Holmes On Homes Sea 05 Epis 14 Holmes Inspection, Part 2 

I am a retired carpenter and we bought a home 5 years ago and I schooled the home inspector. I had to show him all the bad things that he should have known

thanks for uploading these!

Mike Holmes, bloody legeend

I LOVE MIKE and DAMON!!😊😊😘😘😊😊

Im starting to wonder if any of the home inspectors are actually trained to do a damn thing. In my own home, new construction, supposedly inspected, after I moved in and started finishing the basement I found a bought a dozen items that should have been flagged by by the plumbing, electrical and structural inspections, not word about any of them. Wish there was a Mike Holmes in my area. But from watching his shows and other home build, Reno shows, I’m getting smarter every day.

I am surprised that Mike does not get a headache from all this

Home inspector gets paid to make you happy. & Not worry Ching Ching $$$$.thank you.

These Home Inspectors need ratings. The more inspections you do, the higher your rating could possibly be. If you do a inspection and you have what this inspector did, their rating will reflect the lowsy job they did. If they believe the new homeowner gave them an unfair review, then they can contest it. Then the owners would need to show a 3rd party why they gave the inspector the re iew they did. A system like this would not eliminate this crap but it would atleast stop most of it. I would definitely look for an inspector with a high rating to inspect a house before inspector with a low rating

It's not called a hot water heater. It's called a water heater.

Good stuff Great show

Scotland and England while visiting, I was green from the roof to the ground on a lot of buildings. It was cooper for lightning strikes.

Finding a home inspector is a word of mouth venture. Forget inspectors that are associated with realtors, because they are more interested in that 1-5% commission on the sale. Since he was a bad inspector, tell all your friends and neighbors not to use him. Even enemies should be informed!!

Seems like a person has to hire an inspector to inspect the inspector. Wish Mike lived in New Jersey.

Intermatic makes a fantastic whole house surge suppressor system with replaceable modules vs the ones shown here which are 100% 'disposable'. $500 installed?!?!?!? Geez - I paid $300 for the Intermatic system PLUS three spare modules. Install for an electrician is an hour or less.

Does anyone sue the home inspector?

Anyone know what happened with the new homes he promoted, that were falling apart.

WOW! WOW! WOW! When does Mike get to the point of demolishing the house. But spending a $100 grand on rehab to make it right does not mean total demo. I bet you previous homeowner(s) did most of the work on this house. It was a Half Baked Trades person the homeowner hired to do the work hope they are OUT OF BUSINESS. They are clueless. HOWEVER all that being said, the home inspector should have said there are problems either offer less or walk away from this house its a disaster/major problems. Sadly the home inspector does not want to be a thorn in the side of a realtor and blow a deal apart! So I am not so sure the home inspector is incompetent or just there to walk the walk and yep its good NEXT. Many realtors don't care because they are NOT home inspectors. Sadly many home inspectors should NOT be in the business. Especially the person that did this home inspection should be put out of business immediately and/or sued for bad business practices. BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN A REALTOR GIVES YOU A LIST OF HOME INSPECTORS TO CALL. BE VERY CAREFUL... Like this home owner said bring in each individual trades person to inspect the house: heating/air, electrical, plumbing, roof, general contractor. Let's say that inspections cost is $2,000 to $3,000 or upto $5,000. Well its money well spent when you consider it was $100 grand to make the repairs on this house. It better to walk away or offer a lot less then to have major headaches once you start finding stuff after moving in to the house!!! The worst factors in this house was the carbon monoxide, electrical issues and the plumbing issues. Two of those issues could have been extremely detrimental to the family that was living there before Holmes fixed ALL the issues. Keep your emotions out of buying a house, treat it as a business decision...

Wrong. The water heater doesn't need to cool the water. It's called a water HEATER. Not water heater and cooler.

Who pays for all these repairs that should of been seen before

Mike hi , From Mike in Madurah Western Australia. Just a strange question if may? I noticed this story , how can this these repairs . If I can loved to help if I may . Regards , Mike Baguley

HI MIKE I WANTED TO SHARE AN IDEA ID LIKE TO START A SEARCH AND RESCUE TEAM IN YOUR AREA AND ID LIKE FOR YOU TO BE OUR COMMANDING OFFICER LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT IT

Have you been watching the team at all awb is our number one rb Deloe is not even signed 0:20

At 11:55 Oops!!!!! That is a vertical stud you are talking about. It is NOT "Level". It is "Vertical". "Level" would be horizontal. Horizontal it is not, not if it is a stud. Mike: You SHOULD know this stuff, but apparently you have got yourself confused. No Excuse.

Home inspectors are not worth what they charge. The inspection is not worth the paper it’s written on Total waste of time
