If what you are saying is correct, I will concede my error. But honestly, I feel like there are totally different services being performed by some home inspectors. I wouldn't pay the fee to do what the guy I saw do as a rubber stamper. But to do what you are describing? I'd do it. Especially after seeing some of the "interesting quality" of new builds out there. But I still think a home inspector would not have caught Polak's sink issue.

Maybe you had a bad experience. The inspector should be in the attic, searching for mold, and doing a bunch of activities that some people just don't know how to do.
