As a first-time home buyer, this is a great video. Im no inspector so a lot of this will go over my head in practice but it gives me a way to do a preliminary visual inspection of the house before deciding a house is worth making an offer on. I definitely think after watching this video its more than worth it for me to hire a professional inspector before buying the home. Its just really cool to see what an inspector does and how a truly professional inspector would go about their job. Im a huge DIYer so this really helps me make an Educated guess on weather or not a fixerupper is worth the real inspection. Good video 10/10 almost overly informative

First off, it is not the seller's responsiblity to fix things. It is the buyer that needs to fix things if it is important to the Buyers. It seems that buyers are lazy and want someone else to fix every little thing. Buyers need to know that things break and there is maintenance and they need to know how to take care of that.

[@phineusmcclintock1]

@@steveklemetti8035 so you as the seller won't fix anything because 1) you think all buyers are lazy and 2) you need to teach them a lesson on how to fix things. This is peak entitled boomer energy lol. Trying to sell broken houses and pass all the problems of it off to the next person - got it.

[@steveklemetti8035]

@@phineusmcclintock1 Wrong. Nothing in the house is broken. I intentionally removed the pneumatic closure on the storm door between the house and garage because I don't want to open two doors when going from the house to the garage, but the inspector flagged it as damaged. But it was working as I wanted it to. It's not the inspector's business. The inspector said the gutters were partial because they were only on the front and back but not sides. When I bought the house there were no gutters. I had someone install them on the front. He did it in metal and I didn't like that. I installed them on the back myself in vinyl. I didn't do it on the sides because there were trees and too many leaves to fall into them. And there was no way to clean them during storms. So that does not make the house broken or that there were problems. If I can install gutters and pvc fittings on the pool others can too. It is the buyers that feel entitled because they want credits and are used to having to call maintenance and after closing on a house they get the wake up call that they have to actually mow grass and trim trees. Imagine that.

[@internachi]

A dryer, even an electrical dryer, is a mechanical ventilation appliance. It exhausts air out of the house. Through is dryer vent pipe. So, it's exhausting indoor air that could/may be used for combustion. It's a common scenario.

I have been doing home inspections for 17+ years, and as an electrical engineer and former field electrician, my first observation of watching the first 14 minutes of your video is that obviously you've never been nailed at a breaker panel. If you had, you would not be using a standard screwdriver to turn/remove screws anywhere on that panel. You're also asking for a possible fatal shock when you remove the dead front using both hands. I NEVER remove any panel screws without using an insulated screwdriver and magnetic insulated handles to remove the dead front. I have come across more than one panel screw that was installed next to a hot wire inside the panel, and when it was removed it scraped the insulation off that wire and made quite a flash. You also better hope that you don't slip when removing that dead front with your bare hands and allow the metal to touch any part of that buss.

[@ironkingaw]

Thank you so much for the quick glance into the world of home inspections, this career path looks very interesting! Well done.👍🏻

[@internachi]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@theflorentine5047]

I dis agree- it is not the home inspectors job to "de value" a house because of older equipment- It is not a defect ! Too many home inspectors take it too far and devalue because they feel they need to "find" something. An old AC UNIT IS NOT A DEFECT AND ONLY STATE IT'S AGE AND EXPECTED LIFE. These inspections have killed deals for no good reason

[@internachi]

I disagree. Home inspectors do not kill deals. There's a buyer for every house. And the condition of a system, including its age, should not be a problem for someone who has found their dream home.

[@djchrismagicc]

I just started my home inspection course and this video is helping me understand the book much better! Thanks!!

[@internachi]

Glad it helped! We have more at kzbin.info/aero/PLKPEi6DdHVZyHK4tkfQuDKRPkBE5oWtuA

[@shaina49]

Well my house failed lol

[@internachi]

Oh, gosh. Home inspectors do not pass or fail houses. They just inspect and report their observations.

[@Ralphyx33]

It seems like a easy career, attention to detail is the most important aspect of the job. The money is fantastic. This could definitely be something to look into in the near future.

[@internachi]

Couldn't agree more!

[@Mihogan]

Bad ass hair

[@internachi]

We agree.

[@toroscosmicos9889]

Eddie Munster look alike contestant

[@carlosluque3285]

We learn a lot from his videos all instructor from internachi. Are the best

[@internachi]

Thank you, Carlos. Stay safe and healthy.

[@markparsons661]

Wow! This guy, no house on planet earth would pass. Next video tell everyone that they need 4 million dollars to repair everything you made a comment about. And next video inspect your own home and let me know if it would pass, lol. I seriously doubt it.

