Indoor Air Quality Disclaimer
Indoor Air Quality Disclaimer GENERAL BACKGROUND ON INDOOR AIR QUALITY In the last several years, a growing body of scientific evidence has indicated that the air within homes and other buildings can be more seriously polluted than the outdoor air in even the largest and most industrialized cities. Other research indicates that people spend approximately 90 percent of their time indoors. Thus, for many people, the risks to health may be greater due to exposure to air pollution indoors than outdoors. In addition, people who may be exposed to indoor air pollutants for the longest periods of time are often those most susceptible to the effects of indoor air pollution. Such groups include the young, the elderly, and the chronically ill, especially those suffering from respiratory or cardiovascular disease. While pollutant levels from individual sources may not pose a significant health risk by themselves, most homes have more than one source that contributes to indoor air pollution. There can be a serious risk from the cumulative effects of these sources. Fortunately, there are steps that most people can take both to reduce the risk from existing sources and to prevent new problems from occurring. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) produce a popular and comprehensive publication on the subject of Indoor Air Quality entitled The Inside Story: A Guide to Indoor Air Quality. It describes sources of air pollution in the home and office, corrective strategies, and specific measures for reducing pollutant levels. This illustrated booklet covers all major sources of pollution such as biological contaminants (including bacteria, molds, mildew, viruses, animal dander and cat saliva, house dust mites, cockroaches, and pollen), radon, household chemicals, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, pesticides, asbestos, and lead. U.S. Inspect advises homebuyers and homeowners to research Indoor Air Quality issues through resources available at the federal, state and/or local government levels. The EPA website at www.epa.gov is an informative resource for information on Indoor Air Quality. For individuals without access to the Internet, federal agencies with Indoor Air Quality information include the EPA’s Indoor Air Quality Information Clearinghouse (IAQ INFO) at P.O. Box 37133, Washington, DC, 200137133; (800) 438-4318; (703) 356-4020. Single copies of The Inside Story: A Guide to Indoor Air Quality are available from EPA's IAQ Information Clearinghouse or by visiting the EPA website at www.epa.gov/iaq/pubs/ (the website is recommended for the most up-to-date scientific and technical information). Questions or concerns about Indoor Air Quality issues can also be answered by a variety of state or local government agencies. Calling or writing the agencies responsible for health or air quality control is the best way to start getting information from a state or local government agency. To obtain state agency contacts, individuals can write, call or visit EPA’s IAQ Information Clearinghouse. NO INDOOR AIR QUALITY SERVICES PERFORMED Unless otherwise noted, no services have been performed at the above-referenced Property to determine Indoor Air Quality levels or to assess potential health effects from the possible presence of indoor air pollutants. Where certain Indoor Air Quality services have been performed at the Property (for example, radon testing), such services are exclusively limited to the indoor air pollutant identified and tested. Otherwise, Indoor Air Quality issues have not been addressed in a comprehensive manner, and where they have been addressed, it has been done for general informational purposes only. Homeowners and homebuyers are advised that services customarily rendered in connection with real estate transactions (for example, General Home Inspection and/or Property Condition Assessment services; Appraisals; Broker Value Opinions or Market Analyses; Mortgage Lending and Title Services; Corporate Relocation facilitation services; REALTOR® services; etc.) do not encompass comprehensive testing, analysis or evaluation of Indoor Air Quality, or specific recommendations related to Indoor Air Quality. Homeowners or homebuyers that desire comprehensive Indoor Air Quality testing or investigative services are advised to consult with contractors or professionals of their choice to ascertain the condition of the property and/or to remediate Indoor Air Quality concerns. The EPA advises the general public to check the references of outside contractors or professionals and to make certain they follow recommendations published by the EPA, the guidelines of the American Conference of Government Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH), and/or guidelines from other professional organizations. U.S. Inspect can coordinate the performance of comprehensive Indoor Air Quality testing or investigative services for additional fee(s). Services are performed by members of the U.S. Inspect Network of professional service providers.

