I don't know why I was so interested in this video but this guy was really good at capturing my attention. Jim showed me that in the future when I buy a house I want in inspector with passion for what they do and who cares about the little details. What a great, smart and professional guy! (Also that cracked foundation made me nervous and reminded me of why Inspectors are so important)
Awesome. Now I can partially inspect things myself when I'm walking through a home. The number one thing I got at least from watching this video, is that MOISTURE IS THE ENEMY!
I'm here from the link in a previous video (with music) So I'll just go ahead and copy my comment. I got here by accident, I'm not interested in buying a house nor am I connected to the business in any way. But this was so interesting and a pleasure to listen and watch. Definitely faving this.
Thank you for the feedback, Tim. As a first time homebuyer, you deserve the best home inspection. Be sure to check the home inspector's certification. They must be trained and certified by a nationally accredited school, such as the InterNACHI School (a home inspector school accredited by the U.S. Department of Education as a post secondary education institution). Visit www.nachi.org/certified-inspectors for finding a certified inspector.
very thorough inspection and well done! I'm looking to become a home inspector and wanted a good overview of what to expect. Thanks for the video this is just what I was looking for.
Hi! Great video. OSHA says 36” (3 rungs) of the ladder should extend above the landing platform, and the angle should be 4:1 ratio. For every four feet up, 1 foot out.
I watched this video a second time and learned more in the second time since the music wasn't as loud. This is a great video, thank you InterNACHI for making this available to us and thankyou inspector Krumm
Thank for this "no music" version. the audio is a little uneven so I can hear you much better. I'm getting into real estate investing and this was a very informative video, thank you!
I know you are not allowed to advise, but looking at the foundation I'd jack the joists/house up 1/8" from inside the crawl, pull the 2 courses block, re-lay the block straight, waterproof, backfill and grade appropriately. I had one with 5 courses where the whole wall almost caved in completely and this fix took care of it. Not cheap but probably the cheapest solution in the long run. Should the Radon be vented for "air in" on the opposite side of the foundation? Thanks for re-posting the video without the train whistle.
Good comments and questions, Brian. You ought to post you questions on the message board and share it with home inspectors. That’s the great value of the message board: getting answers from a ton of home inspectors. Please visit www.nachi.org/forum/f11/ and post that question and join the discussion on inspection topics. You may also want to consider finding a Mentor to help answer technical inspection questions at www.nachi.org/mentoring. You may also want to refer to the international code books online at codes.iccsafe.org/public/collections/I-Codes. For immediate assistance from other inspectors while you're onsite at an inspection job, you may want to request help at www.nachi.org/on-site-help.htm.
Ben, thanks for sharing all this great content. I'll be starting an inspection business this summer. It's going to be a side business initially, but it's something I hope to grow into my full-time job. I've been relying on a lot of your content for education and it's been very helpful.
It's common. You may want to check out the other locations of panelboards described inside our article www.nachi.org/inspect-main-electric-panelboard.htm
Awesome video. Thanks for the post. I was wondering if there is a website or something you can look up a well knowledgeable inspector vs the ones that give this profession a bad name. (Being politically correct here) Just another quick comment here. I'm glad to see he starts the oven to allow it to run for a few before testing CO but 800 ppm is truly unacceptable during operation. There is probably a calibration. Could be flame impingement.
Good comment, Michael. I'll pass it on to Jim, the inspector. And to find a certified home inspector, visit www.nachi.org/certified-inspectors. Certified Master Inspectors are at certifiedmasterinspector.org/
I would like to converse with Jim about the Co information at 18:21. It seems a bit misleading. A gas stove is allowed to emit 800 ppm of Co but only as an Air Free reading. If our CO detectors picked up 800 PPM then people would be dropping like flies within and hour or two. I would like to know how he explains this to his clients. Consumer purchased CO Detectors read a Concentration level for the ambient air in the room which is a much lower number and cannot be directly correlated with the "Air Free" reading.
Hello. Jim Krumm is available at cbhi.biz/ Regardless of what kind of ventilation system is installed for the rest of the house, an exhaust fan should be installed in the kitchen to exhaust moisture and odors associated with cooking. We have a good article about this at www.nachi.org/kitchen-exhaust.htm
Jim. Hello, regarding the roof ladder, I have had people In the company, have zero clue about the basic 3 ft over the roof level, you CANdidmount & remount the ladder SAFELY, 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Hi, Leslie. Agreed, but the loud music lasts only for several seconds by mistake. Sorry about that. Unfortunately, RU-vid does not provide a way to replace a video. So, we made a duplicate video without the music at ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pAQRoLKdTyI.html
Trevor Vallo It's becausd of subjectivity. One potential buyer might want to fix all the issues, another might fic some and another might just live with them and find a fix for them down the road.
Thanks for the video, great job, looking at getting into the industry, one question though, you mentioned you like to see the downspout extensions when you were at the front by the driveway, about 4:30 into the video, would you still want to see them going through the walkway like that? Or can they be underground etc? I wouldnt think youd want to have to step over them correct?

Thanks for great video very easy to learn from u but can i ask to contact u when i have any Q because i am new home inspector by mail or any contact thanks
THANKS for fixing the silly music!!! Unfortunately ...I saw the link AFTER I watched the whole video. Why dont you take the music one down? so people ONLY see this one.
Hi, Farhan. Agreed. Sorry about that. The loud background music only lasts a few moments. Unfortunately, RU-vid won't allow replacing a video, so we uploaded a quieter video at ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pAQRoLKdTyI.html. Thank you for watching our video.

Not sure. But going mobile with a tablet or ipad device will change everything in your home inspection business, including increasing speed, efficiency, and accuracy. It also help to reduce liability and mistakes.

Word of advice: Use a better bungee cord than the cheap one you used in your video. Take word on this. If you have a bungee cord that has cheaply made metal hook or cheap elastic, well think about how much you value your life. Good day.
These so called home inspectors will never go into an attic access panel. They only do the easy stuff. It's amazing how much they miss in the electrical department.
@@internachi Indeed, radon is a fallacy. Odorless, colorless, invisible gas. 🤣 Supposed to be a non invasive, visible inspection. Second only to cancer.. 😂
Home inspectors... you need to be held responsible, you need to be regulated your nothing more than used car salesmen. BTW make sure that gates closed can’t let rover out
Hey just a quick question I saw you use a flashlight. What is your everyday carry flashlight and what was your carry flashlight at the time of this video? (5 years after upload)
