All home inspectors in oregon have to have a contractors license, liability insurance, bond, and pass the tests. We have to have 30 hrs continuing ed hours every 2 years.

I dont think the idea of the health dept is a good idea because I did not see anything I just smelled it and make my recommendations. The sellers agent sent me a picture of the crawlspace and it is nasty with black standing water that I would not enter the space even if I could walk into it.

I will try to resize the picture so I can post it.
