Block construction, brick construction, CMU foundation walls

BLOCK / BRICK CONSTRUCTION: 
Block or brick walls are noted in this structure. There are many factors involved in the proper construction of block and/or brick walls. This inspection cannot ascertain whether reinforcing bars are properly installed or whether block cells are properly filled with concrete. Very little, if any maintenance considerations are necessary with this type construction. If efflorescence, a "whitish" material, is seen on the wall, we could expect a water problem on the opposite side, especially if the wall has earth against it, such as in basement construction. The waterproofing agent used may be breaking down or the wall may be cracked. This inspection cannot ascertain whether water problems exist in this type construction if the problems are not readily visible. You are advised to question the homeowner about water intrusion problems, if any. Contact the inspector for further information regarding this inspection limitation if necessary.

I do not know about you and your life experience but I have seldom found a low price to be the least expensive option. Many times (more than I can count) I have tried to save a few dollars and ended up with my blood boiling with frustration after being given poor advise or worse yet when my phone calls are not returned. Yes, hiring true professionals with full time office staffs costs more, however I have found it to be something worth paying extra for.
