a leak but sometimes cannot. Please be aware that the inspector has your best interest in mind. Any repair items

Mold Evaluation: This is not a Mold or Fungus inspection. It is advised to have a Mold specialist examine the property
and structure and do a complete inspection to determine the presence or absence of any Mold that may affect the health
or safety of the occupants. It is typical when a building is remodeled or repairs are undertaken that additional problems
may surface that were not noted on the inspection report. This is to be expected as walls, floors and ceilings are opened
up during the work/remodel to reveal areas that were not accessible during the inspection. Any remodeling work
undertaken on property should be expected to reveal some possible hidden issues and it is recommended that additional
sums be set aside for this purpose.
