There are exposed water pipes running through unheated space, which should be insulated to guard against
energy loss, freezing, and damage to the piping and dwelling.
Electrical
There are a wide variety of electrical systems with an even greater variety of components, and any one
particular system may not conform to current standards or provide the same degree of service and safety.
What is most significant about electrical systems however is that the national electrical standard is not
retroactive, and therefore many residential systems do not comply with the latest safety standards.
Regardless, we are not electricians and in compliance with the standards of practice we only test a
representative number of switches and outlets and do not perform load-calculations to determine if the
supply meets the demand. However, in the interests of safety, we regard every electrical deficiency and
recommended upgrade as a latent hazard that should be serviced as soon as possible, and that the entire
system be evaluated and certified as safe by a licensed contractor. Therefore, it is essential that any
recommendations that we may make for service or upgrades should be completed before the close of
escrow, because an electrician could reveal additional deficiencies or recommend some upgrades for which
we disclaim any responsibility.
