Homebuyers report

I had a Homebuyers report carried out before I purchased my home a month ago.
It is a detached house.
It turns out that we have a leak in the basement coming from a small crack in the side wall (probably coming from the drains outside) creating a puddle of water on the floor. Why did he not see that the basement floor is all wet? :eek:
My surveyor recommended the usual damp report but did mention the leak or wet floor. Do you think he'll get away with it because it wasn't a 'full structural survey'?

Must have been the same guy who failed to notice the kitchen floor was under an inch of water in my house
I think they get away with it as they always say they advise you get a electrician report, plumbers report etc etc etc0
