Accomplished Home Inspections LLC

Hi Mark, I'm sorry to hear about your insurance company response. But there was a negative slope on the property and if we had failed to make note of it in the report then we would be liable and in non compliance with industry standards. We did state that there was no visible problems resulting from at the time of inspection. I would recommend you reach out to some other contractors for estimates to instal a French drain or similar drainage system to shed water away from the structure. Sounds like the one you spoke with was submitting an inflated bid. I know for a fact that a French drain system can be installed in place without having to remove and replace any of the existing pool equipment or sidewalk. I'm sorry for what seems like a bad experience on your behalf but again, if we had failed to report the negative slope then we would have been in non compliance and that may have made for an even worse experience down the road. Please feel free to contact me if there is anything we might be able to help with.
