Site
Front exterior grading slopes towards buildingDrainage is negative and storm water will flow toward the structure. It may be necessary to alter the grade to divert water away from the building a minimum of ten feet. Be careful not to raise grade at the structure above foundation water proofing for basement areas. Other corrections may also be needed. Monitor storm water run off during and after rains. Make appropriate corrections to meet your needs.

Deck
Deck construction appeared incomplete.Multiple decks were present with steps Area had a partial roof structure Decks were ready for proper correction
Deck was ready for corrections to help strengthen deck and help prevent injury. A competent deck contractor should further evaluate and properly upgrade deck and any deck steps, if present, as needed for safety and function.
Decks should be properly bolted to structure every 16"-24" depending on span of floor joists using a staggered 1/2" bolt layout to prevent splitting the ledger board. Proper correction should be completed to strengthen deck connection to structure.
Deck flashing was not observed where expected for all areas between the deck and the building. Flashing helps prevent water penetrations, rot and wood boring insects from entering the dwelling. Monitor area and correct as needed as adding flashing after construction may not be cost effective. Openings at railings such as at balusters were ready for correction as they did not reject a 4" sphere for all openings.

Equipment
Installation of sewage pump system appeared incomplete.
High water alarm system was not observed at sewage pump system. Properly complete plumbing system installation to meet your needs. Questionable sewage pump system was observed. Obtain installation and warranty information for this equipment. The inspector recommends further evaluation by a competent contractor properly correcting if needed for function or safety. Such pumps should be accessible for periodic

Water Heating
Corrections are needed for the electric water heater.The electrical breaker appeared to be off to the water heater during inspection and the unit was not observed in operation.
Properly put the water heater back in service correcting as needed for function and safety.
Verify Hot/Cold orientation is correct at plumbing outlets correcting if needed.
Water heater leak pan observed discharging to cooling system condensate pump.
Installed Beckett pump model CB201UL is rated at a flow rate of 140 gph. A ruptured water heater will produce a flow rate of 660-1410 gph.
Using the installed condensate pump for the leak pan is the near equivalent to draining the leak pan to the floor.
Leak pan was observed beneath water heater that drains to an interior area defeating function of pan. Proper correction is recommended to prevent damage to interior areas should water heater catch pan receive water such as from water heater leak.

Condensate
Removal
For Downstairs Unit
Condensate pump observed installed outside of condensate overflow pan. Condensate may leak to finished areas when expected malfunction occurs. Proper correction of condensate removal system is recommended. When condensate pump is installed outside of overflow pan there are at least three acceptable corrections.
1) Install small three sided elevated pan beneath condensate pump that properly water falls by gravity to larger overflow pan. Condensate over flow should only accumulate at larger pan controlled by a float if corrected this way.
2) Install secondary overflow pan beneath condensate pump that has water tight piping to larger pan. Water in each pan will seek the same level or should drain to larger pan controlled by a float if corrected this way. 3) A lager pan can be installed to replace existing pan so that all
equipment is in a single pan. This is the most expensive option as the first two options do not require moving larger equipment.
Of course other options may be suitable as well.
