Seller refusing to acknowledge water damage

I had an inspection which revealed a small amount of water damage to one of the base boards in a bedroom. The inspector used a moisture meter and said there is significant moisture present behind this area. He said he believes it may be the AC drip line leaking but he wouldn’t be able to tell for sure without getting into the wall.

In a repair addendum, one of the things I requested was for the owner to investigate this, remedy it, and remedy any mold issues if any as a result. They responded with there is no issue and nothing will be done. How can they do this when there is clearly water damage and a professional inspector said there is in fact moisture?

My realtor said he is sending one of his guys for free today to get a second opinion. I’d hate to back out of the house for what is probably a small issue but their ignorance to it is really turning me off....

Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...