WHAT IS A WOOD DESTROYING PEST & ORGANISM INSPECTION REPORT? READ THIS DOCUMENT. IT EXPLAINS THE SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS OF A STRUCTURAL PEST CONTROL INSPECTION AND A WOOD DESTROYING PEST & ORGANISM INSPECTION REPORT. A Wood Destroying Pest & Organism Inspection Report contains findings as to the presence or absence of evidence of wood destroying pests and organisms in visible and accessible areas and contains recommendations for correcting any infestations or infections found. The contents of Wood Destroying Pest & Organism Inspection Reports are governed by the Structural Pest Control Act and regulations. Some structures do not comply with building code requirements or may have structural, plumbing, electrical, mechanical, heating, air conditioning or other defects that do not pertain to wood destroying organisms. A Wood Destroying Pest & Organism Inspection Report does not contain information on such defects, if any, as they are not within the scope of the licenses of either this company, or it's employees. The Structural Pest Control Act requires inspection of only those areas which are visible and accessible at the time of inspection. Some areas of the structure are not accessible to inspection, such as the interior of hollow walls, spaces between floors, areas concealed by carpeting, appliances, furniture or cabinets. Infestations or infections may be active in these areas without visible and accessible evidence. If you desire information about areas that were not inspected, a further inspection may be performed at an additional cost. Carpets, furniture or appliances are not moved and windows are not opened during a routine inspection. The exterior Surface of the roof was not inspected. If you want the water tightness of the roof determined, you should contact a roofing contractor who is licensed by the Contractor's State License Board. This company does not certify or guarantee against any leakage, such as (but not limited to) plumbing, appliances, walls, doors, windows, any type of seepage, roof or deck coverings. This company renders no guarantee, whatsoever, against any infection, infestation or any other adverse condition which may exist in such areas or may become visibly evident in such area after this date. Upon request, further inspection of these areas would be performed at an additional charge. In the event damage or infestation described herein is later found to extend further than anticipated, our bid will not include such repairs. OWNER SHOULD BE AWARE OF THIS CLOSED BID WHEN CONTRACTING WITH OTHERS OR UNDERTAKING THE WORK HIMSELF/HERSELF. If requested by the person ordering this report, a re-inspection of the structure will be performed. Such requests must be within four (4) months of the date of this inspection. Every re-inspection fee amount shall not exceed the original inspection fee. Wall paper, stain, or interior painting are excluded from our contract. New wood exposed to the weather will be prime painted, only upon request at an additional expense. All pesticides and fungicides must be applied by a state certified applicator (sec. 8555 Business and Professions Code Division 3) and in accordance with the manufacturer's label requirements. This company will reinspect repairs done by others within four months of the original inspection. A charge, if any, can be no greater than the original inspection fee for each reinspection. The reinspection must be done within ten (10) working days of request. The reinspection is a visual inspection and if inspection of concealed areas is desired, inspection of work in progress will be necessary. Any guarantees must be received from parties performing repairs. “NOTICE: Reports on this structure prepared by various registered companies should list the same findings (i.e. termite infestations, termite damage, fungus damage, etc.). However, recommendations to correct these findings may vary from company to company. You have a right to seek a second opinion from another company.” This Wood Destroying Pest & Organisms Report DOES NOT INCLUDE MOLD or any mold like conditions. No reference will be made to mold or mold-like conditions. Mold is not a Wood Destroying Organism and is outside the scope of this report as defined by the Structural Pest Control Act. If you wish your property to be inspected for mold or mold like conditions, please contact the appropriate mold professional.

AND WILL NOT CERTIFY CHEMICAL APPLICATIONS PERFORMED BY OTHERS. (REINSPECTION FEES ARE $125 PER TRIP.) THANK YOU!!!!!! "Thank you for selecting our company to perform a structural pest control inspection on your property. In accordance with the laws and regulations of the State of California, we are required to provide you and your occupants with the following information. Please take a few moments to read and become familiar with the contents below. CAUTIONS AND DISCLAIMERS: The Pest Control Industry recognizes a structure to have certain areas that are inaccessible and not inspected. These areas were not inspected by this firm. These are included but are not limited to: The water testing of second floor showers due to the covered shower pan; the water testing of bath tubs, or any plumbing; inaccessible and/or insulated attics or portions thereof due to the covering ceiling joists; attics with less than 18' clear crawl space; the interior of hollow walls or any other wooden member covered by insulation, plaster, stucco, paint, tile, sheetrock or any other material; the crawl space underneath the deck less than 12' due to limited access, covered ceiling; spaces between a floor or porch deck and the ceiling below; areas where there is no access without defacing or tearing out lumber, masonry, foliage or any other finished work; areas underneath, behind or below appliances (because we do not move appliances due to the risk of floor or finished work damage), or beneath floor coverings or furnishing (because we do not remove these items for inspection) or storage (because our inspector does not move stored items due to the risk of breakage or damage); locked areas and areas requiring an extension ladder (because our inspector does not carry an extension ladder), areas where encumbrances, storage, conditions or locks made inspection impractical; and wooden members of the subarea crawl space covered with insulation. ATTIC: A physical inspection of the attic was not performed due to possible ceiling damage. A visual inspection from the access did not reveal any infestation or infection. If the owner or interested party wishes further representation in this area, a written damage waiver will have to be received. This would be done upon request and at an additional charge. SLAB FLOOR CONSTRUCTION: Floor covering may conceal cracks in the slab that will allow infestations to enter. Infestations may be concealed by plaster, sheetrock or other wall coverings so that a diligent inspection may not uncover the true condition. In the performance of corrective measures, it may be necessary to drill into concealed areas and/or to cut or remove plants. The termite exterminator will not be liable for plumbing, heating, electrical, gas lines and equipment in or under a slab nor to plants which may be damaged during the treatments and/or repairs. GUARANTEE POLICY: This guarantee excludes structures with sub slab heating/air conditioning systems, plenum construction with air conditioning and heating duct in use, a well or cistern within fifty feet and areas that are inaccessible for treatment. Additional exclusions include structures with damage to or from excessive moisture, inadequate construction, areas of

