[Boomer]

If I were you, I would just fix the problem and move on.

Mr. Boomer always accompanies the inspector when we buy a house, so he can ask questions along the way.

But we have owned 10 houses and Mr. Boomer is a handy guy with a lot of experience with houses and their varying issues, so he is inspecting along with the official inspector we hire.

We tend to take real estate deal inspections with a grain of salt. I have never known an inspector to skew a deal. Real estate agents keep them in business. Those inspection reports can be interesting, but they always have so many outs written in.

I would not go down the litigation road. As aggravating as this is, it sounds like it can be fixed and you can just go forward without bogging down in legal issues and more expense. (I would never recommend your inspector or agent to anybody else though. Sounds lax to me.)

I cannot tell you who can fix it, like you asked, but I hope somebody here can help you with that.
