*** was my home inspector. I have found multiple issues that were not picked up on in my inspection report. Things that should have been picked up on. One is a HUGE issue.

Trying to get in contact with him was very difficult. Only when I reached out to my real estate agent and she made contact with him did he contact me back. This took two months and multiple emails and 2 phone calls, in which he states he didn't receive. Most being emails as I was trying to keep a paper trail. I have all contact saved. His responses were minimal and he told me he would contact me when he came back from vacation May 5th. He never did contact me and I again tried multiple times to get in contact with him, again he said the emails weren't coming through. He was unresponsive until I did contact my real estate agent. I heard from him the beginning of June. I had no issues with reaching him since over text messages, however the dispute has not been dealt with.

After much convincing he came to the house to view the issues. He stated his insurance would cover them. I gathered my quotes and contacted insurance and ALL claims were denied coverage, which they stated he would have known before referring me to them.

This is my first home, and I would have 100 percent have NOT bought this house if I knew the issues. Now I am in way over my head with issues I cannot afford to fix and a home I may not be able to resell. My goal was to buy a home close to my family as I have a child on the way. Now I am nothing more then stressed. The two biggest and most concerning issues is my foundation and exterior boards around my home.

Issue 1: This is the biggest issue. The concrete around the exterior of the house should have been included in the inspection as there are many places that the concrete is crumbling. I have since had 3 companies come look at the property. The minimum quote I received was $15,000 to fix SOME of the issue. To have the foundation completely fixed I was quoted at $70,000. All contractors believed the foundation may be structurally unsafe and that an engineer should be in to look at it. I cannot afford to higher an engineer.

Issue 2: Hardwood floor by the front door is rotted and covered in with concrete. This was not on the inspection list.

Issue 3: There is a hole in the wall where the exterior lower boards near the porch door are completely rotten on the bottom. I touched the board and my finger went through it. The whole thing crumbled it was so rotten. I could feel the insulation on the inside. He listed this as mild deterioration. All companies said it was severe and that all my exterior boards were rotted through and had to be replaced. This is part of why the foundation quote is so high to completely fix it, as all boards would have to be placed first so that they don’t crumble from being rotted when they lift the home.

Issue 4: I found mold in the door frame which was quite noticeable.

These are all things that should NOT have been missed. All contractors stated this as well and all are willing to put this in writing if needed. These were completely visible issues. I am so disappointed in the service I was provided.
