Age Of Water Heater:
15 to 20 years old
Comments:
5.0 Recommend having septic tank inspected. Recommend pumping tank if last pumped more than 3 years ago.
5.2 The water heater's temperature-pressure relief valve drain line is missing. This poses a danger of  scalding if someone is standing next to the water heater when the valve releases. A qualified plumber  should install a drain line as per standard building practices. For example, extending to within 6" from the floor, or routed so as to drain outside.


Substandard wiring was found for the water heater's power supply. This is both a fire and a shock hazard. Recommend having a qualified, licensed electrician evaluate and make repairs as necessary. Typically, electric water heater power supply wires require flexible, armored "BX" conduit, bushing(s) and possibly a covered junction box.


The estimated useful life for most water heaters is 8 to 12 years. This water heater appears to be at this age or older. Recommend budgeting for a replacement in the near future.

It appears that water heater has been converted to electric due to above missing vent flue hole above water heater.

5.7 Plumbing pipe has a leak/damaged. inspector could not check water pressure at the time of inspection.
5.8 If buyer would like to use well water for drinking. Recommend having well water tested before drinking.
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.