inaccessibility, deteriorating materials, masonry failure, grade alteration, pipes and conduits beneath concrete slab, furnishings or contents, etc. No guarantee will be issued for any work that is a secondary recommendation or work completed by others. Guaranteed for thirty days (30 days) are any plumbing, grouting, caulking and resetting of commodes, sinks or enclosures, or any other structural repair for defects in materials or workmanship. All other work performed by this company shall be guaranteed for one year (1 year). This retreatment guarantee is limited to the reinfestations originating from the treated soil only and does not provide protection against damage to the structure or its contents by a reinfestation. Formosan termites are specifically excluded from any guarantee expressed or implied. PERMITS: We believe the work we have recommended in our inspection does not require a building permit. Our bid does not include any such cost. We will however secure all permit fees at an additional cost + the cost of permit. ROOF REPAIRS: OUR ESTIMATE DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY REPAIRS TO ROOF COVERING. DURING REPAIRS, IF WE DISTURB THE ROOF, WE WILL REPAPER ONLY. WE RECOMMEND OWNER TO HIRE ROOFER FOR ANY ROOF REPAIRS. IN THE EVENT ANY TILE IS BROKEN, IT WILL BE THE OWNER'S RESPONSIBILITY TO HIRE ROOFER TO INSTALL NEW TILE AT OWNER'S EXPENSE. RECENTLY PAINTED STRUCTURE: PORTIONS OF THE BUILDING APPEAR TO HAVE BEEN RECENTLY PAINTED. OUR FIRM DOES NOT PROBE FINISHED AREAS AND IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY ADVERSE CONDITIONS CONCEALED BY PAINT. STATE LAW REQUIRES THAT YOU BE GIVEN THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION: ""CAUTION - PESTICIDES ARE TOXIC CHEMICALS. Structural Pest Control Operators are licensed and regulated by the Structural Pest control Board, and apply pesticides which are registered and approved for use by the California Department of Food and Agriculture and the United States Environmental Protection Agency. Registration is granted when the state finds that based on scientific evidence, there are no appreciable risks weighted by the benefits. The degree of risk depends on the degree of exposure, so exposure should be minimized."" ""If within 24 hours following application, you experience symptoms similar to common seasonal illness comparable to the flu, contact your physician or poison control center and your pest control operator immediately.""

Indoor Air Quality Disclaimer GENERAL BACKGROUND ON INDOOR AIR QUALITY In the last several years, a growing body of scientific evidence has indicated that the air within homes and other buildings can be more seriously polluted than the outdoor air in even the largest and most industrialized cities. Other research indicates that people spend approximately 90 percent of their time indoors. Thus, for many people, the risks to health may be greater due to exposure to air pollution indoors than outdoors. In addition, people who may be exposed to indoor air pollutants for the longest periods of time are often those most susceptible to the effects of indoor air pollution. Such groups include the young, the elderly, and the chronically ill, especially those suffering from respiratory or cardiovascular disease. While pollutant levels from individual sources may not pose a significant health risk by themselves, most homes have more than one source that contributes to indoor air pollution. There can be a serious risk from the cumulative effects of these sources. Fortunately, there are steps that most people can take both to reduce the risk from existing sources and to prevent new problems from occurring. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) produce a popular and comprehensive publication on the subject of Indoor Air Quality entitled The Inside Story: A Guide to Indoor Air Quality. It describes sources of air pollution in the home and office, corrective strategies, and specific measures for reducing pollutant levels. This illustrated booklet covers all major sources of pollution such as biological contaminants (including bacteria, molds, mildew, viruses, animal dander and cat saliva, house dust mites, cockroaches, and pollen), radon, household chemicals, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, pesticides, asbestos, and lead. U.S. Inspect advises homebuyers and homeowners to research Indoor Air Quality issues through resources available at the federal, state and/or local government levels. The EPA website at www.epa.gov is an informative resource for information on Indoor Air Quality. For individuals without access to the Internet, federal agencies with Indoor Air Quality information include the EPA's Indoor Air Quality Information Clearinghouse (IAQ INFO) at P.O. Box 37133, Washington, DC, 20013-7133; (800) 438-4318; (703) 356-4020. Single copies of The Inside Story: A Guide to Indoor Air Quality are available from EPA's IAQ Information Clearinghouse or by visiting the EPA website at www.epa.gov/iaq/pubs/ (the website is recommended for the most up-to-date scientific and technical information). Questions or concerns about Indoor Air Quality issues can also be answered by a variety of state or local government agencies. Calling or writing the agencies responsible for health or air quality control is the best way to start getting information from a state or local government agency. To obtain state agency contacts, individuals can write, call or visit EPA's IAQ Information Clearinghouse. Unless otherwise noted, no services have been performed at the above-referenced Property to determine Indoor Air Quality levels or to assess potential health effects from the possible presence of indoor air pollutants. Where certain Indoor Air Quality services have been performed at the Property (for example, radon testing), such services are exclusively limited to the indoor air pollutant identified and tested. Otherwise, Indoor Air Quality issues have not been addressed in a comprehensive manner, and where they have been addressed, it has been done for general informational purposes only. Homeowners and homebuyers are advised that services customarily rendered in connection with real estate transactions (for example, General Home Inspection and/or Property Condition Assessment services; Appraisals; Broker Value Opinions or Market Analyses; Mortgage Lending and Title Services; Corporate Relocation facilitation services; REALTOR(r) services; etc.) do not encompass comprehensive testing, analysis or evaluation of Indoor Air Quality, or specific recommendations related to Indoor Air Quality.

2. PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF THE RELOCATION PROPERTY ASSESSMENT To provide a professional opinion of a relocating employee’s main dwelling and its immediate surrounding area in its "as is" condition, as of the date of assessment, limited to the definitions and guidelines as established by the Client and within this Property Assessment document.
3. OBJECTIVE OF THE RELOCATION PROPERTY ASSESSMENT To provide the Client with data about a relocating employee’s main dwelling and its immediate surrounding area, based on a visual assessment of items identified by category in this Property Assessment document.
4. DEFINITION OF THE RELOCATION PROPERTY ASSESSMENT A visual, non-invasive evaluation and status of the items identified by category on the ensuing pages. The reporting of apparent defects (not cosmetic deficiencies) that call for corrective action is limited to three categories: 1) structure; 2) unsafe or hazardous conditions; and 3) inoperative systems or appliances. 1. Structure: A load-bearing member of a building (including, but not limited to, footings, foundation walls, posts, beams, floor joists, bearing walls, or roof framings) is to be reported as defective if it has one or more of these characteristics: Abnormal cracking or splitting; Unusual settlement; Deterioration such as rot or pest infestation damage; Improper alignment or structural integrity compromised by modification or abuse; or Other characteristics that affect the building’s structural integrity. 2. Unsafe or Hazardous Conditions: Any item that is identified as a safety defect or a hazard, the presence or absence of which would be dangerous. Unless directed by the Client, the reporting of the possible presence of lead based paint, asbestos, ureaformaldehyde foam insulation, radon, electromagnetic radiation, toxic wastes, molds or fungus, and other environmental or indoor air pollutants are outside the scope of this Property Assessment. 3. Inoperative Systems and Appliances: Any installed systems or built-in appliances that do not operate properly or perform their intended function in response to normal use. Unless directed by the Client, the following areas are outside the scope of this assessment: (i) cosmetic deficiencies; (ii) deferred maintenance items; (iii) the condition of on-site waste and water systems; (iv) the condition of underground fuel storage tanks; (v) the quality of the water supply; (vi) geological hazards such as floods, erosion, earthquakes, landslides, mudslides and volcanoes; and (vii) governmental or lender requirements. Furthermore, this Property Assessment is not a representation of compliance or noncompliance with federal, state, or local government regulations and codes (e.g., building codes, zoning ordinances, energy efficiency ratings, addition or remodeling permits, etc.). Estimated costs to correct items identified in this Property Assessment as defective and/or items that may require attention are not bids and do not give rise to performance obligations on the part of the Property Assessment Provider. The Property Assessment Provider is not engaged in the business of providing repair; renovation or improvement services; as such, the Property Assessment Provider has not and cannot determine the actual cost of any repairs, renovations or improvements that may be advised or desired. The cost estimates reflect national, state and/or local cost averages as derived from the review of cost estimator manuals and other information sources by the Property Assessment Provider; all cost estimates should be followed by firm quotes or bids from qualified, reputable contractors.

NP = Not present: Does not exist in the structure being inspected. NI = Not inspected: When an item is not evaluated, the reason or explanation is to be included. D = Defective: A structural system or component with one or more of the following evidences: • • • • •
Not performing its designed function. Structurally unsound. Compromised or misused. Not installed or built according to accepted practices or specifications. Adversely effecting the structural integrity.
4 CONDITION OF STRUCTURAL COMPONENT Answer the following questions: • • •
WHAT is the defect? WHY is it a defect or what problem is it causing? WHERE is the defect located? Please be specific.
