E. Walls (Interior and Exterior) - Comments:

Types: Brick, Concrete Fiber Board

Information Notes: If the interior walls/ceilings have recently been painted, this can hide previous water

stains, cracks, or evidence of repairs. Client is advised to review seller’s disclosure for additional information.

If wallpaper or paneling is installed, these can mask problems like minor stress cracks, moisture, mold, and

damage caused by wood destroying insects. It is advisable not to apply vinyl wallpaper on exterior walls of a

room. Vinyl wallpaper does not allow the wall to breathe and can trap moisture inside the wall cavity. An

inspector can only report on that which is visible, not on things that cannot be seen or covered over.

Walls through out the home may be limited to visible inspection due to drapes or furniture blocking the view of

these areas. It is beyond the scope of this inspection to move furniture to view all areas of the walls;

recommend consulting with sellers for additional information.

For any problem noted under issues, a complete evaluation should be performed prior to close.

The general condition of the interior walls appear to be in serviceable condition at the time of the inspection

unless noted under the individual room comments or issues.

Exterior

Comments:

It is recommend to caulk the openings between the lap siding and the trim to prevent moisture entry.

Issues:

Slight stress cracks observed in the brick veneer wall on the left front side under the porch window, right

front side of the home above the garage door, and right side of the home. This is an indication that

previous deflection or thermo expansion has occurred at this location. Inspector is unable to determine

when this occurred or if additional cracking is likely; recommend re-pointing (repairing) mortar to

prevent moisture intrusion.
