1. The hot water temperature is higher/lower than typically recommended. There is no set/standard temperature required. This call-out is to identify any problems with the water heater and ensure it is functioning as intended.

​

2. The light fixture was not functional when tested. Further evaluation and repair may be needed. This could indicate a defective bulb or faulty wiring. (Sellers should check all light fixtures for burned bulbs prior to inspection.)

​

3. The toilet rocks and is not secure to the floor. Toilets can loosen from time to time from normal wear and tear. Movement of the toilet can result in leaks and damage. Sellers can tighten any loose toilets prior to inspection to avoid this call-out.

 

4. Stains on the ceilings indicate a history of leaks. At the inspection, it was not possible to determine if the condition was due to an active issue or past occurrence. Further investigation by a repair specialist and owner disclosure is recommended. This call-out ensures any current leaks are checked for and that we disclose any information regarding the stain.

​

5. The window(s) has/have a cloudy or hazed appearance. The cloudy appearance indicates that the gas seal between the double glass panes has been jeopardized reducing the visibility through the window and the energy rating of the windows. This call-out is typically a cosmetic issue and tends to be more or less noticeable depending on the season and time of day. 

​

6. The door’s weather-stripping is damaged. The weather-stripping needs repair/replacement to ensure that the door closes securely and is weathertight. Weather-stripping can wear out from time to time and can be easily repaired by a handyman if required.

​

7. The main electrical service panel cover is missing fasteners that secure the cover to the enclosure. The door cover prevents direct contact with hot electrical circuits and contains the electrical energy of the electrical system in the event of a short or electrical explosion; therefore, the cover must be secured with the correct type, size, and, number of fasteners. These fasteners can become loose or fall out over time. This condition presents a safety hazard that could result in serious personal injury or death. This issue can be easily repaired by a handyman if needed.

​

8. The oven/range moves forward when the door is opened. The oven needs to be secured or anchored with an anti-tip bracket to prevent the unit from tipping over when weight is applied to the door. We often see this item on home inspections and it can be easily repaired by a handyman if needed.

​

9. The sink stopper is non-functional and will not retain water on command. This is a common call-out, but it is not of any concern.

​

10. The receptacle(s) is/are not GFCI protected. Receptacles located in hazardous or wet locations should be GFCI protected to reduce shock risks. This is a common issue that a handyman can easily resolve prior to inspection if needed.
