Default the roof is leaking in my new house, who's responsible? the inspector?

You may have stopped the leaking, but I am not so sure that the
problem is solved. That water had to go somewhere. It is very
possible that it went down between the walls. This could lead
to the insulation and/or wallboard being wet. No only would
that cause extra heat loss, it could harbor a big colony of
mold. I think you need to trace the path where the water
went, and have the walls opened up for inspection. If there
is indeed inside water damage, that needs to be fixed. A
mold problem could easily lead to serious health problems,
especially if you have children.


Thanks john, I never thought that kind of further problem.
The wet part is getting dried now, but I'll keep your advice in mind
and try to tack
where the water went.. and probably get a fan running.. I hope this
will help...
If I find something serious.. like a sign of the big colony of mold.. I
guess I have to call an inspector.
I hope it won't happen.
