(68,456 posts)and they were worthless...my son's house had the living room floor about to collapse as the idiot owner cut the joists when putting a ceiling up in the basement. His clean-out for the sewer was under his house just stuck in the dirt and there was no foundation under that part of the House...it cost him well over 10,000 for the repairs on the house.
The so-called inspector picked up none of this stuff. Our family friend whom I renovate houses with for years now took a trip to where my son lived and found the issues in about a minute and a half...and there is no way redress with a bad inspection either. I would not waste my time as a I said before...I could go on...so many times this happened to people I know and to family members. My family now doesn't bother with so-called inspections.
