In short, the inspector could not fit through a crawlspace constriction that just beyond it had a bad water leak in a PEX pipe and mold. This damage was not hidden; it was readily visible while crawling through the area. The discovery was incidental, not even part of the planned work. While I'm fortunate the repairs were within my contractor's capability, the incident has caused considerable disruption, delaying our move-in indefinitely and incurring unexpected costs. I understand that not every issue can be found, especially with legitimate access limitations. However, when an inspector claims a space is inaccessible yet it's easily navigable by an average person, it points to a critical failure in the inspection process. I believe a more diligent inspection would have uncovered this problem, and as a result, I cannot recommend this company. The significant oversight has caused a lot of stress and financial burden. update: As I've lived in the home for a little while now, I have found more issues that were not documented in my inspection. While this company is dismissing my leak/mold concern as being in an area they were not able to inspect, there are other misses I wanted to update the review with: 1. Deck missing ALL handrail fasteners, like 150 of them! Deck was unsafe and should not have passed inspection in that state! 2. Fireplace refractory panels severely damaged and in need of replacement 3. Multiple gutter issues with incorrect pitch or missing flashing 4. Another deck that is missing additional reinforcing fasteners, including a bolt that was sheared. In this case, at least it's a simple fix but should have been caught in a visual inspection. 5. Roof line missing drip edge flashing. This could rot the roof in a few years, and I need to make an urgent repair. 6. Roof vents have degraded sealant on rubber boots. This should have been visible even from a ladder (not walking the roof). These were all apparent upon visual inspection and should be issues existing at time of inspection. While nothing on this list is a deal-breaker in and of itself, the cumulative list of issues I've spent the past months working through and discovering more of is tiring. I have missed out on many thousands in seller concessions in addition to my personal time trying to fix these problems myself, or hiring contractors when it's out of my league.

Inspection on 1/27/25 in Talent, $475 for our 1030 square foot home…read more *3 different contractors have been appalled at what Trevor missed in his inspection, including a hazmat company we had to contact to sanitize the home and garage. They said they couldn't believe this wasn't noted and handled before closing. It's ok to hold an inspector accountable for their oversight, we are not bad people for having to report this, we are the ones left in the unfortunate position of having to have moved our family out of an un-live able house because Trevor did not inform us about any of the issues below, despite his claims or years of experience, people can still make mistakes, and he is continually avoiding accountability. Despite claiming excellent customer service, he has made no attempt to make things right. We did have the recommended contractors come out and look at the house and they also failed to inform us of the most prevalent issue, which was the extensive hazardous rodent debris, which is also why we had to review those companies. Because this was a serious oversight by so many professionals and we as the now owners are bearing the responsibility and burden of these oversights. We have to report them. It's not our fault that they happen to be negative reviews. We are not to blame here.* We are just now able to write this review and we certainly do not enjoy having to do this. All of these issues were visible to the naked eye without invasive techniques, before any work was started on the home, and the home was completely vacant for his inspection. When we reached out via email to find a generative solution this was his response: "It is unfortunate for my business that these situations can lead to lost trust between me and the Realtors I work with. As you know, complaints from clients, even with the best of intentions, are never positive for the relationship." 1. No mention that the attic above the kitchen and laundry room was completely blocked off, which means there is a 25' section of the attic that he did not inspect and there is no way to service the ducting, electrical, or see if there are leaks/animal activity in there like the rest of the attic. 2. Extensive rodent feces, dead birds/feathers, and construction debris left in the attic, none of which were mentioned in his report and all of which need to be cleaned out and sterilized before the home is livable. His email response: "It is common for construction debris to be inside attics... the contractor typically does not clean up in the attic. There were some rodent droppings." It is still his job to report on it - including the rodent feces. He reported rodent activity in the crawlspace, and by omitting it from the attic AND garage he made it appear as if they were not present. Either report on all of it, or clearly communicate you will not be reporting on any of it. 3. Structurally concerning, the ceiling joists are incorrectly installed, with no structural overlap and no load bearing wall to support them - this is causing the living room ceiling to sag. Trevor's response to this: "Joists are almost always spliced above a bearing wall which is acceptable building practices." Except ours are not above a load bearing wall, so he is validating what our issue is and why the ceiling is sagging. 4. Missed a rotten spongy section of siding off the patio (2'x4', visible to the naked eye and requiring no invasive techniques) indicating termite issues in the siding. 5. The garage loft was full of rodent feces and debris/trash left by the previous owners, which was also not mentioned by Trevor or in the report. 6. We tried to give him the benefit of the doubt where we could, like how the ducting/insulation made it difficult to inspect the whole crawlspace etc. He missed so many more issues in the home as well that we are not nitpicking. When you pay an inspector, you expect to have these issues brought to light; like the broken bathroom door, walls being out of plumb, a previously patched and sagging section of ceiling over a bedroom, it goes on. We understand we are all human and people make mistakes, but it speaks volumes how you show up to those mistakes. After his initial correspondence we had our realtors request a refund for the inspection, which he did on March 27, but not of his own offering. He made no effort to make things right on his own, which has left us unable to move in to the home and requiring us to spend a lot more time and money fixing these problems that could have been avoided if Trevor had done a thorough report of his inspection.
