Following is an example of an inspection finding: "Fans in the bathroom are not vented properly. The attic may develop moisture/mold problems as a result of the improper venting in the bathroom. Fans should be vented to outside of the home." Is this an appropriate description to include in the inspection report?
  1. No, it is too complicated for the client to understand.
  2. No, it does not include the name of a technician who can make the repair.
  3. Yes, it is an expected finding in the bathroom.
  4. Yes, it covers the major requirements of a finding.
Explanation
Answer: D - This is an appropriate description to include in the inspection report because it covers the major requirements of a finding. It identifies the deficiency, describes the potential hazards of the deficiency, and recommends corrective action. It is not sufficient only to identify the problem or recommend something be repaired. The client needs to understand why you are recommending a component or system for repair or replacement.
