I sure would. But you'll have to examine the contract closely for its terms.

It depends what the deficiencies were and whether they are discoverable.

You should read the inspectors contract, normally they limited the damages by agreement to the amount of money paid for the inspection.

This depends on the terms of the agreement with the inspector and whether the inspector was negligent in not discovering the problem.

Yes, you would have a cause of action, if they were missed and readily visable.
