昨天做的Inspection，晚上收到报告。第一次做买房inspection，对报告里的各种问题
的严重程度和花费都没经验，昨晚在网上搜了一些相关资料，但还是有很多拿不准的，
想请教版上的xdjms给看看，（知道不可能让卖家全部或者大部分cover，）怎么选择要
修的跟卖家谈。这个报告里问题还不少: ( 房子是90年代的。
****************************************************************************
*********
Major:
1. Trim/Overhang Cladding: Wood rot noted on trim. We are unable to
investigate if the damage is more than surface damage. Recommend a qualified
carpenter evaluate the cause and correct as needed.
2. Vent/Exhaust Condition: Water Heater- Exhaust gases spilling at water
heater. This is a potential hazard. Recommend licensed plumber evaluate
system and correct as needed.
3. Furnace Heating and Cooling: Flames/burners appeared improper at the time
of inspection. Recommend qualified HVAC technician evaluate system and
correct as needed.
4. Window Interior: Deterioration/Rot noted at some windows. Recommend
qualified window professional evaluate system and correct as needed.
****************************************************************************
*********
Safe:
5. Trip Hazard present at driveway garage connection. A section of the
driveway pad has sunk leaving a Trip Hazard. Trip Hazard also present on
walk exterior grounds. You should have a concrete specialist evaluate and
discuss options of repair.
6. Garage door spring is broken.
7. Water Heater: Debris noted at water heater draft hood. This is often a
sign of back-drafting and is a hazard. Gas leak noted at water heater
control.
8. Furnace Heating and Cooling: White powder noted. The byproducts of
burning gas are acidic. The white material is the material produced when the
acid in the exhaust reacts with metal it encounters. If the metal is
galvanized, it will react with zinc in the galvanizing the same way acid
reacts with zinc in the battery posts on the car and produce the material. A
lot means that exhaust is losing buoyancy and is thus cooling too rapidly.
If there is a lot of this product and it goes on long enough, it can ruin an
exhaust vent and/or the heat exchanger. Gas Leaks detected.
9. B-vent has evidence of back drafting.
10. Master Bathroom: Improper light fixture over shower. This is a hazard.
You should have a licensed electrician install a proper water resistant
light fixture. Jet pump did not operate.
11. Basement Stairs/Railings Interior: Loose railings.
****************************************************************************
********
Minor:
12. Trim/Overhang cladding: Improper installation of flashing. This may
cause wood rot. Recommend qualified siding professional evaluate system and
correct as needed.
13. Faucet Utilities Exterior: Broken handle. Water was not able to be shut
off at the exterior spigot. Replace it.
14. Roof: Nail popping through shingle.
15. Toilet: Floor around toilet tested damp with moisture meter. Unchecked
moisture at a toilet can cause damage to the flooring members. We are unable
to determine if the moisture is coming from sources other than the toilet
itself. (For Master Bathroom and Central Bathroom)
16. Central Bathroom: Floor where tub and vinyl flooring meet appears to
have loosened and could allow water to damage the subfloor.
17. Half bath: Toilet is loose at floor. There is a wax ring that seals the
toilet to the drain pipe.
18. Window Interior: Binding, did not open. Some were found to be painted /
swelled shut. Windows did not seat properly, unable to lock.
****************************************************************************
*********
Exterior Grounds:
1. Drive way: Expansion joints should be sealed to prevent water penetration
and movement.
2. Walks: Gaps present at walk-step connection. This should be filled and
sealed to prevent water penetration which could damage the foundation.
Concrete is sloping toward building. This can cause water seepage and
basement wall damage.
3. Patio: Older/worn, lower parts in pavers. This will allow water to pond
and drain next to the foundation. Walk/patio needs repair or replacement.
Cladding:
1. Vinyl/Metal Siding: Some holes in siding, repair.
2. Exterior of windows: Recent Paint. Recent paint may conceal evidence of
past or present conditions, such as water staining, deterioration or
cracking. Wood windows present older/worn surface.
Roof:
1. Asphalt Shingle: Exposed nails/screw or other fastener. Nails have been
applied through the top of the shingle.
2. Gutters: Leaking or evidence of leaking noted.
3. Valley: Gaps. This could allow water penetration.
4. Bath Vents: Clogged with insect nests.
Chimney:
1. Structure: Rot noted.
2. Chimney Crown/Cap: Significant rust noted. If the corrosion penetrates
the material water may enter the structure and cause damage.
Garage floor:
Salt damage/pitting is noted.
Branch Circuits:
Improper wiring support/staples of wiring under kitchen sink.
Attic:
Insulation: Uneven insulation levels, insulation has settled or has been
moved, leaving partially un-insulated areas. This may cause condensation
which, with no air/flow may cause bio-growth.
Bathroom:
1. Master Bathroom: Drain pipe is not an approved material. These pipes are
prong to clogging and leakage.
2. Central Bathroom: Sink drain stopper did not operate properly. Shower
head pipe not secure.
3. Half Bathroom: Floor at toilet is damaged. Dry at time of inspection.
Repair.
Kitchen:
Exhaust Fan Vent To: Unable to determine exact discharge location. Suggest
verifying that exhaust fan discharges outside and piping/damages are clean
and in good condition and operating properly.
地下室装修过，只有一小部分可以看foundation wall之类的，没什么问题。
看下来，感觉major是要修的，Safe 里面第10和第11是不是可以不提要求？Minor里面
哪些比较严重呢？楼主小白感觉都是说大可大，说小可小的问题，抓狂。除了那三类，
其他问题哪些可以要求卖家修的（卖家比较容易接受的）?看房一年终于找到一个各方
面都比较满意的，恳请牛牛们指点！谢谢！

Furnace, water heater and windows都是original的， 前两个分别是22年和12年，已
经用到头了。能要求换吗？要求卖家换这些，感觉要一大笔钱啊。
