An eight-page sample on the Texas TREC report structure: summary of findings first, then every system with Inspected / Not Inspected / Not Present / Deficient boxes, and each comment with its location and recommended next step.
Demonstration report: the property and findings are illustrative. A genuine Horus sample report will replace it.
How every comment is written
Observation, then why it matters when that helps, then the recommended action and who should do it. Safety items are clearly marked. Maintenance stays short.
The garage door operator did not reverse as intended during the safety test. A door that does not reverse can injure a person or pet in its path. Discontinue automatic operation until a qualified garage-door technician corrects the safety system.
The temperature-and-pressure relief valve lacks a discharge pipe. Without one, a release from the valve can spray scalding water at whoever is nearby. Recommend that a licensed plumber install an appropriate discharge pipe.
Water was present in the auxiliary condensate pan. This pan normally stays dry; water here can indicate a primary condensate drainage or equipment problem. Recommend that a qualified HVAC professional evaluate the system and condensate drainage and correct the source.
The downspout terminates close to the foundation and concentrates roof runoff at the structure. Recommend that a qualified contractor extend or redirect the discharge to a location that drains away from the foundation.
The roof-to-wall termination lacks an effective kick-out flashing detail. Water can be directed behind the exterior cladding. Recommend that a qualified roofing contractor correct the flashing and evaluate adjacent materials if moisture damage is suspected.
The HVAC filter is heavily soiled and restricts airflow. Replace the filter and maintain it at appropriate intervals.
Minor cracking was observed in the wall finish. Based on the visible condition, this appears primarily cosmetic. Repair as desired.