**IMPORTANT: The explanation of defect for any item(s) marked “D” as well as reasons why, for any item(s) marked “NI” needs to be explained next to its respective line item below. Please mark an item “D” only if it has a structural defect.
AC NI NP D 1 X _ _ _ FOOTINGS: See No. 2, Foundation Walls below. 2 X _ _ _ FOUNDATION WALLS: Interior floors are out-of-level throughout the home. Uneveness is most noticible in the living room which is located over the front of the garage. Some of the sloping floors may be due to long-term deflection of floor joists while the predominate slope to the right in the living room and bedroom behind is due to settlement at the right side of the garage. Significantly out-of-square windows and door at the right side light-well are further evidence of settlement. Along the right side of the garage near the front door the settlement is visible in the top of the foundation wall. Interior wall and ceiling finishes are in very good condition indicating that there has been little-to-no settlment since the interior was last refurbished. Tile at bathroom floors and tub surrounds is likewise in good condition with no visible cracks or grout spalling. It appears that most, if not all, settlement has already occurred. At this point there is little to gain by installation of new piers or piles to support the foundation. Mortar is soft at the brick foundation along the right side of the garage near the front. This appears to be due to long-term contact with moisture seeping through from the exterior soil. Eventually the mortar will deteriorate to the point where it no longer supports the exterior wall load and the foundation will need to be replaced. In it’s current condition the ability of the brick foundation wall to resist lateral loads can not be determined without benefit of a mortar bed test and structural analysis. The foundation does appear to be supporting gravity loads so far. Limited repair to the upper 12” of the brick foundation has been done since 1997 along the back of the garage partition wall between garage units and along the back. 3

WHAT IS A WOOD DESTROYING PEST & ORGANISM INSPECTION REPORT? READ THIS DOCUMENT. IT EXPLAINS THE SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS OF A STRUCTURAL PEST CONTROL INSPECTION AND A WOOD DESTROYING PEST & ORGANISM INSPECTION REPORT. A Wood Destroying Pest & Organism Inspection Report contains findings as to the presence or absence of evidence of wood destroying pests and organisms in visible and accessible areas and contains recommendations for correcting any infestations or infections found. The contents of Wood Destroying Pest & Organism Inspection Reports are governed by the Structural Pest Control Act and regulations. Some structures do not comply with building code requirements or may have structural, plumbing, electrical, mechanical, heating, air conditioning or other defects that do not pertain to wood destroying organisms. A Wood Destroying Pest & Organism Inspection Report does not contain information on such defects, if any, as they are not within the scope of the licenses of either this company, or it's employees. The Structural Pest Control Act requires inspection of only those areas which are visible and accessible at the time of inspection. Some areas of the structure are not accessible to inspection, such as the interior of hollow walls, spaces between floors, areas concealed by carpeting, appliances, furniture or cabinets. Infestations or infections may be active in these areas without visible and accessible evidence. If you desire information about areas that were not inspected, a further inspection may be performed at an additional cost. Carpets, furniture or appliances are not moved and windows are not opened during a routine inspection. The exterior Surface of the roof was not inspected. If you want the water tightness of the roof determined, you should contact a roofing contractor who is licensed by the Contractor's State License Board. This company does not certify or guarantee against any leakage, such as (but not limited to) plumbing, appliances, walls, doors, windows, any type of seepage, roof or deck coverings. This company renders no guarantee, whatsoever, against any infection, infestation or any other adverse condition which may exist in such areas or may become visibly evident in such area after this date. Upon request, further inspection of these areas would be performed at an additional charge. In the event damage or infestation described herein is later found to extend further than anticipated, our bid will not include such repairs. OWNER SHOULD BE AWARE OF THIS CLOSED BID WHEN CONTRACTING WITH OTHERS OR UNDERTAKING THE WORK HIMSELF/HERSELF. If requested by the person ordering this report, a re-inspection of the structure will be performed. Such requests must be within four (4) months of the date of this inspection. Every re-inspection fee amount shall not exceed the original inspection fee. Wall paper, stain, or interior painting are excluded from our contract. New wood exposed to the weather will be prime painted, only upon request at an additional expense. All pesticides and fungicides must be applied by a state certified applicator (sec. 8555 Business and Professions Code Division 3) and in accordance with the manufacturer's label requirements. This company will reinspect repairs done by others within four months of the original inspection. A charge, if any, can be no greater than the original inspection fee for each reinspection. The reinspection must be done within ten (10) working days of request. The reinspection is a visual inspection and if inspection of concealed areas is desired, inspection of work in progress will be necessary. Any guarantees must be received from parties performing repairs. “NOTICE: Reports on this structure prepared by various registered companies should list the same findings (i.e. termite infestations, termite damage, fungus damage, etc.). However, recommendations to correct these findings may vary from company to company. You have a right to seek a second opinion from another company.” This Wood Destroying Pest & Organisms Report DOES NOT INCLUDE MOLD or any mold like conditions. No reference will be made to mold or mold-like conditions. Mold is not a Wood Destroying Organism and is outside the scope of this report as defined by the Structural Pest Control Act. If you wish your property to be inspected for mold or mold like conditions, please contact the appropriate mold professional.

