Concerning: 4610 Nina Lee, Houston, TX 77092

(Address of Inspected Property)

By: Glenn Wharton, #TREC 3772 02/11/2010

(Name and License Number of Inspector) (Date)

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.state.tx.us.
The TREC Standards of Practice (Sections 535.227-535.231 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 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 will note which systems and components were Inspected (I), Not Inspected
(NI), Not Present (NP), and/or Deficient (D). General deficiencies include inoperability, material distress,
water penetration, damage, deterioration, missing parts, 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 as Deficient may be considered life-safety upgrades to the property. For more
information, refer to Texas Real Estate Consumer Notice Concerning Recognized Hazards, form OP-I.
This property inspection is not an exhaustive inspection of the structure, systems, or components. The
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. It is recommended that you obtain
as much information as is available about this property, including any seller's disclosures, previous
inspection reports, engineering reports, building/remodeling permits, and reports performed for or 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 action, 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.
Evaluations by qualified tradesmen may lead to the discovery of additional deficiencies which may involve
additional repair costs. Failure to address deficiencies or comments noted in this report may lead to further
damage of the structure or systems and add to the original repair costs. The inspector is not required to

provide follow-up services to verify that proper repairs have been made.
Property conditions change with time and use. For example, mechanical devices can fail at any time,
plumbing gaskets and seals may crack if the appliance or plumbing fixture is not used often, roof leaks can
occur at any time regardless of the apparent condition of the roof, and the performance of the structure and
the systems may change due to changes in use or occupancy, effects of weather, etc. These changes or
repairs made to the structure after the inspection may render information contained herein obsolete or
invalid. This report is provided for the specific benefit of the client named above and is based on
observations at the time of the inspection. If you did not hire the inspector yourself, reliance on this report
may provide incomplete or outdated information. Repairs, professional opinions or additional inspection
reports may affect the meaning of the information in this report. It is recommended that you hire a licensed
inspector to perform an inspection to meet your specific needs and to provide you with current information
concerning this property.

I. STRUCTURAL SYSTEMS
ý ¨ ¨ ¨ A. Foundations
Type of Foundation(s): Slab on Grade
Comments:
Performance Opinion:
Note: Weather conditions, drainage, leakage, and other adverse factors are able to effect structures, and
differential movements are likely to occur. The inspectors opinion is based on visual observations of
accessible and unobstructed areas of the structure at the time of the inspection. Future performance of the
structure cannot be predicted or warranted.

ý The foundation appears to be performing the function intended

¨ Structural movement and/or settling noted, however, the foundation is supporting the structure at this time
¨ Signs of structural movement noted, suggest that an expert in this field be consulted for further evaluation of
the structure and to provide suggestions as to what, if any, corrective actions should be taken

Method used to inspect the crawlspace: ¨ Entered ¨ Viewed from opening ¨ No Access
Location(s) of crawl space access:
¨ Some areas of the crawlspace is not accessible due to low clearance, piping, ductwork, etc.

SUGGESTED FOUNDATION MAINTENANCE & CARE - Proper drainage and moisture maintenance to all
types of foundations due to the expansive nature of the area load bearing soils. Drainage must be directed
away from all sides of the foundation with grade slopes. In most cases, floor coverings and/or stored articles
prevent recognition of signs of settlement - cracking in all but the most severe cases. It is important to note, this
was not a structural engineering survey nor was any specialized testing done of any sub-slab plumbing
systems during this limited visual inspection, as these are specialized processes requiring excavation. In the
event that structural movement is noted, client is advised to consult with a Structural Engineer who can isolate
and identify causes, and determine what corrective steps, if any, should be considered to either correct and/or
stop structural movement.

ý ¨ ¨ ý B. Grading & Drainage - Comments

The Company does not determine area hydrology, the presence of underground water, or the efficiency
or operation of underground or surface drainage systems.

^: Evidence of ponding water was noted at the rear, right and left of dwelling. Allowing water to pond
around the perimeter of the dwelling can cause swelling of the soil supporting the foundation. Allowing
the soils to move differently under the dwelling will cause damage to the foundation. Proper grading of
soil should be maintained around the perimeter of dwelling to allow proper drainage.

ý ¨ ¨ ý C. Roof Covering Materials

Type(s) of Roof Covering: Shingles - Asphault
Viewed From: Ground
Comments:
A home inspector can not determine the remaining life of any component,
such as the roof.

X: Splash block's and downspout are missing from the front gutter. Splash block's prevent soil erosion
and over moisture saturation of soil in isolated areas from run off water around perimeter of dwelling.

X: At the time of the inspection it was noted that the roof covering was experiencing signs of wear
that are typical for a roof of this age, such as blistering, loss of aggregate, cupping of tabs and
brittle to the touch. Shingles are broken at the front slope. It is apparent that the roof covering is
nearing the end of its serviceable life.

ý ¨ ¨ ¨ D. Roof Structure & Attic

Viewed From: Attic
Approximate Average Depth of Insulation: 2
Approximate Average Thickness of Vertical Insulation: None
Comments:
Some areas of the attic were inaccessible due to roof slope and household storage.

¨ T-1-11 or Plywood ¨ OTHER__________
Exterior trim types: ¨ Fiber Cement ý Wood ¨ Composite Wood ¨ Vinyl ¨ Aluminum

X: I recommend trimming or removal of vegetation growing in contact with the siding at perimeter of
dwelling. Allowing vegetation to grow on the dwelling prevents proper visual monitoring of the dwelling
for insect infestation. Vegetation also promotes moisture levels that will cause siding to rot and create
conducive conditions for wood destroying insects.
