No! I'd inspect the place now before they "repair" the leak. You need to understand why the leak occurred exactly and whether their actions correctly addressed the problem. You can't figure that out when they've made everything nice again. I'd try and be there as they rip stuff out to replace. They might just filler and sand stuff without addressing the root cause.

I helped a friend on a house in a similar situation last year - water was hitting the patio slab and draining towards the house and into the finished basement. They were just about to waive the inspection - thankfully they bailed. Fixing that drainage problem would have been quite expensive to do.
