Home inspectors are not required to find the cause of
problems uncovered during a home inspection. Some home inspectors go above and beyond
the call of duty. This recently installed basement wall at a RI home was damaged by
water. The resourceful inspector reached in with his camera at a section where there
was a hole in the sheetrock and used his camera as a periscope. After a few clicks of
the camera, he found the source of water that caused the damage to the wall. There was
a pipe with a spigot attached to the end of it that had been sheetrocked into the wall.
It was left in the open position and when the house was de-winterized,
the wall filled up with water.
