from the visible exposed basement wall 回複：請教inspection

if nothing visible, i.e, entire basement is finished, the inspector will not and could not tell you anything.

If someone recently finish the basement for the purpose of sale, it could have a "skeleton" hiding behind or nothing serious.

experience inspector cann spot tell-tale sign of foundation from the surface cracks in brick veneer, etc.

When he spot a few red flag, he may always refer you to consult structural engineer for further assessment.
