Inspection found previous water damage - now what ?
Hi everyone,
I am in the process of closing on a property from a reputable turnkey provider.
Home inspection has identified standing water damage to hard wood floors (which were not replaced during renovation). The damaged areas is along the walls , in the corner of one of the rooms , where there are 2 windows on each wall. Some minor repair was performed, per the report the floor is solid and there is no mold found in the house... The damage was visible as cosmetically the repair is not blended in to the rest of the floors.
What assurance should I ask from the seller to ensure that the root cause of the standing water damage is taken care of ?
Any suggestion/guidance is appreciated...
Thank you
