Dam, East coast Jerry nailed and I can only add all home inspector's should leave their crystal balls at home and only report what they see at the time they see it and never prophesize what may be the cause or what may happen. In other words all of us in this profession can think ourselves into a law suit quicker by being over anal in the “whys” of what may occur caused by what may be the reason? If there is a mantra about what we do it’s gotta be KISS.
