Inspector, Veo A. Moore TN00198 Ultrasound Home Inspections

Report Summary This is a summary review of the inspectors' findings during this inspection. However, it does not contain every detailed observation. This is provided as an additional service to our client, and is presented in the form of a listing of the items which, in the opinion of your inspector, merit further attention, investigation, or improvement. Some of these conditions are of such a nature as to require repair or modification by a skilled craftsman, technician, or specialist. Others can be easily handled by a homeowner such as yourself. Often, following the inspector's advice will result in improved performance and/or extended life of the component(s) in question. In listing these items, your inspector is not offering any opinion as to who, among the parties to this transaction, should take responsibility for addressing any of these concerns. As with most of the facets of your transaction, we recommend consultation with your Real Estate Professional for further advice with regards to the following items:

ESTIMATED AGE OF HOUSE BUILDING CHARACTERISTICS INSPECTION CONDITIONS

s-9: The home appears to have been built in 1947. The age of this house would indicate that there is a good possibility that it may contain lead-based paint, asbestos products as well as other materials that were discontinued prior to the late 1970s due to hazardous health related concerns. The testing of any suspect materials and or environmental issues is beyond the scope of the Tennessee Standards of Practice and is not part of this inspection. In addition, if the paint on the house is lead base paint and is in need of scrapped/sanded prior to repainting, or if the building contains other hazardous materials such as those mentioned above, the cost for the removal and preparation could be rather expensive. If any type of remodeling/renovation is necessary or needed in the near future, further investigation as well as cost estimates should be obtained prior to closing.

s-25: Power lines were found in contact with trees limbs between the electrical pole and the house.
