Comments and risk analysis
Ground: When the ground slopes towards the building, there is a risk that surface water can enter the
foundation structure and cause damage that negatively affects the building.
We know from experience that there can be problems with stormwater pipes and the drainage system when there
are plants next to the building. You can also get a high moisture status in the structure of the facade as plants
prevent the sun from heating the facade so that dehydration can occur, this can ultimately give rise to damage that
affects the building and the indoor environment negatively.
Plinth: The cracks in the plinth increase the risk of freezing and cracking and the risk of leakage.
When there are leaks between the finishing strip and the Platon mat, there is a risk of soil and stones ending up
behind the Platon mat, resulting in impaired function. Moisture-related damage can then occur in the basic structure.
Facade: When there are deficiencies in the maintenance of facade panels/carpentry, there is a risk of damage to the
organic material, which can negatively affect the building and the indoor environment.
Windows/Doors: When there are deficiencies in the painting/maintenance of windows/doors, there is a risk of
damage to the organic material which can have a negative impact on the building and the indoor environment.
Downpipes/Gutters: When water from downpipes/gutters is not drained away but allowed to run off adjacent to the
building, there is a risk of increasing the amount of moisture in the wall, roof and foundation structure which can then
cause damage to the building.
Roof: As the roofing is of an older standard and there is paint loss/rust in sheet metal details, the roof has a
reduced resistance to water penetration. This in turn can lead to moisture damage to the roof structure, which
can adversely affect the building and its indoor climate.
The moss binds moisture, which can affect the roof negatively. If there is moss on the roof for a long time, it
cannot be excluded that there will be damage to the roof, which in turn affects the underlying material and
causes damage that affects the building negatively.
Attic: Moisture stains occur in the sub-roof, these moisture stains were dry at the time of inspection. It is
recommended that these are monitored and if the moisture spots increase in size or other changes occur,
contact should be made with a professional for the necessary measures.
When there are gaps in sealing between a cold and a warm space, there is a risk that relatively warm and humid
air will escape from the warm space to the adjacent cold space and hit a cold surface and condense. Microbial
growth/discoloration on the external roof structure is an indication that the indoor air has escaped into the attic,
creating a favorable climate for microbial growth. It may be an indication that ventilation is or has been periodically
inadequate. If this is allowed to continue, there is a risk of moisture-related damage to structures made of organic
material, which will ultimately have a negative impact on the building and the indoor environment.
Wet rooms: In wet rooms, floor and wall surfaces should have waterproofing layers. When it is missing, is of an
older model/standard or if there are faults/shortcomings in its function, there is a risk of moisture-related damage to
surrounding structures, which can adversely affect the building and its indoor climate. Damage to surrounding
structures cannot be excluded.
Kitchen: When there is no moisture protection under sink cabinets/glassware, there is a risk of damage
related to leakage, it may take time to detect leakage/damage. These damages affect the building
negatively.
Basement: An older basement of this type is usually more or less exposed to permanent moisture from the
adjacent soil. Based on experience, it is known that constructions and coatings/coverings with organic materials
against floor and wall surfaces should be avoided, as moisture impact and microbial growth (mold/bacteria) and
decay can occur in such. The exterior moisture protection is also older. It cannot be ruled out that deficiencies
exist or will occur in the external moisture protection, which means that the basement's external moisture
protection may need to be addressed. See also appendix control of construction.

Annex 1 for checking selected designs
Construction
Commentary
The critical limit for *microbial growth in wood is about 17% moisture content.
In the basement there are floor/wall constructions of organic material. Test holes were made in an exterior wall
under the interior staircase and where the moisture content was measured at over 28% in a wooden tile and an
unusual odor was experienced in test holes. Sample holes were taken in a lined outer wall in the hobby room and
where the moisture content was measured at 28% in a wooden brick (*=Collective name for several
microorganisms such as bacteria, mold and the like).
Summary
During a random inspection of the structure, the moisture content was measured at 28%, which is above the
critical limit value for microbial growth, and an unusual odor was experienced. In order to investigate the
cause/scope and appropriate measures, it is recommended that contact be made with a specialist to carry out
an in-depth investigation.

General conditions
2. Risk analysis
The surveyor gives an opinion on the condition of the building based on his observations and his own and generally known experience of the specific
risks associated with comparable buildings.
Visible moisture stains, deflections or other signs may affect the assessment. General knowledge of the area or specific knowledge of certain
building technology can also influence the assessment.
It is important to note that the risk analysis cannot include oral information that the surveyor has not received. In the inspection report, the inspector
presents his assessment. If a structure or building component cannot be safely assessed during the inspection, the inspector can choose between
preparing a risk analysis or recommending further technical investigation.
4. Exception
Inspection of existing mechanical equipment, heating systems, fireplaces, electricity, plumbing and flues are not included in the assignment.
Investigation involving intervention, measurement, test pressure, etc. is not included in the inspection assignment except for some moisture
measurement in so-called risk structures. Within the framework of this assignment, proposals for remedying defects are not provided. Damage or
inconvenience caused by pets is not included in this assignment.
5. Limitations of liability
The inspection body shall be liable, subject to the limitations set out below, for any damage caused by its negligence or default in the performance of
the contract.
The surveyor's total liability for a single assignment is limited to 15 basic amounts.
The surveyor does not compensate for damage up to half a basic amount. Claims against the surveyor shall be notified to him within a reasonable time
after the damage has been noticed or should have been noticed (complaint). However, claims may not be made later than two years after the
completion of the contract. If a complaint is not made within the periods specified in this paragraph, the injured party loses the right to invoke the
damage. In addition to what is stated in the limitation of liability, the inspection company has no liability due to the assignment and its execution. The
inspection company has taken out consultant liability insurance for this type of assignment.
It is always the responsibility of the injured party, in the event of damage, to limit the damage and its consequences. Damage or its consequences due
to negligence are not covered.
When calculating any amount of damage, the amount is reduced in all cases for age and normal wear and tear, a so-called age
deduction. The undersigned client has read the scope and general conditions of the inspection.

