Maine Home Inspection

"This home inspection was conducted in a professional manner, during the inspection we discovered many significant deficiencies which were reported as a home inspector, I am not perfect and I don’t have a crystal ball but I certainly gave my best effort to find all problems. After performing an inspection, the home inspectors duty is not to pay to repair any item/every item that was not visible or not found. This type of insurance policy would come with a far greater cost. I do take responsibility for my home inspection. I believe that without more accurate & full knowledge of the details of the home inspection it may be irresponsible to report that my company does poor work. I do dispute that no mention was made of improper window concerns or defects. A major point of the inspection report was that excessively high moisture levels were found around multiple windows (with a moisture meter). The highest levels were found on the East & North sides (of which the kitchen window is present). I recommended she seek an immediate estimate for repair from a qualified contractor. As to the glazing failure on 1 bedroom window sash, this can be difficult to diagnose under certain weather conditions because the level of haze & condensation is variable & the appearance may chang. The “major” leak for a laundry valve should certainly be a simple repair & may have been aggrevated & caused by equipment change. Also during the inspections as you can view from photos of the inspection the basement was very wet. A significant basement wetness issue was discussed. This may have made it more difficult to discern a leak near the laundry valve if it were active."
