ASK THE INSPECTOR
Question: We're buying a new retirement condo. Should we get our own inspector or rely on the builder's, or do we even need an inspection? After all, we will have a year to request repairs if anything goes wrong during the warranty period.

ASK THE INSPECTOR
Question: I bought a new house three years ago. The structure has concrete block walls and a slab foundation. I've noticed white mineral deposits on some of the interior walls around the doors and windows, and moisture on some walls when it rains. Recently, the Pergo floors buckled, and some electrical outlets are no longer working. I've notified the builder, but he shows no interest or concern. What should I do? By the way, the builder is also carrying the note on the property. >>
ASK THE INSPECTOR
Question: I purchased a new home and hired a home inspector before closing. But the inspector did not give me a written report. He just reviewed his findings by phone and then sent a bill for $750. When I complained about not receiving a written report, he discounted the fee to $600. This doesn't seem right. What should I do? >>

ASK THE INSPECTOR
Question: I recently purchased a new home with an unconnected water line to the refrigerator. The line is not attached to the water supply beneath the kitchen sink, and the end that is near the refrigerator has been capped. The builder thinks the line was capped because of leakage beneath the slab. He and the plumber both refuse to repair the line, and the bid from another plumber is $275. What should I do? >>
