"It's Going To Rain. Should We Cancel The Inspection?"
If I had a dollar for every time I heard this phrase -
"It's going to rain.  Should we cancel the inspection?"
well, you know the rest.  End the if-I-had-a-dollar phrase any way you want.
Dontchaknow, I hear that question all the time!
What's my answer? 
NO!  WE CAN SEE THINGS DURING RAINS THAT WE CAN ONLY GUESS ABOUT WHEN IT'S DRY.
This is a one-year inspection.  This is an individual who in the year since moving in has never used her back door.  And, she says, she doesn't often open her vertical blinds!
And yes, it was raining, hard, during the inspection.  Which I always like to see!
So, what could we see during the rain that I could only guess about when it's dry?
One thing I could see was a rear gutter that was dripping behind the gutter in three places!
And there was staining from crud behind the gutter at all three of those dripping spots.
What's that mean?
Many things.
There may be no drip edge.
The shingles are cut too short and drip behind the gutter.
There is a gap somehow.
With lightning and thunder during the inspection we aren't going on an aluminum ladder ... more
