While the siding on this particular home appears to be in good condition, the buyers should be vigilant in maintaining both paint and caulk.  Specifically, make sure that end and butt-joints are caulked and painted thoroughly, and that the bottom edges of the siding are covered with painted to prevent delamination.
4) Exterior: One porch light over the deck didn't work.  Recommend replacing bulb or repairing as necessary.
5) Roof: Recommend securing flashing where upstairs wall meets lower roof on west side.
6) Roof: Light moss exists on roof.  Recommend treatment with a moss killer such as household laundry detergent or a commercial zinc-based product .  Zinc strips can also be nailed to roof to prevent moss growth in the future.
7) Attic: Bathroom exhaust ducts terminate in attic.  This can result in moisture accumulating in the attic, causing mold and/or rot.  Recommend installing adequate vent caps and securely connecting the ducts to the caps.
8) Water heater: Temperature-pressure relief valve drain line is missing.  Recommend installing a 3/4" drain line extending to within 6" of the floor, or routed so as to drain outside.
9) Water heater: The temperature pressure relief valve is leaking, resulting in a wet floor under the water heater.  No rot was visible in the flooring despit it being wet. This leak may have started recently.  Recommend having a licensed plumber evaluate and repair or replace the temperature-pressure relief valve.
10) Water heater: This water heater is older than its estimated useful life of 8-10 years.  The buyers should be aware that it may need replacing at any time.
11) Heating and air conditioning: Outlet box for electrostatic filter isn't mounted securely and is missing its cover plate.  Recommend securely mounting the box to the wall and installing a cover plate to avoid exposed wiring.
12) Heating and air conditioning: The electrostatic filters and pre-filters can't be removed for cleaning because the furnace flue blocks access to the filter cover.  Recommend having a heating contractor correct this so the filters can be removed and cleaned periodically.  The filters were unable to be evaluated because of this condition.
13) Heating and air conditioning: Last service date was unable to be determined.  Recommend having furnace serviced now and on an annual basis in the future.
14) Electrical: The second breaker from the bottom on the left in the main service panel is "double-tapped".  Two branch circuit wires are clamped into its terminal when it's designed for only one wire.  Recommend having a licensed electrician evaluate and repair.
15) Plumbing and laundry: Water pressure is greater than 80 psi.  Some appliances such as water heaters and washing machines can be damaged by pressures higher than 80 psi. Recommend having a licensed plumber install a pressure reducing valve to limit pressure below 80 psi.
16) Solid fuel stove, insert or fireplace: The chimney appeared to have a significant build-up of creosote.  Recommend having the chimney professionally cleaned.
17) Crawl space: Rotting form boards were found along the west wall of the east crawl space area.  Recommend removing these boards to avoid attracting wood destroying insects.
18) Crawl space: What appear to be oil fuel lines are visible along the east wall of west crawl space area.  This may indicate that an abandoned underground oil tank exists on the property.  Recommend determining if an underground tank exists on the property. If one exists and it hasn't been decomissioned, then recommend that the soils around the tank be tested for oil contamination and that the tank be decommissioned.
19) Kitchen: Two outlets in the NE corner above the counter are hot/neutral reversed.  Recommend having a licensed electrician evaluate and repair.
20) Kitchen: The outlet under the sink was missing its cover plate.  Recommend installing a cover plate to avoid exposed wiring.
