All comments by the inspector should be considered before purchasing this home.

All costs associated with further inspection fees and repair or replacement of item, component or unit should be considered before you purchase the property.

Inspected (IN) = I visually observed the item, component or unit and if no other comments were made then it appeared to be functioning as intended allowing for normal wear and tear.

Not Inspected (NI) = I did not inspect this item, component or unit and made no representations of whether or not it was functioning as intended and will state a reason for not inspecting.

Not Present (NP) = This item, component or unit is not in this home or building.

Significantly Deficient (SD) = Defined by Illinois State Law as either a) not functioning or b) posing a safety hazard. It should be noted that a large number of significantly deficient items can be addressed at little cost. It is important to remember that the safety of a significantly deficient item is not based upon mere local building codes, which contain 'grandfathering' clauses, or the common 'accepted' practices of tradesmen, but on current national and international safety requirements and with the well being of the property and the client in mind.

2.5 Fuel Storage and Distribution Systems (Interior fuel storage, piping, venting, supports, leaks)
Comments: Inspected
The plumbing in the home was inspected and reported on with the above information. While the inspector makes every effort to find all areas of concern, some areas can go unnoticed. Washing machine drain line for example cannot be checked for leaks or the ability to handle the volume during drain cycle. Older homes with galvanized supply lines or cast iron drain lines can be obstructed and barely working during an inspection but then fails under heavy use. If the water is turned off or not used for periods of time (like a vacant home waiting for closing) rust or deposits within the pipes can further clog the piping system. Please be aware that the inspector has your best interest in mind. Any repair items mentioned in this report should be considered before purchase. It is recommended that qualified contractors be used in your further inspection or repair issues as it relates to the comments in this inspection report.
