Did you have permission to inspedt what you seem to admit you didn't have the ense to do right? Yes;you danged the house because of your neglect to hire a inspector that would have know the danger. Poor excuse in your slaim really.

After reading this post, it gives me flashbacks to when I was a seller. Gosh, I do not miss that.

OP pay for the damage.

The Arizona contract states that any damage caused by buyer or buyers inspectors will be repaired by the buyer.

There seems to be a growing tendency to hold others to blame for personal decisions.

I hadn't posted on this thread, because I generally agreed with most of the responses, but then I had a thought.

The walk through is before closing. Isn't the problem, whose insurance is in force at the point that the damage occurred?

It's absolutely clear that the OP is responsible for any deductible, but what are the legalities regarding insurance coverage? (And, trust me, whatever is ethical, the insurance company or companies are going to care about the letter of the law.)

I don't think insurance would cover that but either way the OP is responsible.
