A Material Defect is defined as follows: "A problem with a residential real property or any portion of it that would have a significant adverse impact on the value of the property or that involves an unreasonable risk to people on the property. The fact that a structural element, system or subsystem is near, at or beyond the end of its normal useful life is not, by itself, a Material Defect."

5. Further Evaluation. If the person conducting your home inspection is not a licensed structural engineer or other qualified specialist whose license authorizes the rendering of an opinion as to the structural integrity of a building or its other component parts, you may be advised to seek a professional opinion as to any defects or concerns found in this report.
