DENSE VEGETATION

Dense vegetation was present around the house in areas.  This condition limited and restricted my visual inspection.  Dense vegetation and landscaping up against or near the house foundation and exterior walls may be prone to water penetration and insect infestation. Trimming, pruning and some landscaping is recommended by a qualified contractor

9.15.1 – Fixture Valve Installation And Temperature

Fixture Valve Installation And Temperature 1

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.
