I just don't want to create problems that I have to clean up later or worse that my clients have to clean up. Granted, I told them that x,y and z was wrong and not permitted, etc. but I figure if I inform my client, my job is done and to do more than that may breach their confidence and the ethical confidentiality.
Not to mention that your are not allowed to do so without your clients permission...

§535.220Real Estate InspectorsADOPTED 08/28/2006Section 535.220 as adopted prohibits an inspector from disclosing inspection results or client information without prior approval from the client, except for observed immediate safety hazards to occupants exposed to such hazards.Professional Conduct and Ethics (7) Inspectors shall not disclose inspection results or client information without prior approval from the client. Inspectors, at their discretion, may disclose observed immediate safety hazards to occupants exposed to such hazards when feasible.