AND WILL NOT CERTIFY CHEMICAL APPLICATIONS PERFORMED BY OTHERS. (REINSPECTION FEES ARE $125 PER TRIP.) THANK YOU!!!!!! "Thank you for selecting our company to perform a structural pest control inspection on your property. In accordance with the laws and regulations of the State of California, we are required to provide you and your occupants with the following information. Please take a few moments to read and become familiar with the contents below. CAUTIONS AND DISCLAIMERS: The Pest Control Industry recognizes a structure to have certain areas that are inaccessible and not inspected. These areas were not inspected by this firm. These are included but are not limited to: The water testing of second floor showers due to the covered shower pan; the water testing of bath tubs, or any plumbing; inaccessible and/or insulated attics or portions thereof due to the covering ceiling joists; attics with less than 18' clear crawl space; the interior of hollow walls or any other wooden member covered by insulation, plaster, stucco, paint, tile, sheetrock or any other material; the crawl space underneath the deck less than 12' due to limited access, covered ceiling; spaces between a floor or porch deck and the ceiling below; areas where there is no access without defacing or tearing out lumber, masonry, foliage or any other finished work; areas underneath, behind or below appliances (because we do not move appliances due to the risk of floor or finished work damage), or beneath floor coverings or furnishing (because we do not remove these items for inspection) or storage (because our inspector does not move stored items due to the risk of breakage or damage); locked areas and areas requiring an extension ladder (because our inspector does not carry an extension ladder), areas where encumbrances, storage, conditions or locks made inspection impractical; and wooden members of the subarea crawl space covered with insulation. ATTIC: A physical inspection of the attic was not performed due to possible ceiling damage. A visual inspection from the access did not reveal any infestation or infection. If the owner or interested party wishes further representation in this area, a written damage waiver will have to be received. This would be done upon request and at an additional charge. SLAB FLOOR CONSTRUCTION: Floor covering may conceal cracks in the slab that will allow infestations to enter. Infestations may be concealed by plaster, sheetrock or other wall coverings so that a diligent inspection may not uncover the true condition. In the performance of corrective measures, it may be necessary to drill into concealed areas and/or to cut or remove plants. The termite exterminator will not be liable for plumbing, heating, electrical, gas lines and equipment in or under a slab nor to plants which may be damaged during the treatments and/or repairs. GUARANTEE POLICY: This guarantee excludes structures with sub slab heating/air conditioning systems, plenum construction with air conditioning and heating duct in use, a well or cistern within fifty feet and areas that are inaccessible for treatment. Additional exclusions include structures with damage to or from excessive moisture, inadequate construction, areas of

inaccessibility, deteriorating materials, masonry failure, grade alteration, pipes and conduits beneath concrete slab, furnishings or contents, etc. No guarantee will be issued for any work that is a secondary recommendation or work completed by others. Guaranteed for thirty days (30 days) are any plumbing, grouting, caulking and resetting of commodes, sinks or enclosures, or any other structural repair for defects in materials or workmanship. All other work performed by this company shall be guaranteed for one year (1 year). This retreatment guarantee is limited to the reinfestations originating from the treated soil only and does not provide protection against damage to the structure or its contents by a reinfestation. Formosan termites are specifically excluded from any guarantee expressed or implied. PERMITS: We believe the work we have recommended in our inspection does not require a building permit. Our bid does not include any such cost. We will however secure all permit fees at an additional cost + the cost of permit. ROOF REPAIRS: OUR ESTIMATE DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY REPAIRS TO ROOF COVERING. DURING REPAIRS, IF WE DISTURB THE ROOF, WE WILL REPAPER ONLY. WE RECOMMEND OWNER TO HIRE ROOFER FOR ANY ROOF REPAIRS. IN THE EVENT ANY TILE IS BROKEN, IT WILL BE THE OWNER'S RESPONSIBILITY TO HIRE ROOFER TO INSTALL NEW TILE AT OWNER'S EXPENSE. RECENTLY PAINTED STRUCTURE: PORTIONS OF THE BUILDING APPEAR TO HAVE BEEN RECENTLY PAINTED. OUR FIRM DOES NOT PROBE FINISHED AREAS AND IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY ADVERSE CONDITIONS CONCEALED BY PAINT. STATE LAW REQUIRES THAT YOU BE GIVEN THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION: ""CAUTION - PESTICIDES ARE TOXIC CHEMICALS. Structural Pest Control Operators are licensed and regulated by the Structural Pest control Board, and apply pesticides which are registered and approved for use by the California Department of Food and Agriculture and the United States Environmental Protection Agency. Registration is granted when the state finds that based on scientific evidence, there are no appreciable risks weighted by the benefits. The degree of risk depends on the degree of exposure, so exposure should be minimized."" ""If within 24 hours following application, you experience symptoms similar to common seasonal illness comparable to the flu, contact your physician or poison control center and your pest control operator immediately.""

