Attorney will charge a fortune.
Tell them a verbal from an "irrigation guy" was not part of your contract. A licensed home inspector IS. If you can't show me a clear report from a licensed home inspector, Deal is off!

If the home inspector returns and sees no issues, you will know with certainty the problem has been fixed. The cost will ONLY be for a second inspection. Attorney fees will be much more.

If the agent refuses, you have the right to call the inspector and have him check the fix. Again, cost will only be for a second inspection.
