RE: 128 Edgewood Trail

Pocahontas AR. 72455

Dear Luther and Nina Peterson,

At your request a visual inspection was made of the referenced property on this date:07/28 /2020

REPORT SUMMARY

This inspection, which is an examination of systems or components of the building using normal
operating controls and opening readily accessible panels, reflects the visual conditions of the
property at the time of the inspection only. A readily assessable panel is one that is provided for
homeowner inspection and maintenance that is within normal reach, can be removed by one
person and is not sealed in place. Readily accessible means that the system or component is
available for inspection without moving personal property, dismantling, destructive measures or
any action that will involve risk to persons or property. Normal operating controls are devices
such as thermostats switches or valves intended to be operated by the homeowner. A home
inspection is the process we use to visually examine a home and describe its systems and
components. Hidden or concealed defects cannot be included in this report.

Systems or components (if any) that are shut down, which means that they cannot be operated by
normal operating controls, are not inspected and are identified throughout this report. No
warranty or guarantee is either expressed or implied. This report is not an insurance policy, nor a
home warranty service. Due to varying insurance standards, it is recommended that your
insurance company be contacted to verify the insurability of the house prior to closing.

Overall, the home appears to have been constructed in a workmanlike manner, consistent with
the local building trades and standards of practice in effect at the time of construction and
appears to have had average maintenance over the years. However, the inspection has revealed
that the following items should be addressed. Each of these items will likely require further
evaluation and repair. A further evaluation simply means the examination and analysis by a
qualified professional, trades' person or service technician beyond that provided by the home
inspection. This Inspector advises you to obtain competitive estimates for these items. Other
minor items are also noted in the enclosed report and should receive eventual attention, but none
of them affect the habitability of the house. The majority are the result of normal wear and tear.

3
SUGGESTIONS FOR EVERY HOME:

1. Exterior door locks should be either re-keyed or changed, unless you are positive that you are
in possession of all keys.
2. Clothes washer hoses should be replaced no less than once every five years.
3. Remember to change smoke alarm batteries twice each year.
4. Building standards of practice recommends that the door from house interior to garage have a
self-closing mechanism installed.
5. The Consumer Product Safety Commission issues recall notices on a regular basis
concerning specific building appliances. Should you suspect any appliance in your home
may be affected, please visit their web site: www.cpsc.gov
6. Client may want to consider the purchase of a Home Warranty.

Once again we would like to thank you for choosing Dement Home Inspections for your
inspection.

Sincerely,

David Dement
Home Inspector

Structure
(Exterior Walls/Trim/Chimney(s)/Exterior Doors/ Foundation/
Basement/ Crawlspace/)
Within this section, you will find that the inspector has inspected structural components including the foundation
and framing. A structural component is a component that supports the forces and weights of both dead and live
loads. The inspector will have probed a representative number of structural components where deterioration is
suspected or where clear indications of potential deterioration exists. Probing is not accomplished when such
probing would damage any finished surface or where deterioration is visible or presumed to exist. The inspector has
inspected the siding (exterior wall covering and cladding); chimney and vents; all exterior doors; attached decks,
balconies, stoops, steps, porches and their railings; eaves, soffits and fascias where accessible from the ground level;
and vegetation, grading, surface drainage and retaining walls that are likely to adversely affect the building; adjacent
or entryway walkways, patios and driveways. You will find a description of the method used to inspect the under-
floor crawl space and the attic; the foundation; the floor structure; the wall structure; the ceiling structure and the
roof structure. You will find a description of the siding and the chimney. Areas which are hidden or concealed by
finished materials or stored items cannot be inspected and are not including in this report. Typical cracks are
defined as minor cracks that do not represent a structural problem. Major cracks cause the routine recommendation
for further evaluation by a structural engineer. Surface drainage should allow for the drainage of water away from
the building foundation. Concrete will crack as part of the drying process. All concrete slabs will experience some
cracking. Installed floor coverings, carpet, tile, etc, will hide all but the most severe cracks. Inspections are visual
in nature and therefore the condition of flooring can usually not be determined.

also provided. The inspector's opinion concerning the quality and condition of the roofing material is provided. No
warranty is expressed or implied as to whether the roof leaks or is subject to future leakage. The only way to make
a judgment as the roof weather tightness is to observe the roof during a prolonged rainfall which is usually not the
situation at a home inspection. Due to varying insurance standards, it is recommended that your insurance company
be contacted about insurability of this roof. Insulation and ventilation are also covered in this Section. The
inspection will include the insulation and vapor retarders; ventilation of the attic and foundation area, including
mechanical ventilation systems. The report will describe the insulation and vapor retarders and also the absence of
insulation. Insulation is not disturbed during the inspection process.

