I'm pissed and I don't know where to look for an answer.

I'm selling my house and the buyer's inspector's report states "evidence of water in basement"; the evidence is water stains - nothing else.

So I tell the real estate agent to find a company to do an evaluation. Get this - she finds a company who's job it is to repair leaking basements. They don't provide a written report stating there is a problem just - get this - an estimate for $3,800. to do things. I remember the water stains from the time I bought the house.

Any ideas where I look to find an independent professional who can provide me with a determination if there is a problem? I don't even know where to look in the telephone book.
