Amazing Job. The way you reveal the idea of building inspection is really appreciated. Thanks for sharing great thought.
-
While you're looking around the foundation (1:30), look for "mud tubes" that would indicate the presence of termites.
-
Thank you. as I am looking for a home now this is very good info to have. I already test most if not all the plugs to make sure they are grounded and wired correctly as I have alot of electronics. my relator was surprised when i did test them with a tool she has seen inspectors use.

Thank you for posting. Another thing I saw in the video was that downspout near the vent well discharges onto a splash block. There should really be an extension there. Splash blocks don't do much for carrying water away from the foundation, and over time the water can actually wash out underneath them and end up pitching them towards the house. It's an easy $7 fix the home buyer can do themselves that could potentially save a lot of headaches in the long run.

my company does work 4 Coldwell Banker agency here in northern Michigan and let me tell you, what a great agency they are to work with !.
-
excellent work!

5:30 probably should have mentioned that the non-GFCI recepticle on the counter would most likely be wired to the load side of the GFCI one. If properly done, they both are ground fault protected, and would meet code.
-
Great tips!
-
i know this was things to look for if you are a home owner but atleast take a look at the breaker panel to see if its fues or cheep FPE breakes that catch fire and take a look at the outside of the windows
-
why does the inspector say take a quick look at the crawl space. I would think he should crawl around in it and look for issues. There he would see more problems then just water. There would be things he could see like bad wiring, pest, etc. right?
-
@cheezexcp That's not true at all. The window is still providing most of its intended insulation effects even when the seal has failed. The seal is to keep vapor out of the gap so that it stays clear. The failed seal is not allowing more heat to suddenly pass through the window.
-
any cracks larger than 3/4 of an inch are a problem if i had a 3/4 inch crack in my basement i wold start to worry about it
-
I do not want a home with a crawl space!
-
There are plenty of potential problems. the more time spent looking, the more likely to identify them.
-
After all these hard inspections, why houses "fly" away during phenomenon like tornadoes?
-
according to the NEC all kitchen outlets must be GFCI if your going to do any electrical inspections you should at least know what your talking about. if not someone could potentially be seriously injured
-
Video should be renamed ".01% of home inspection issues to look out for".....thanks but, next to pointless. I didn't expect much for a 6 min video but I was still let down.
-
As a licensed plumber and electrian, I like to call "home inspectors" trim inspectors. They really do like to make a big deal over the small stuff and miss most of the big stuff. But they sure do give me plenty of easy money....

Not a big issue for energy efficiency?! DO NOT HIRE THIS GUY! He does not know what he is talking about. When you have fogging or moisture in between the panes of glass, you have a failed insulated unit. Your efficiency is now basically 0. It will not give you the same insulation for temperature discrepancy. Another failed contractor wannabe.
