 The Building Inspection

This building inspection is being conducted in accordance with nationally recognized standards of practice and is for the purpose of identifying major deficiencies which might affect your decision whether to purchase.  Although minor problems may be mentioned, this report does not attempt to list them all.

You are urged to attend the inspection and accompany the inspector during the examination of the building.  The information you gain from this will be of great value to you.  This report is a summary of that information.

It is important for you to understand exactly what your professional building inspector is able t odo for you and what the limitaions are in the inspection and analysis.  The inspection is of readily accessible areas of the building and is limited to visual observations only.  The inspector may not move furniture, left carpet, remove panels or dismantle any equipment.

Problems with the Building

This report is not a guaranty or warranty; we cannot eliminate all your risk in purchasing.  There are warranty programs which may be obtained to insure you against failure of some of the major systems of the house.

Home buyers, after settlement and occupying the building, sometimes overlook important information and warnings contained in their reports.  This can result in failure of equipment or other damage which could have been prevented if the inspectors advise and recommendations had been followed.  Please read the report carefully.

After occupancy, all buildings may have some defects which are not identified in the inspection report.  If a problem occurs that you feel the inspector's report did not give you sufficient warning of, call the inspector.  A phone consultaion may be helpful to you in deciding what corrective measures to take and the inspector may be able to advise you in assessing proposals offered by contractors for remedying the problem.

Please consult your inspector before you engage a contractor to examine or correct a possible defect.  Unless prior consultaion occurs, this company cannot assist you further.
