An inspector called me out for not sealing my foundation penetrations properly on a job in Tulsa

I had always just used spray foam for pipe entries through the foundation wall. This inspector showed up, pulled a phone pic of a rodent nest from a similar building, and said that foam alone is basically an open invitation. He made me rip it all out and use a polyurethane sealant with a backing rod. Took me an extra day but now I see why. Has anyone else had an inspector catch something routine like that and totally change your method?

Did the inspector show you the rodent nest photo too?

Must be nice having an inspector who actually finds something wrong with the place...
