Once the house is repaired, do you get it re-inspected?

[Andrew P.]

Closing on my first home a a couple weeks!

So here's the deal...I got the home inspected, and it's in good shape.  A few things came up though

1)  Front Porch was separating (not the foundation)

2)  Rear Left Gutter/down spout disconnected

3)  Hot Water tanks connections have corrosion (they're replacing the whole unit)

4)  Rear back deck is missing a "board"

5)  Inside the crawl space, evidence of water intrusion

6)  Inside the crawl space, under Master Bath a PVC has a slow leak

The seller is covering everything above.  The question is, should I pay another $275 to get the home re-inspected?  I think I can tell for the most part if everything was taken care of properly.  #5 & #6 worry me a little though.

I wouldn't.  But then, I never hire an inspector.  Looks like the water heater repair covered your cost of the inspection.  You should have reserves for paying for future repairs that will come up.  If you do have it reinspected, I would recommend hiring a different inspector, who will see different things.