Indoor Air Quality Disclaimer GENERAL BACKGROUND ON INDOOR AIR QUALITY In the last several years, a growing body of scientific evidence has indicated that the air within homes and other buildings can be more seriously polluted than the outdoor air in even the largest and most industrialized cities. Other research indicates that people spend approximately 90 percent of their time indoors. Thus, for many people, the risks to health may be greater due to exposure to air pollution indoors than outdoors. In addition, people who may be exposed to indoor air pollutants for the longest periods of time are often those most susceptible to the effects of indoor air pollution. Such groups include the young, the elderly, and the chronically ill, especially those suffering from respiratory or cardiovascular disease. While pollutant levels from individual sources may not pose a significant health risk by themselves, most homes have more than one source that contributes to indoor air pollution. There can be a serious risk from the cumulative effects of these sources. Fortunately, there are steps that most people can take both to reduce the risk from existing sources and to prevent new problems from occurring. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) produce a popular and comprehensive publication on the subject of Indoor Air Quality entitled The Inside Story: A Guide to Indoor Air Quality. It describes sources of air pollution in the home and office, corrective strategies, and specific measures for reducing pollutant levels. This illustrated booklet covers all major sources of pollution such as biological contaminants (including bacteria, molds, mildew, viruses, animal dander and cat saliva, house dust mites, cockroaches, and pollen), radon, household chemicals, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, pesticides, asbestos, and lead. U.S. Inspect advises homebuyers and homeowners to research Indoor Air Quality issues through resources available at the federal, state and/or local government levels. The EPA website at www.epa.gov is an informative resource for information on Indoor Air Quality. For individuals without access to the Internet, federal agencies with Indoor Air Quality information include the EPA's Indoor Air Quality Information Clearinghouse (IAQ INFO) at P.O. Box 37133, Washington, DC, 20013-7133; (800) 438-4318; (703) 356-4020. Single copies of The Inside Story: A Guide to Indoor Air Quality are available from EPA's IAQ Information Clearinghouse or by visiting the EPA website at www.epa.gov/iaq/pubs/ (the website is recommended for the most up-to-date scientific and technical information). Questions or concerns about Indoor Air Quality issues can also be answered by a variety of state or local government agencies. Calling or writing the agencies responsible for health or air quality control is the best way to start getting information from a state or local government agency. To obtain state agency contacts, individuals can write, call or visit EPA's IAQ Information Clearinghouse. Unless otherwise noted, no services have been performed at the above-referenced Property to determine Indoor Air Quality levels or to assess potential health effects from the possible presence of indoor air pollutants. Where certain Indoor Air Quality services have been performed at the Property (for example, radon testing), such services are exclusively limited to the indoor air pollutant identified and tested. Otherwise, Indoor Air Quality issues have not been addressed in a comprehensive manner, and where they have been addressed, it has been done for general informational purposes only. Homeowners and homebuyers are advised that services customarily rendered in connection with real estate transactions (for example, General Home Inspection and/or Property Condition Assessment services; Appraisals; Broker Value Opinions or Market Analyses; Mortgage Lending and Title Services; Corporate Relocation facilitation services; REALTOR(r) services; etc.) do not encompass comprehensive testing, analysis or evaluation of Indoor Air Quality, or specific recommendations related to Indoor Air Quality. Homeowners or homebuyers that desire comprehensive Indoor Air Quality testing or investigative services are advised to consult with contractors or professionals of their choice to ascertain the condition of the property and/or to remediate Indoor Air Quality concerns. The EPA advises the general public to check the references of outside contractors or professionals and to make certain they follow recommendations published by the EPA, the guidelines of the American Conference of Government Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH), and/or guidelines from other professional organizations. U.S. Inspect can coordinate the performance of comprehensive Indoor Air Quality testing or investigative services for additional fee(s). Services are performed by members of the U.S. Inspect Network of professional service providers.

2. PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF THE RELOCATION PROPERTY ASSESSMENT To provide a professional opinion of a relocating employee’s main dwelling and its immediate surrounding area in its "as is" condition, as of the date of assessment, limited to the definitions and guidelines as established by the Client and within this Property Assessment document.
