Home Inspectors, Stand Your Ground

Don't let anyone tell you how to do your job, especially when it comes to water issues. Deferred maintenance that allows water intrusion into or around a window assembly or a wall
assembly causes bad things to happen. So if you're ever asked or told or even threatened to maybe dismiss or ignore what might even appear to be a minor issue, I'd say stand your ground.
I'll show you an extreme example here of what I'm talking about. So let's take this house here and this window area is what I want to show you. On the outside the counter flashing is completely failed. The sealant has failed. We have pitted sealants, gaps in the sealants, unsealed frames.
We have cracks in the mortar. There's even holes from old shutter installations. Missing kick out flashing and cracks in the mortar and if you look close you can even see previous repairs. So on the interior way of stains, stains and stains. Now watch this as we come inside. You see the stains. Now check out this whole window frame. The entire frame is loose in the opening. It's no longer secured like it was originally. So place this home in an HVHC zone and the cost of remedy or repair only go up. So if it is a minor issue, well cracks can be filled and painted but concealed damages can't. So whether you're right or wrong because of social media, somebody's going to pay for
this.
So with training and following globally recognized standards on how to inspect, you will have
psychological safety. I say, stand your ground. Don't let this happen to you.
