“"Mr. Joines, the inspector retained by the Hills, testified that when he is hired to inspect homes in which [a] prior infestation had been detected by a pest control company, it is his customary practice to limit his inspection to areas specifically documented on the wood-infestation report and/or attached diagrams. The Hills provided no expert testimony, nor proof of any kind, to show that the inspection conducted by Metrospec was deficient or that the results it reported were inaccurate."”