 STANDARDS OF PRACTICE: GENERAL LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS

Inspection reports should be performed in accordance with the Standards of Practice as adopted
by the American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI).

The purpose of the Standards of Practice is to establish a minimum and uniform standard for
home inspectors. Home Inspections performed to these Standards of Practice are intended to
provide the client with objective information regarding the condition of the systems and
components of the home as inspected at the time of the home inspection.

Home inspectors are required to subscribe to and comply with the Code of Ethics as adopted by
the Arkansas Home Inspector Board through legislation enacted by the Arkansas Legislature.
The home inspector is required to inspect readily accessible, visually observable, installed
systems and components as defined in each component section of this report.

This report depicts those systems and components inspected that, in the professional judgment of
the inspector, are not functioning properly, are significantly deficient, are unsafe (a condition
that is judged to be a significant risk of bodily injury during normal, day-to-day use, the risk may
be due to damage, deterioration, improper installation, or a change in accepted residential
construction standards) or are near the end of their service lives. Prudence dictates that unsafe
conditions are to be immediately reported to any and all persons or entities that may be at risk
or to protect persons or property from danger or loss. Recommendations to correct, or monitor
for future correction, the deficiencies reported or items needing further evaluation. Inspectors
are not required to determine methods, materials or costs of corrections.

Reasoning or explanation as to the nature of the deficiencies should be reported unless they are
self-evident.

Systems and components designed for inspection that were present at the home inspection should
be inspected and reported. Should those systems or components not be inspected, the reason(s)
they were not inspected should be reported.

The Standards of Practice are not intended to: (1) limit inspectors from including other
inspection services in addition to those required in the Standards; (2) designing or specifying
repairs, provided the inspector is qualified and willing to do so; and (3) excluding systems from
the inspection if requested by the client.

This inspection report is divided into the various systems present in the home at the time of the
inspection. These systems may include, but not necessarily be limited to: structural components,
exterior, roofing, plumbing, electrical, heating, air conditioning, interiors, insulation and
ventilation, and fireplaces and solid fuel burning appliances. The Standards of Practice for each
of these specific systems is included as a header at the beginning of its particular section.

There has been no attempt to perform any action or make any determination not specifically
stated in the Standards of Practice. The inspector is not required to perform any action or make
any determination not specifically stated in the Standards of Practice. Inspections are not

28
technically exhaustive. Inspectors cannot identify concealed conditions, latent defects or
consequential damage(s).

Inspectors are not required to determine the following concerning systems or components:
conditions that are not readily accessible; remaining life expectancy; strength, adequacy,
effectiveness or efficiency; causes of any condition or deficiency; methods, materials or costs of
corrections; future conditions; suitability of the property for any specialized use; compliance
with any regulatory requirements including codes, regulations, laws, ordinances, etc; market
value or marketability; advisability as to the purchase of the property; presence of potentially
hazardous plants or animals including but not limited to wood destroying organisms or diseases
harmful to humans including molds or mold-like substances; presence of environmental hazards;
effectiveness of any system or method used to control or remove suspected hazardous
substances; operating costs; acoustical properties; or soil conditions.

Inspectors are not required to offer or perform any act or service contrary to law; perform
engineering services; perform any trade or professional service other than home inspection; or
any kind of warranty or guarantee.

Inspectors are not required to operate any system or component that: is shut down or otherwise
inoperable; does not respond to normal operating controls; or shut-off valves or manual stop
valves.

Inspectors are not required to enter: any area that will, in the opinions of the inspector, likely be
dangerous to the inspector or other persons or damage the property; or under-floor crawl spaces
(the area within the confines of the foundation and between the ground and the underside of the
floor) or attics that are not readily accessible.

Inspectors are not required to inspect: underground items whether abandoned or active; items
that are not installed; installed decorative or ornamental items unless they are required for the
proper operation of the home; areas that are not entered; detached structures other than if the
primary garage or carport; or common elements or areas in multi-unit housing such as
condominium or cooperative properties or housing.

Inspectors are not required to: perform any procedure or operation that will, in the opinion of the
inspector, likely be dangerous to the inspector or other persons or damage the property; describe
any system not included in the Standards of Practice, if it was not inspected; move personal
property, furniture, equipment, plants, soil, snow, ice or debris; or dismantle any system or
component unless it is required by the Standards of Practice.
