A summary reviews moisture, sealants, flashing, penetrations, cracks and other exterior conditions, with comments directing readers to specific concerns.
Photographs document observed details and meter readings. Annotated front, right, rear and left elevations help locate the findings.
Written observations explain where repairs or additional investigation were recommended, along with inspection access limitations.
These are actual photographs extracted from the supplied sample report. They illustrate conditions observed during the November 2010 inspection; they do not describe the property's current condition.
A close-up from page 6 documents a moisture-meter reading during the inspection.
The summary identifies elevated moisture readings in several areas and soft substrate at the rear wall, deck and side stoop. The report recommends further investigation and repairs at affected locations.

The deck-to-wall connection photographed on page 7.
The report describes an improper deck connection and limited access for moisture readings below the deck. It recommends repair and appropriate flashing to address moisture entry.

The rear-elevation photograph on page 19 includes location-specific notes and readings.
Elevation photographs connect written findings to the areas inspected, including a note that deck flashing was not installed. Readings and notes describe conditions at the time of this inspection.
See the report, page 19This report is dated November 21, 2010. It is provided to illustrate inspection documentation, photographs and reporting. Credentials, technical guidance and repair recommendations in the PDF reflect the original report and should not be treated as current specifications for another property.
The inspection used visual observations and moisture meters within the access and scope described in the report. It was not an exhaustive assessment of every area of the cladding, and the report is not a contractor bid document or repair work order.
The PDF references separate addenda and maintenance information that are not included in this sample download. The original report states that those materials form part of the complete report. This file should therefore be reviewed as a sample of the main report, rather than a complete project package.
