The Inspector Jeremy completed a "very thorough" inspection within 45 minutes of my parents house,…read morethen after claiming that the inspection was over and that it all looked good and after the buyers and the buyers realtor had left the premise he took it upon himself to enter the premises ALONE to "make sure the doors were closed and the lights were off" during this time he claimed to hear a hissing and found what was described as a small leak in my parents bathroom. He shut off the valve to the bathroom sink and the placed a call to the buyers to notify them who claims to have asked Jeremy to shut off the main valve but he decided that would have been "overkill" so he then decided to leave the premises to go and purchase a shop vac to apparently clean up this minor leak however while he was gone because he decided it was over kill to turn off the main water valve to the house which was in the pantry of our kitchen very easy to access, another sink line broke and proceeded to flood our house including the brand new carpet that was less than a month old. Jeremy then tried to pressure us into replacing every single piping line in the house because as he stated "they looked the same" So even though it was overkill to turn off the main water valve, he recommended us replace all the plumbing throughout the rest of the house cause they also could leak. Had Jeremy shut off the main water valve as requested the leak would have been minor and not ruined months worth of painting and trimming and laying new carpet. But as Jeremy stated turning off that one extra valve in the kitchen would have been "overkill" No what is overkill is having to tear out brand new carpet, all of your freshly painted trim and paying over 800$ to a water mitigation company because the inspection refused to work with my parents in any way. What is not overkill though is turning one valve inside the house to turn off the main water source. However after all of this is said and done my parents are forced to go to their insurance company who then goes to the inspectors insurance to find out that the entire story has shifted. You see Jeremy now claims that he was actually still doing the inspection and taking thermal readings inside the house when he heard the hissing. This company is unprofessional and irresponsible and no one from this company will ever inspect any personal property in the future whether buying or selling. Nor would I recommend them to any friends or family.
