I had some concerns that Gordon did not address during the inspection, although the area was not completely accessible there were visible signs (outside pipe which froze this winter, and multiple plumbing issues) of potential problems, I would expect a home inspector to find, be able to have a risk assessment, and question things that are odd, like why eaves troth's were removed from back of house (reason: weeping tile is not functioning at the back of the house and previous owners were aware). Also my patio was identified in the report as neutral which means its flat (I had no idea what neutral meant), however closer observation the concrete is sloping towards the house (cracks in concrete identify slop change). After many issues with the home within 3 months of purchase (plumbing, sewage backup, water damage in basement, and many thousand dollars later), I had another home inspector assess my house and he found things not identified in my report. My suggestion to people, follow your instinct if you think something is wrong, insist it be investigated. Home Inspector industry is not regulated and they cannot be held accountable for things they missed. If you need a referral I found an excellent inspector through a trusted source and would be glad to provide his info.