[@internachi]

Thanks for watching, Mark.

[@dennyfie]

You're not kidding Mark,my house is 20 years old and I could pick it apart, there is inspectors around here that kill a lot of deals. I'm sellingy home as it is right now not what it might need in 5- 10 years.

[@900bcy6]

Essential information if you are selling or buying a house. Thanks Jim.

[@internachi]

Glad it was helpful!

[@teraxiel]

Very impressive. This guy is better in every way from the guy that inspected my house. More professional, thorough, knowledgeable.

[@internachi]

He's the best.

[@tahirjavaid5510]

This man did the great job.💯

[@internachi]

Appreciate that.

[@DougCube]

This was very informative. Clearly, Jim is extremely good at his job, very knowledgeable, and conducts himself incredibly professionally. A question though... I didn't see any use of a moisture meter, thermal imager, radon gas meter, or black light. Aren't any of these tools commonly used in home inspections?

[@internachi]

I appreciate that! Thanks for watching. I teach free online classes for inspectors at www.nachi.org/webinars. Free, online, and open to everyone.

[@ak8026]

Best ever course I experienced ❤ excellent job. The main take for me was that, to be honest, it's not my job !!! It needs patience and accuracy that I don't see in me 😅

[@internachi]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Jondoewv]

Please tell me a rough estimate of what i can expect to pay on a inspection this thorough. Thank you

[@internachi]

Depends on location. Average in the United States is $350 to $450.

[@SnipezTTD]

On the topic of ceiling fans, it reminded me of a time when i seen my fan fall off the ceiling! It was a crazy moment. I just thought to myself...okay, now what!!! 😅

[@internachi]

Thank you for watching and commenting here. More videos are available at www.nachi.org/webinars.

[@vincentadofoli6421]

Wow very detailed---Thank you for this. You're the best Jim!

[@internachi]

Agreed.

[@multidimensionaltraveler806]

Very useful. I just bought my first house and getting an inpection done on it Wednesday before i finalize the purchase. I did not know exactly what is done but i know it is good,lol. Now i know what i am paying the inspector for and now know what type of information i will receive also will know how much money i will have to through in for any repairs. Minor wear and tear, door lock change and things like that is expected but good to find out if i would have to spend like 10k on just one repair job will not be good to find out later.

[@internachi]

Great to hear. To find a certified home inspector in your area, visit www.nachi.org/certified-inspectors

[@Spectora]

Very in-depth walk through Jim! Very helpful to new inspectors. We'll be referring new Spectora users to this!

[@internachi]

Thanks, Spectora!

[@roflswamp6]

I love homes and using my flashlight this sounds like a dream job and I would love to get started immediately

[@internachi]

[@sunniestevers6132]

Just bought my first house with my fiancé. Inspection next week. This has taught me so much

[@internachi]

Thanks for watching. Best wishes.

[@Rabbittrails4daze]

You create fantastic, educational content and I really appreciate it. Thanks so much! My question is: are there any increased risks with doing a load test on a house with aluminum wiring? Should it be avoided due to those potential risks? Further, is it uncharacteristic, pesky, or unacceptable to ask the inspector or offer to do personally (at the time of inspection) to remove the wall plates and/or plugs and switches to see if there are any issues with the wire connections or aftermarket connectors such as AlumiConn, especially on an aluminum wired house? I'd appreciate anyone's help and feedback, thanks!

[@internachi]

Glad you enjoyed watching the video.

[@stephenkiefer731]

2 questions; Do you check inside the toilet tanks, attachment bolts often corrode. Span of joist can also differ by thickness of subfloor (3/4, 1", 1 1/4", t&g, osb, etc.) do you take that into account? Appreciate the video and you sharing, very informative on many levels.

[@internachi]

Great point!

[@spaztic1]

question are all inspectors required to be as good as you are?" Mine in Florida missed an omg amount of things for my mobile home, did not inspect the ac or the septic tank, though he said he did.:(

[@internachi]

James Krumm is a great InterNACHI home inspector.

[@danettecadzow9837]

I'm not planning on being a home inspector but it was really interesting great job!!

[@internachi]

It's the best job in the whole world. You help people with their homes. And every home should be inspected every year. To become a home inspector, visit the only home inspector college at internachi.edu/

[@TheBr20042003]

Buying my first house this year. Going to look at one today, got a good idea from this video of what to look for right away and what the inspector should look for.

[@internachi]

Nice.
