I have zero reliance in home inspectors. Had to get one for refinancing. Dinged me on railing on my front steps. Misses my 220v flying splice in the basement for the water heater, and that I didn't have the safety discharge line mounted. Lol

I just looked at an old house Monday for a designer / potential clients where the home inspector said the foundation was in good shape during the report prior to them purchasing the house , 15' into the 4' high crawl , the structural engineer and I discovered that the 6" x 4' high foundation wall had no footing , was leaning out of plumb an inch at the top and was broken at mid span along the horizontal axis for about 20' and the crack was open about 3/4" and where that crack ended , the wall was broken right in half vertically for its entire height and the 2 sections were offset by 1/2"

Yep zero recourse against home inspectors and the people that inspect construction sites.

So it's closer to the water than they can build new?
