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.

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)

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
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
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.
