'm a seller of a property that just went under contract. During the inspection, the inspector: 1) broke a small part of the house alarm - magnetic strip to back door 2) tripped a GFI circuit and can't locate the outlet box to reset It is guessed that the outlet box that needs to be reset is behind drywall in the basement. The drywall in the basement was installed by a previous owner and was, to our knowledge, done to code. What do I do? They, the inspector, did not know they tripped the circuit and did not put the issue in the inspection report. We've been the owners for over 6 years and have done numerous remodeling projects - all to code and all permitted- without any issues. Is the inspector at fault here and who is responsible for fixing the issue?
