Roof System
Flashing at vent pipe
The galvanized metal flashing around the plumbing vent pipe shows significant corrosion and is lifted from the shingle base. Visible gaps allow water intrusion onto the roof deck. Active staining observed on the attic sheathing directly below confirms past leakage.
Recommended action: Have a licensed roofing contractor remove and replace the flashing assembly. Inspect attic sheathing for rot during repair.
Asphalt shingle wear at south slope
Granule loss and edge curling observed on the south-facing slope, consistent with normal wear for the home's age. No active leakage observed at time of inspection.
Recommended action: Monitor annually. Plan for full roof replacement within the next 5–7 years.
Plumbing
Water heater T&P discharge pipe
The temperature & pressure relief discharge pipe on the 2009 Rheem 40-gallon natural gas water heater terminates above the drip pan, rather than within 6 inches of the floor as required by code (IRC P2804.6).
Recommended action: Have a licensed plumber extend the T&P discharge pipe to terminate 6" or less above the floor or directly into a properly trapped drain.
Electrical
GFCI not present at kitchen counter receptacle
The receptacle located within 6 feet of the kitchen sink does not have GFCI protection. GFCI protection has been required at kitchen counter outlets within 6' of a sink since 1996.
Recommended action: Have a licensed electrician install GFCI protection at the affected receptacle(s) — either a GFCI outlet or upstream GFCI breaker.
Structural
Settlement crack at south foundation wall
Vertical hairline crack (approximately 1/16" wide) observed in the south foundation wall, consistent with typical settlement for the home's age. No displacement or active moisture intrusion observed at time of inspection.
Recommended action: Monitor for changes. Seal with an appropriate masonry crack filler to prevent moisture infiltration.
Exterior
Gutter detached at northwest corner
The aluminum gutter at the northwest corner of the home is detached from the fascia and sloping incorrectly, causing water to overflow at the corner during rainfall. Staining on the exterior siding below confirms repeated overflow.
Recommended action: Reattach gutter, verify slope toward downspout, and clean accumulated debris.
