Major components and current findings

Electrical — Main Panel

Square D · 200 amps · conduit branch circuits · plumbing ground + grounding rod

Conductors improperly sized to breakers
General Repair · E-1 · Fire & Life Safety Risk
Evaluation and correction by a qualified electrician was recommended because conductor and breaker sizing did not match properly.
Plumbing — Water Heater

Bradford White · Natural gas · ~3–5 years estimated · 40 gal

Orphaned water heater
General Repair · P-1 · Fire & Life Safety · Carbon Monoxide Risk
The high-efficiency furnace now vents directly outdoors, leaving the water heater to vent up the chimney alone. The report recommended power venting or an appropriate chimney liner.
Heating — Furnace

Lennox · 2013 · Forced air · ~13 years old

Humidifier leaks / stains
General Repair · H-1
Water leakage and staining were documented at the furnace-mounted humidifier.
Humidifier drain tubing dirty/soiled
Minor Repair · H-2
Replacement was recommended as part of humidifier servicing.
High-efficiency furnace condensate drain leaking
General Repair · H-3
Repair the condensate drain and confirm proper drainage.
Exterior intake/exhaust screening missing
General Repair · H-4
Screening was recommended subject to manufacturer requirements so animals cannot enter or nest.
Air Conditioning — Condenser

Lennox · 2013 · Central air · ~3–3.5 tons estimated · west exterior

Sump

Submersible · acrylic pit · PVC discharge · check valve present · battery backup not present

Home Hub › Improvements & Planning

Projects worth planning

Attic dark surface / moisture-related condition
Major Improvement · A-1
Dark staining on framing/sheathing may be consistent with organic growth associated with elevated moisture conditions. Evaluation of moisture sources and ventilation was recommended.
Increase attic insulation
General Repair · A-3
Insulation levels were reported below current recommended standards; increasing to approximately R-49 was recommended.
Correct negative grading
General Repair · E1-3
Grading slopes toward the house in areas and should be corrected to promote drainage away from the foundation.
HR-001 — Basement dampness reported 10-21-2026
Homeowner Reported · Related to D-003 / D-004 · Causation not established
The homeowner reported dampness after the baseline. The Portal relates the report to existing water-management records while preserving the distinction between homeowner reporting and professional assessment.
