hoosier inspector Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 This has not happened to me, but I was curious as to how any of you would respond to this situation. During the inspection the seller, or anyone for that matter, repairs the deficiencies. (Let's assume properly) Would you report the non-existent issue?

John Dirks Jr Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 If the issue could be verified as resolved before I left the site, I would not waste time writing it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inspector57 Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 That is a big question with lots of shades depending on what was done, etc. If the seller hooks up gauges and recharges the a/c system so that it is "working as intended" obviously it gets reported. But lots of times I will tighten a loose screw, make a slight adjustment to a door knob or such rather than take the time to report it. In general if there is still a problem, it goes in the report. If not then there is nothing to report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the fixer fixes it to my satisfaction by the end of the inspection, I wipe the comment from the report. If he doesn't, I don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Kogel Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 I had a CLIENT replace the water heater during the inspection... 'strange'... One of my comments to my client, Mr. Handy, as he's going thru my toolbag is "First you buy it, then you can fix it". A couple of loose screws, no problem.