3. OBJECTIVE OF THE RELOCATION PROPERTY ASSESSMENT To provide the Client with data about a relocating employee’s main dwelling and its immediate surrounding area, based on a visual assessment of items identified by category in this Property Assessment document.
4. DEFINITION OF THE RELOCATION PROPERTY ASSESSMENT A visual, non-invasive evaluation and status of the items identified by category on the ensuing pages. The reporting of apparent defects (not cosmetic deficiencies) that call for corrective action is limited to three categories: 1) structure; 2) unsafe or hazardous conditions; and 3) inoperative systems or appliances. 1. Structure: A load-bearing member of a building (including, but not limited to, footings, foundation walls, posts, beams, floor joists, bearing walls, or roof framings) is to be reported as defective if it has one or more of these characteristics: Abnormal cracking or splitting; Unusual settlement; Deterioration such as rot or pest infestation damage; Improper alignment or structural integrity compromised by modification or abuse; or Other characteristics that affect the building’s structural integrity. 2. Unsafe or Hazardous Conditions: Any item that is identified as a safety defect or a hazard, the presence or absence of which would be dangerous. Unless directed by the Client, the reporting of the possible presence of lead based paint, asbestos, ureaformaldehyde foam insulation, radon, electromagnetic radiation, toxic wastes, molds or fungus, and other environmental or indoor air pollutants are outside the scope of this Property Assessment. 3. Inoperative Systems and Appliances: Any installed systems or built-in appliances that do not operate properly or perform their intended function in response to normal use. Unless directed by the Client, the following areas are outside the scope of this assessment: (i) cosmetic deficiencies; (ii) deferred maintenance items; (iii) the condition of on-site waste and water systems; (iv) the condition of underground fuel storage tanks; (v) the quality of the water supply; (vi) geological hazards such as floods, erosion, earthquakes, landslides, mudslides and volcanoes; and (vii) governmental or lender requirements. Furthermore, this Property Assessment is not a representation of compliance or noncompliance with federal, state, or local government regulations and codes (e.g., building codes, zoning ordinances, energy efficiency ratings, addition or remodeling permits, etc.). Estimated costs to correct items identified in this Property Assessment as defective and/or items that may require attention are not bids and do not give rise to performance obligations on the part of the Property Assessment Provider. The Property Assessment Provider is not engaged in the business of providing repair; renovation or improvement services; as such, the Property Assessment Provider has not and cannot determine the actual cost of any repairs, renovations or improvements that may be advised or desired. The cost estimates reflect national, state and/or local cost averages as derived from the review of cost estimator manuals and other information sources by the Property Assessment Provider; all cost estimates should be followed by firm quotes or bids from qualified, reputable contractors.

NP = Not present: Does not exist in the structure being inspected. NI = Not inspected: When an item is not evaluated, the reason or explanation is to be included. D = Defective: A structural system or component with one or more of the following evidences: • • • • •
Not performing its designed function. Structurally unsound. Compromised or misused. Not installed or built according to accepted practices or specifications. Adversely effecting the structural integrity.
4 CONDITION OF STRUCTURAL COMPONENT Answer the following questions: • • •
WHAT is the defect? WHY is it a defect or what problem is it causing? WHERE is the defect located? Please be specific.
**IMPORTANT: The explanation of defect for any item(s) marked “D” as well as reasons why, for any item(s) marked “NI” needs to be explained next to its respective line item below. Please mark an item “D” only if it has a structural defect.
AC NI NP D 1 X _ _ _ FOOTINGS: See No. 2, Foundation Walls below. 2 X _ _ _ FOUNDATION WALLS: Interior floors are out-of-level throughout the home. Uneveness is most noticible in the living room which is located over the front of the garage. Some of the sloping floors may be due to long-term deflection of floor joists while the predominate slope to the right in the living room and bedroom behind is due to settlement at the right side of the garage. Significantly out-of-square windows and door at the right side light-well are further evidence of settlement. Along the right side of the garage near the front door the settlement is visible in the top of the foundation wall. Interior wall and ceiling finishes are in very good condition indicating that there has been little-to-no settlment since the interior was last refurbished. Tile at bathroom floors and tub surrounds is likewise in good condition with no visible cracks or grout spalling. It appears that most, if not all, settlement has already occurred. At this point there is little to gain by installation of new piers or piles to support the foundation. Mortar is soft at the brick foundation along the right side of the garage near the front. This appears to be due to long-term contact with moisture seeping through from the exterior soil. Eventually the mortar will deteriorate to the point where it no longer supports the exterior wall load and the foundation will need to be replaced. In it’s current condition the ability of the brick foundation wall to resist lateral loads can not be determined without benefit of a mortar bed test and structural analysis. The foundation does appear to be supporting gravity loads so far. Limited repair to the upper 12” of the brick foundation has been done since 1997 along the back of the garage partition wall between garage units and along the back. 3
