$1,300,000 Burned House Demo - Why Did This House Burn So Bad

[@HobbyOrganist]

Went up so fast because of that crappy OSB, plastic siding, foam insulation, plastic fake wood laminated flooring and so on. They dont build houses like this in Europe, places like Hungary and Romania- they use kiln fired red terracotta blocks that are given stucco on the exterior, and terracotta roof tiles. Mt friend in Hungary visited the US in the past and she remarked recently that she had wondered how these massive American homes fall apart or burn up so bad and then she saw one under construction and she realized WHY and said they build cheap houses.

[@PlymouthVT]

Exactly. European is all brick and concrete. USA is crappy wood thrown up fast.

[@removeitprosdemolition]

Lots of house here are built with CMU concrete blocks and concrete, they are durable. New codes came in in the early 2000's. You can still build frame not many people do.

🤔 Oprah said roof should have been blue.... or possibly hired personal fire protection couple days prior fire

[@removeitprosdemolition]

@@Craig-k7j LOL

[@RussellD11]

Thats the house I re-wired a few months ago! Oh wow... shizit, my bad...

[@removeitprosdemolition]

Funny!!

Watching Colton tear out a concrete floor slab is as much fun as pulling up a couple of chairs in Publix in front of their Bread Slicing machine. My Son-In-Law and I just sat there in Publix for about 20 minutes one Saturday watching then slice bread. We're easily amused. Great video, Dave!

when it comes to insurance companies you can bet your gonna get the run around they will check for permits and inspections for the remodel if there was no permits and did not change your insurance to tell them you were in process of remodel they may deny the claim too

[@solidmakersaluminum]

That's the problem with having your neighbors so close, I've seen many mini mansions million dollar homes in Fort Myers with no yard, literally homes are steps away from each other, hopefully the owners of this home get some money from the insurance!

[@robertrabhudsonhornet5869]

Wow them house are almost on top of each other your so close to your neighbor they can hear everything you are doing

[@removeitprosdemolition]

Got to keep the farts down!

[@robertross804]

its good to see u again u and contain from liberty ky happy holiday from pops

[@removeitprosdemolition]

Merry Christmas!

[@dirtdigger9000]

How many hydraulic hoses do you guys replace? Probably a ton. Always can tell when a machine is used in demo.

[@markfulmer2135]

Great choice of music!!

[@removeitprosdemolition]

Thanks!! Pas that on to Hudson!!

[@RogerEbert-vy5pv]

The house was way to close to the others.

[@jays106]

that is why i won't live in the city your neighbors house goes yours could be gone too

[@removeitprosdemolition]

You got that right!!

[@mark77193]

Surprised to see the pool ripped out as well, it looked ok as far as I could tell from the video. Don't know if its different in the US, but here in New Zealand, insurance would not pay for a new pool if it wasn't damaged by the fire. Same for the paths etc.

[@removeitprosdemolition]

The owner is getting it ready for a new owner. New house warrants a new pool more up to date. This is a very wealthy place.

[@mackhopper]

How terrible for all of these home owners! Man, that property has such a narrow footprint. I’ve lived through floods, fired and tornados. I’m not sure which is worst, cleaning up after a flood or after a fire. They both suck!!!

[@removeitprosdemolition]

Being the neighbor this would be such terrible.

[@MsBlackhawk69]

I saw a window with the sticker still on. Could the new windows not be salvaged? Checked this house on Redfin and it sure was gorgeous.

[@removeitprosdemolition]

When they get that hot it melts the seals.

[@justinbrown2093]

You say crappy New Holland skid steer. I own a lS 170 skid steer. Had it 20 years in my earthmoving business ,only issue ever 1 hydraulic line , very reliable machine 😊

[@removeitprosdemolition]

That is good to know! I have heard from others that they are reliable machines.

[@juliecoggins1170]

It looks like the fire department defeated one house, and kept the other from spreading. They left the one in the middle to burn. The neighborhood streets look narrow, it would be hard to get enough resources close enough to fight all three fires at once

[@removeitprosdemolition]

Interesting to see a house burned this far. This close to the fire department I bet there was something flammable in the house like gasoline that made it burn faster or maybe nobody noticed it was on fire for a while.

[@kimsinclair125]

Really enjoy all the Remove It Pros videos. As a suggestion, please lower the volume of the music. Music is ok in the background but Too loud in this video.

[@removeitprosdemolition]

I'll pass that on to my editor

[@robertross804]

ps i watch mr dig in Carolina a land fill operator he just bought a new roto chopper it would grind up a house into saw dust and separate the metal might save u money

[@sircampbell1249]

Only a fool would live in HOA !

[@removeitprosdemolition]

I have had bad experiences with them too!!

[@elchobbi]

Nice job

[@removeitprosdemolition]

Thanks!

[@colettemack3690]

Something a little different from hurricane damage. Such a tiny lot

[@removeitprosdemolition]

So sad this guy was almost finished with it after Hurricane IAN damage!

[@benjifolwer]

good day

[@removeitprosdemolition]

Happy today!

[@rjlaxvespa1742]

Might have had Intruders, they were vaping -- it got out of control.. neighborhood teenagers aren't going to be vaping in their own houses... Might get stumbled in on..... Tradespeople can be notorious for not actually locking things up, or sending unsupervised workers out that don't lock up....LaxvespaLosAngeles

[@removeitprosdemolition]

Good point!!

[@missingremote4388]

I couldn't do what your team does

[@removeitprosdemolition]

What do you mean?
