Dear Ms. [redacted]:
We received your concerns about the home inspection performed at [redacted].  
We trust you read the Standard Residential Inspection Agreement you signed prior to the inspection.  The agreement states, “This is...

intended to be a legally binding contract.  Please read it carefully”.  By signing the Standard Residential Inspection Agreement, it states “Client acknowledges having read and understood all the terms, conditions, and limitations of the Agreement and voluntarily agrees to be bound thereby…”.
In the Standard Residential Inspection Agreement, it clearly states that the scope of the real estate inspection to be performed “…is a survey and basic operation of the systems and components of a building, which can be reached, entered, or viewed without difficulty, moving obstructions, or requiring any action, which may result in damage to the property or personal injury to the Inspector. The purpose of the inspection is to provide the Client with information regarding the general condition of the building(s).
The  Standard Residential Inspection Agreement also states that the “Client agrees to read the entire written report when it is received and promptly call Inspector with any questions or concerns regarding the inspection or the written report.”
The  Standard Residential Inspection Agreement also states that the “Client acknowledges that Inspector is a generalist and that further investigation of a reported condition by an appropriate specialist may provide additional information which can affect Client's purchase decision. Client agrees to obtain further evaluation of reported conditions before removing any investigation contingency and prior to the close of the transaction”.
The  Standard Residential Inspection Agreement also states that “…in the event Client becomes aware of a reportable condition which was not reported by Inspector, Client agrees to promptly notify Inspector and allow Inspector and/or Inspector's designated representative(s) to inspect said condition(s) prior to making any repair, alteration, or replacement. Client agrees that any failure to so notify Inspector and allow inspection is a material breach of this Agreement”.
It is also important to remember that The  Standard Residential Inspection Agreement  also states that the “Client agrees what is being contracted for is a building inspection and not an environmental evaluation. The inspection is not intended to detect, identify, or disclose any health or environmental conditions regarding this building or property, including, but not limited to: the presence of asbestos, radon, lead, urea-formaldehyde, fungi, molds, mildew, feces, urine, vermin or pests, PCBs, "Chinese drywall" or other toxic, reactive, combustible, or corrosive contaminants, materials, or substances in the water, air, soil, or building materials. The Inspector is not liable for injury, health risks, or damage caused or contributed to by these conditions.”
Please also remember that The  Standard Residential Inspection Agreement states that “The written report is not a substitute for any transferor’s or agent’s disclosure that may be required by law, or a substitute for Client’s independent duty to reasonably evaluate the property prior to the close of the transaction. This inspection Agreement, the real estate inspection, and the written report do not constitute a home warranty, guarantee, or insurance policy of any kind whatsoever.” 
Sincerely,
