REI 7-5 (5/4/2015)
This property inspection report may include an inspection agreement (contract), addenda, and other information related to property
conditions. If any item or comment is unclear, you should ask the inspector to clarify the findings. It is important that you carefully
read ALL of this information.
This inspection is subject to the rules ("Rules") of the Texas Real Estate Commission ("TREC"), which can be found at
www.trec.texas.gov.
The TREC Standards of Practice (Sections 535.227-535.233 of the Rules) are the minimum standards for inspections by TREC-
licensed inspectors. An inspection addresses only those components and conditions that are present, visible, and accessible at the
time of the inspection. While there may be other parts, components or systems present, only those items specifically noted as being
inspected were inspected. The inspector is NOT required to turn on decommissioned equipment, systems, utility services or apply an
open flame or light a pilot to operate any appliance. The inspector is NOT required to climb over obstacles, move furnishings or
stored items. The inspection report may address issues that are code-based or may refer to a particular code; however, this is NOT a
code compliance inspection and does NOT verify compliance with manufacturer's installation instructions. The inspection does NOT
imply insurability or warrantability of the structure or its components. Although some safety issues may be addressed in this report,
this inspection is NOT a safety/code inspection, and the inspector is NOT required to identify all potential hazards.
In this report, the inspector shall indicate, by checking the appropriate boxes on the form, whether each item was inspected, not
inspected, not present or deficient and explain the findings in the corresponding section in the body of the report form. The inspector
must check the Deficient (D) box if a condition exists that adversely and materially affects the performance of a system or component
or constitutes a hazard to life, limb or property as specified by the TREC Standards of Practice. General deficiencies include
inoperability, material distress, water penetration, damage, deterioration, missing components, and unsuitable installation. Comments
may be provided by the inspector whether or not an item is deemed deficient. The inspector is not required to prioritize or emphasize
the importance of one deficiency over another.
Some items reported may be considered life-safety upgrades to the property. For more information, refer to Texas Real Estate
Consumer Notice Concerning Recognized Hazards or Deficiencies below.
THIS PROPERTY INSPECTION IS NOT A TECHNICALLY EXHAUSTIVE INSPECTION OF THE STRUCTURE, SYSTEMS
OR COMPONENTS. This inspection may not reveal all deficiencies. A real estate inspection helps to reduce some of the risk
involved in purchasing a home, but it cannot eliminate these risks, nor can the inspection anticipate future events or changes in
performance due to changes in use or occupancy. If is recommended that you obtain as much information as is available about this
property, including seller's disclosures, previous inspection reports, engineering reports, building/remodeling permits, and reports
performed for and by relocation companies, municipal inspection departments, lenders, insurers, and appraisers. You should also
attempt to determine whether repairs, renovation, remodeling, additions, or other such activities have taken place at this property. It is
not the inspector's responsibility to confirm that information obtained from these sources is complete or accurate or that this
inspection is consistent with the opinions expressed in previous or future reports.
ITEMS IDENTIFIED IN THE REPORT DO NOT OBLIGATE ANY PARTY TO MAKE REPAIRS OR TAKE OTHER ACTIONS,
NOR IS THE PURCHASER REQUIRED TO REQUEST THAT THE SELLER TAKE ANY ACTION. When a deficiency is
reported, it is the client's responsibility to obtain further evaluations and/or cost estimates from qualified service professionals. Any
such follow-up should take place prior to the expiration of any time limitations such as option periods.
