The SE at first only gave a verbal report of his findings. After some gentle nudging of the client to insist on written findings the SE finally gave in and submitted a written report. I went back into the crawl after the report was finally written and documented the condition of the foundation with over 100 pictures. I told the client to hang on to these, along with my report, the report of the previous inspection (2 years old, showed no signs of problems with foundation, well at least on the two pics that did show the foundation), and the SE's report.
I've done all that I can. Right now I have a client who is unhappy with me for the recommendation to have SE examine. I will do the same thing next time I run across this, because I still feel that there is a problem.
