Comment on Know the Hidden Dangers in Hot Tubs by James Bayly

It is really a mind blowing report to go through. We know that the bacteria of the legionnaires disease do grow in stagnant or warm water but it is really beyond imagination that we can find this bacteria in a warm bath tub. The best part of this article is the protective measure mentioned in it and we must do regular water quality testing.

Comment on Never Skimp on the Home Inspection by Scott Seaton

While I agree there are sometimes cases where a previous inspection report can be viewed, it should never take the place of a buyer’s own inspection being performed. The older report can be a guide as to some previous issues and these can be inspected as to the quality of the repairs, if any, that were performed. Expectations to the buyer are critical in the entire inspection process.

I find it interesting that most of the comments are “don’t blame the home inspector.”
The truth is we don’t have enough information to know if the inspector made a mistake or not. With $45,000 in damage, I am guessing there were signs that the inspector should or could have picked up on. You do not get that much mold without a moisture source.

True, the buyer should have hired her own inspector and they may have offered thermal imaging or mold testing, and the inspector could have used that to locate an issue, but they just as easily could have seen damage. The story says the damage was in the den and in a hall, so these are likely interior walls. Did the inspector check the standing water pressure to look for leaks, did they check the walls by the toilets and showers, did they look in the attic?

The truth is we, as home inspectors, tend to get a little overly defensive when someone points out something. I prefer to spend a little more time on the inspection and a lot less time defending myself.

I have been an expert on home inspection cases for both the plaintiff and the defense. It has been my experience that the inspector needs to set the expectations right up front do the best job they can and if they are not able to inspect something they should, they need to explain why and tell the client what they should do about it.

Of course, all of this does not matter in this case as the buyer choose to rely on a previous report instead of having her own.

Comment on Never Skimp on the Home Inspection by Long Island Home Inspection

I aggree with David. Being a home inspector. There is invasive and non-invasive inspections. We inspect many aspects but usually we don’t tare walls down unless we have permission or we are doing an inspection where the buyer wants us to look over the structure.

Home inspections are great to find leaks and structural problems. I just did an inspection where there was a 30 foot retaining wall that was about to collapse. I advised the home buyer of the problem and referred a structural engineer to them. To me the price of the home they wanted to purchase would not be worth it when they would have to repair that wall. We found other problems as well. The buyer was very relieved. Even though no mold we uncovered enough to help them not get stuck in a money pit.
