30 days is what my contract reads.

Re: liability
If your state requires a license the liability period may be longer. Check with your state licensing board and if home inspectors are licensed in your state you should find some good information there.

Re: liability
Agree. Here in Indiana the home inspector can be liable for up to 2 years after the day of the home inspection. Check with the contract and if there is a state law.
Note: State law wins over what is written in a contract. So if the law says 1 or 2 years, even if the contract is written for a 60 day liability, the courts are likely to go with the 1 or 2 years. If you are a person that had a home inspection (I'm assuming you are), I would talk to your home inspector first before looking at taking any legal action. If you're a home inspector, don't ignore your client. I personally feel that once the lawyers get involved, it's a lose/lose situation for everyone but the lawyers.

Thanks for the question Unregistered Guest That actual question is painted with a very broad brush!!! If you are a home inspector then you should probably know this by now. So narrow the gap a bit! Are you talking about complete failure of something, everything, or you have not found anything yet but are looking? Last edited by rstufflebeem; 3/19/09 at 8:46 AM..
