Contractor to inspect damage from termites (pre-2004)???
hi, in the process of selling a home that I've owned and resided in > rented > resided in since 2004 due to changes in work locations. Home is under contract and inspection was without major issues. Termite inspection was Wed and I was told by inspector the problem had been treated correctly with no sign of re-occurrence (pre-2004 issue). Received the report yesterday from my realtor along with an email that I now have to hire an inspector to assess the damage noted in the report and specifically in a graph/map of basement. The inspector must provide a letter saying there is no structural damage that requires repair. this sounds a bit out of whack to me. Shouldn't the home inspector have stated any structural damage? in any case, anyone have recommendations for a contractor who can do this quick inspection without charging a fortune? any thoughts would me very much appreciated. thank you!
