Caulk and grout will fail 100% of the time. With exposure to moisture, expansion/contraction and normal wear and tear, caulk and grout will crack, peel and split. Just like vegetation in contact with your home, failed caulk and grout are conducive conditions for wood destroying organisms. Ignoring an issue like this can cause significant and expensive damage to your home. However, it is very easily repaired. Take a couple hours caulking around sinks, tubs, toilets, backsplashes and windows (don't forget the caulk around windows, trim and joints on the exterior) and re-grout as needed before the home inspection and you can easliy avoid another "nit-picky" item on the report. Grab a couple of these and make the job even easier!
