12-page report · prepared for Sam
Every home has a list. Most of these are routine.
Tap High, Moderate or Low to see just those items.
This is a well-kept home with mostly routine upkeep items. The main priorities are lowering the radon level, adding a safety pipe to the water heater, fixing a doubled-up breaker, and adding a carbon monoxide detector upstairs. The furnace and AC are older and due for service, so it’s worth budgeting for them.
This summary explains it in plain English. Every item below links to its exact page, so you can see the inspector’s own words and photos.

The 48-hour radon test averaged 5.2, above the 4.0 level where the EPA recommends a fix. This is common and very fixable.
