WATER NOT HOT

The hot water in the shower did not get over 100 degrees whereas the nearby faucets did. This may indicate that either the mixing valve (safety feature to limit potential scalding) or control cartridge needs adjustment to achieve a hot shower. There may be a more significant issue, that only further evaluation can reveal.

Hot and cold supply was installed correctly and the property’s overall hot water temperature was within an acceptable range.

Recommend a qualified contractor evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.

HIGH WATER PRESSURE

The property water supply pressure  measured at the exterior faucet or laundry appliance hose bib. Property water supply pressure exceeded the 80 pounds per square inch (PSI) limit considered the maximum allowable by generally accepted current standards. Excessively high water pressure can stress connections in the plumbing system and appliances is likely to cause leaks.

A qualified contractor should install a pressure regulator or evaluate and repair or replace one as necessary.

An ambient air test was performed to determine if the difference in temperatures of the supply and return air was between 14 degrees and 22 degrees. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair/replace as necessary.

 18 – Sewer Scope
18.3.1 – Sewer Line Condition
Sewer Line Condition 1
*STANDING WATER

The are one or more sections of standing water in the line. Ideally, all water should drain from the line, but areas of standing water will form when flow is restricted or significantly slowed. This is usually caused by improper pitch, bellies, or obstructions in the line. We recommend the line be cleaned by a qualified cleaning contractor and then reinspected to determine the cause of the standing water. A licensed plumber may need to be consulted to determine any necessary corrective actions.

18.3.2 – Sewer Line Condition
Sewer Line Condition 2
Sewer Line Condition 3
*MODERATE TO SEVERE BELLY/BELLIES

The soil or earth surrounding the pipe may not be compacted tightly enough around it, which creates issues over time. Without proper compacting, the pipe can sag and settle lower than intended. This can create a pond-like low spot in the line that can interrupt the natural flow of water. A sag in a sewer pipe will eventually lead to standing water and sediment collecting in the line, which in turn can lead to erosion, blockages, or a backup.

The belly or bellies in this line are considered moderate to severe. We recommend consulting a qualified sewer line repair or replacement contractor to evaluate if further action is required. 

18.4.1 – Overall Recommendations
**FURTHER EVALUATION

The main sewer line appears to be compromised. We recommend consulting with a sewer line repair/replacement contractor for further evaluation.
