Sloped roofing material: Flat roofing material: Chimneys: Masonry Asphalt shingles Modified bitumen membrane
Observations and Recommendations

General As per the Seller, work was completed on the roof approximately 5 years ago. Unable to determine the extent of the work done. Snow/ice on the roof restricted access during the inspection. A full inspection by a specialist is recommended when the snow is gone. Repairs may be required based on the results of the full inspection.
Inspection Methods and Limitations

Roof inspection method: Roof inspection method: Camera on extension pole Binoculars from the ground Snow/ice

Gutters and Downspouts: Aluminum Some downspouts discharge above grade and some below grade Gutter and Downspout Discharge: Retaining Walls: Wall Surfaces: Masonry Brick Vinyl siding

DOWNSPOUTS \ 1.0 Condition: The City of Toronto requires downspouts be disconnected from the city sewers. Why? The sewers handle both storm water and waste from houses. Waste has to go through the sewage treatment system, which is very expensive. Storm water does not have to be treated, and should not go into city sewers. Downspouts should discharge above grade onto the lawn at least 6 feet from the home. This may require relocating downspouts and re-sloping gutters. Details can be found at http://www.toronto.ca/water/pdf/mandatory_downspout_disconnection_program-qa.pdf Location: Rear Task: Improve Time: As soon as possible Cost: Minor LOT GRADING \ General Condition: Window well - missing Location: West Task: Provide Time: Less than 1 year Cost: Not determined

TERMITES \ General Condition: This house is in a neighbourhood where termites are active. No damage was visible in the house although interior finishes limited the inspection. Annual inspection by a pest control specialist is recommended (~ $300). A chemical treatment should be provided if/when needed. Enquire regarding establishing a warranty. Condition: A Toronto company specializing in termite control is Aetna Pest Control: 416-469-4111.

Limitations: No access under rear addition Finishes, insulation, furnishings and storage conceal structural components, preventing/restricting inspection. Wall space - no access Floor space - restricted / no access The footings supporting the house are typically not visible and cannot be inspected. Only a small part of the foundation can be seen and inspected from outside the home. Finished or concealed portions of the interior of the foundation cannot be inspected. Limitations: Attic - no access

HOUSE WIRING - KNOB-AND-TUBE \ 4.2 Condition: It is possible that there is knob-and-tube wiring in the home, based on the age of the property, although none was noted during the inspection. If knob-and-tube wiring is found, the following information may be helpful. OUTLETS \ 5.1 Condition: Some ungrounded 3-prong outlets were noted. There is a slight risk of shock in using three-prong appliances with these outlets. While they are not as good as grounding, Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI) outlets protect people and are a good cost-effective improvement. The cost is typically roughly $100 each. One GFI protects one entire circuit. (5.2.2)

Limitations: Concealed electrical components are not inspected. Pot lights not verified as rated for use in insulated ceilings. This should be checked by a qualified electrician. Main disconnect cover not removed - unsafe to do so. The continuity and quality of the system ground are not verified as part of a home inspection. The home inspection includes only a sampling check of wiring, lights, receptacles, etc.

WASTE PIPING \ General Condition: A video inspection of the waste plumbing is recommended to determine whether there are tree roots, other obstructions, or damaged pipe. This is common on older properties, especially when mature trees are nearby. This is a great precautionary measure and can help prevent a sewage backup, although many homeowners wait until there are problems with the drains. The cost may be roughly $250 to $500.

Condition:
We cannot predict the frequency or severity of basement leakage.
WHAT TO DO IF YOUR BASEMENT OR CRAWLSPACE LEAKS \ 10.0 Condition: Almost every basement (and crawlspace) leaks under the right conditions. Based on a one-time visit, it's impossible to know how often or severe leaks may be. While we look for evidence of past leakage during our inspection, this is often not a good indicator of current conditions. Exterior conditions such as poorly performing gutters and downspouts, and ground sloping down toward the house often cause basement leakage problems. Please read Section 10.0 in the text before taking any action. To summarize, wet basement issues can be addressed in 4 steps: 1. First, ensure gutters and downspouts carry roof run-off away from the home. (relatively low cost) 2. If problems persist, slope the ground (including walks, patios and driveways) to direct water away from the home. (Low cost if done by homeowner. Higher cost if done by contractor or if driveways, patios and expensive landscaping are disturbed.) 3. If the problem is not resolved and the foundation is poured concrete, seal any leaking cracks and form-tie holes from the inside. (A typical cost is $300 to $600 per crack or hole.) 4. As a last resort, dampproof the exterior of the foundation, provide a drainage membrane and add/repair perimeter drainage tile. (High cost)

Limitations: Finding and identifying environmental issues such as asbestos is outside the scope of a home inspection. Asbestos may be present in many building products and materials. An Environmental Consultant can assist if this is a concern. Security systems, intercoms, central vacuum systems, chimney flues and elevators are not included as part of a home inspection. Smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors are not tested as part of a home inspection. Moisture problems may result in visible or concealed mould growth. An Environmental Consultant can assist if this is a concern. Limited access to cabinets and closets Perimeter drainage tile around foundations is not visible and is not included as part of a home inspection. Basement leakage frequency or severity cannot be predicted during a home inspection No comment is made on cosmetic finishes during a home inspection. Limitations: Basement finishes restricted the inspection 95 Storage/furnishings in some areas limited inspection

GOOD ADVICE FOR ALL HOMEOWNERS: problems. Roof Leaks: Roofs may leak at any time. Leaks often appear at roof penetrations, flashings, changes in direction or The following items explain how to prevent and correct some common
changes in material. A roof leak should be addressed promptly to avoid damage to the structure, interior finishes and furnishings. A roof leak does not necessarily mean the roof has to be replaced. Maintaining the Exterior of Your Home: Regular maintenance includes painting and caulking of all exterior wood. An annual maintenance agreement that covers parts and
Heating and Cooling System - Annual Maintenance:
labour is recommended for all heating and cooling equipment. Humidifiers and electronic air cleaners should be included in the service agreement. The first service visit should be arranged as soon as possible, preferably before equipment is used. Electrical System - Label the Panel: The electrical panel should be labelled to indicate what is controlled by each
fuse or breaker. Where the panel is already labelled, please verify the labelling is correct. Do not rely on the labelling being accurate. Reduce Air Leaks: Insulation is not effective if air (and the heat that goes with it) can escape from the home. Caulking
and weather-stripping help control air leakage, improving comfort while reducing energy consumption and costs. Air leakage control improvements are inexpensive and provide a high return on investment. Bathtub and Shower Maintenance : Caulking and grout in bathtubs and showers should be checked every six
months and improved as necessary to prevent leakage and damage behind wall surfaces. Basement/Crawlspace Leakage: for more information. Almost every basement (and crawlspace) leaks under the right conditions. Click
Smoke and Carbon Monoxide (CO) Detectors:
Smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) detectors should be provided at
every floor level of every home, including basements and crawl spaces. (Even if they are present during the inspection, we recommend replacing detectors.) Smoke detectors should be close to sleeping areas, and carbon monoxide detectors should be in any room with a wood-burning stove or fireplace. These devices are not tested as part of a home inspection. Once you take possession of the home, detectors should be tested regularly, and replaced every 10 years. If unsure of the age of a smoke detector, it should be replaced. Smoke detector batteries should be replaced annually. MORE GOOD INFORMATION: on a range of topics.
