Camelot Home Inspection Services - Page 2 Important Information - Please Read Carefully
Thank you for choosing Camelot Home Inspection Services. You have contracted with us to perform a
generalist inspection in accordance with the Standards of Practice established by the California Real
Estate Inspection Association, a copy of which is available upon request, and which can be read or
downloaded by visiting www.creia.org. Generalist inspections are essentially visual, and distinct from
those of specialists, inasmuch as they do not include the use of specialized instruments, the dismantling
of equipment, or the sampling of air and inert materials. Consequently, a generalist inspection and the
subsequent report will not be as comprehensive, or as technically exhaustive, as that generated by
specialists, and it is not intended to be. The purpose of a generalist inspection is to identify significant
material defects or adverse conditions that could result in serious injury or lead to costs that would
significantly affect your evaluation of the property, and to alert you to the need for any secondary
specialist evaluations. Therefore, you should be aware of the limitations of this type of inspection, which
are set forth in the Standards of Practice and which will be described in greater detail therein.
Primarily, we will evaluate conditions, systems, or components to determine if they are functional or not
functional. We will take into consideration when a house was built and allow for the predictable wear or
deterioration that would occur through time, such as the cracks that appear in concrete and in the plaster
around windows and doors, scuffed walls or woodwork, worn or squeaky floors, and stiff or stuck windows.
Therefore, unless they represent a significant safety hazard, we tend to overlook what we may consider to
be insignificant and predictable defects, although some may be included in the report as a courtesy to
you. This is especially true for those conditions that would be apparent to the average person, or to
someone without any construction experience.
Items that are reported as being functional, satisfactory, or responsive to normal user controls were found
to be capable of performing their normal, proper and characteristic action at the time of the inspection.
When they are not reported as such, and we suggest, recommend or advise service, repair, replacement,
correction, improvement, upgrading, monitoring or further evaluation of an item or condition, we have
made what we believe is a reasonable conclusion that the present condition of this item may significantly
effect the value, desirability, habitability or safety of the dwelling, and that consultation with appropriately
qualified specialists is now needed in order to ascertain the true and exact nature of the deficiency and
the cost for improvement, provision, monitoring, repair or replacement of said defective item or
deficiency. When an item or condition is reported as being outside the scope of the inspection, this item
or condition was not inspected but has been deferred for further evaluation by an appropriately qualified
specialist.
It is vitally important that all specialist evaluations and estimates for repair or replacement of all reported
material defects be obtained prior to the close of this transaction and/or within the client's contracted
inspection contingency period in order to avoid any unpleasant surprises after taking legal possession of
the home. Please be aware that in most instances, further evaluations of reported deficiencies by
specialists in any given trade will result in the identification of additional defects or recommendations for
additional upgrades that could effect your evaluation of the property.
For safety reasons, it is strongly recommended that all health and safety upgrades, improvements, and
repairs be made by appropriate specialists prior to occupation of the home.
We do not have the expertise nor the necessary qualifications to inspect for or comment on wood
destroying pests such as termites and beetles, and organisms such as dry rot, fungus or mold. We
therefore recommend that you schedule any such specialized inspection with the appropriate specialists
before the close of this transaction and/or within your contracted inspection contingency period. Please
note that inspecting or testing for mold is not included as a part of our inspection or this report, and that
the inspectors insurance company does not cover any mold-related claims. Although mold, in one form or
another, is everywhere, some types of mold are known be toxic and may present a serious health risk to
some people, especially newborns, infants and those with bronchial conditions or asthma.
The seller may or may not be required to repair or replace any material defects identified within the

report, if any, and that determination should be made among the buyer, the seller, and any real estate
agents, brokers or attorneys involved in the transaction. In any event, this report is not intended to be
used as a guide in renegotiating the sales price of the property, nor is it to be considered an all-inclusive
listing of repairs needed to be made.
This report may not and should not be used in lieu of a sellers disclosure statement (as may be required
by law), as the seller may have knowledge of other undiscovered, latent or historical defects that may
significantly influence or affect the value, habitability, desirability or safety of the property.
This report is not transferable and should not be used or relied upon by any third parties or subsequent
buyers.
We recommend that the Client(s) obtain copies of all building permits, final inspections and certificates of
occupancy from the sellers