Annex to the inspection report with explanations of the assessment method for the handover inspection.
Assessment criteria
OBM Gruppen has chosen to present the inspection result in columns where the steps, "without remark", "remark" and "should be rectified" are the
variants that occur. This system is used to ensure that the reader of the report understands the importance of the remark. However, a remark under the
remarks column can mean different things depending on what was remarked. Often there is a comment, risk analysis or similar that complements the
remark at the bottom of page 3 under the heading "comment/risk analysis". It is therefore very important that the text under "comment/risk analysis" is
read very carefully as this is where the inspector often develops his assessments. It is also important to realize that the surveyor must decide whether
any defects that occur can be considered normal or not given the age and condition of the house. The fourth column is used to inform the client that
the space or building element was not available for inspection at the time of the inspection.
General information
What is moisture?
Moisture is a natural part of our environment and vital to us all. However, moisture can sometimes cause problems in our homes and buildings. In our
houses, moisture is constantly migrating from both inside and outside. From the inside through the users from e.g. cooking, showering, etc. and from
the outside through e.g. rainwater, snow, surface water, moisture from the ground, etc. In some cases, these moisture migrations cause damage to
moisture-sensitive materials and create secondary damage such as microbial damage, chemical emissions or e.g. shape changes but also aesthetic
damage.
Radon in air
Radon is a gas produced when radioactive material decays. Radon is a volatile gas with no odor or other characteristic we normally experience.
The National Board of Health and Welfare has issued guidelines with the aim of ensuring that all homes have a radon gas level of less than 200 Bq/m3
by 2020. During inspections, our inspectors therefore generally state that the presence of radon should be checked unless a measurement protocol is
available. This is
does not always mean that measurements need to be taken, but that contact with the municipality's environmental administration can
provide guidance on this issue. Radon can originate both from building materials and from the soil layers under the building.
Radon in water
Some houses have their own well for drinking water or take water from a shared water well. Radon levels in water should not exceed 1000 Bq/l of
water.
Water quality
Water taken from your own wells or shared wells should be checked at regular intervals to ensure that the water quality is satisfactory. Consult the
municipality's environmental department for guidance.
Energy declaration
According to a new law, after January 1, 2009, villas for sale must be energy declared. Villas that are energy declared must then always have an energy
declaration that is not older than 10 years when sold.
Newly constructed buildings must have a declaration upon completion.
Sewage system
The inspection does not cover private or communal sewage systems. Consult the municipality's environmental department for guidance on the sewage
system of the property in question.
Testing of flues
The inspection does not include examination of flues and their tightness etc. Our general approach is to contact the chimney sweep if the masonry
chimney stack has not been inspected in the last 5-6 years. Fireplaces that are not in use are normally automatically banned.
2. Older brick or concrete roof tiles and old roofing felt on roofs
There is a significant risk of moisture penetration through old roof tiles. The reason for this is that the roof tiles become damp, causing damage to the
battens and underlay board and any underlying structure. Over the years, roof tiles get frost cracks, which means an increased risk of leakage. Older
underlying roofing felt also lacks the ability to function satisfactorily because the waterproofing layer has dried out and water can leak through and
damage underlying structures.
Moss growth and small overlap on the roof tiles, small roof pitch and exposed location also increase the risk.
The normal maintenance interval for underlay and roof tiles is about 30-40 years.
Facades
5. Single-storey facades
Newer houses with so-called thin plaster where the plaster sits directly on the wall insulation board are called single-stage facades.
These external walls have no ventilation gap in the wall structures and there is a risk of moisture penetration into the wall. The damage to the
walls often remains invisible both internally and externally at the initial stage.
A technical examination of such a facade involves relatively extensive drilling.
Cellars
6. Basement walls
If the external damp-proofing of the basement exterior walls consists of tarring, this has a limited lifespan (often about 15-25 years). This means
that, in many cases, external measures should be seen as natural and necessary after this period of time. If the external waterproofing loses its
tightness, it can cause damage to the inside of the outer walls, see also interlocking walls below.
Floor structures
O21931 - Kvisljungeby 3:94 Page 9 (of 12) Last modified: 2023-05-22 16:20
Torpedo foundations and crawl spaces
11. Windows
Windows with insulation cassettes and 3 glass windows can lose their tightness over time and cause discoloration between the window panes.
This is mainly a damage of an aesthetic nature as the window's insulation capacity is only marginally affected. Windows of the current type are
generally considered to have a lifespan of about 25-30 years, although newer window types are considered to have a longer lifespan than the older
ones from the late 1970s and early 1980s.
Double-glazed windows and windows with wooden frames are considered to have a similar technical lifetime (25-30 years) as the above-mentioned
window types, even if the damage is instead caused by moisture and rot.
