A day in the Life of a Home Inspector!

[@monie1527]

CONGRATULATIONS on your new home, Brittany. A good home inspector is worth their weight in GOLD!

[@armanisells]

Definitely Monie! We got one of the best inspectors to check this one :)

[@monie1527]

Is it common, in Canada, to use the same inspector? I was apprehensive when I bought a large home with a pool. The inspector called out a pool expert who inspected the pool, pump and pump house for me. Put me at ease! I have used this same inspector for all the rental units I have purchased since then. He's AWESOME!

[@JohnPleasant]

Much respect for doing a video like this. Considering joining the home inspector ranks without coming from construction, architect background and this really helps to see the work.

[@andrebanks9434]

Hey im considering this too man let me know how it goes for you

[@JohnPleasant]

dre 800 Same! I chose the program (Inspection Certification Associates). California based. Will purchase soon.

[@team3gaming749]

John Pleasant Jr. How’s the Home Inspector career going? Are you satisfied with it?

[@JohnPleasant]

Team3Gaming so far, all I've done was decide upon the school. ICA. With the current situation, I've yet to purchase

[@rekagran5663]

John Pleasant Jr. have you purchased yet? I’m from Cali as well looking into this

[@BudzyFoxMX5]

Good video. Informative and well edited. I’m actually watching this because I’m looking for any kind of information on daily life of a home inspector. I’m making the career change very soon. Thank you.

[@armanisells]

Thank you so much for the kind words Dustin!!! Good luck on your career change!

[@taniamartinez8115]

Did you get into house inspection? If so how is it going?

[@theurbanredneck2493]

Im looking to do the same. Been in HVAC for 20 years and want to get out to free up family time. Only concern I have is marketing and actually getting business.

[@BudzyFoxMX5]

[@geraldcoreus3854]

How much did joe make to show up and do the home inspection?

[@TrinsPOV]

Great Video!!! I just purchased the NY Real Estate License 6th edition book and plan to complete my exam in 3 months. I wanted to see an over-the-shoulder of a home inspector, you nailed it!

[@theomarceau8251]

I tried to absorb a lot of information from this video but couldn’t stop myself from trying to put lyrics to the background music.

[@danutdracula]

Omg it's beautiful

[@ExceptionalLex]

Please consider lowering the volume of the background music for your next video. Thank you for the information!!!

[@ryanhogan5072]

Great video! Probably could turndown the background music a couple notches, hard time focusing on the discussion with current volume.

[@omnislash6619]

I have six years of wdo inspections with plenty of experience with termite treatments and warranty bonds under my belt. Do i have an advantage?

[@maribelcruz6636]

do you have to have prior experience in construction or do they teach you all this in school course

[@racquellevias9297]

As I started this video the time is 4:44. I guess I'm on the right path. Thanks for this informative video.

[@RIVERKINGERIC]

This is an educational and well-made video. Thank you, Mario and Mr. Marino for doing this. Could you ask Joe if he would mind recommending a good online home inspection training provider? I'm in Mississippi, seeking training in home inspection, and am having trouble deciding. ICA, InterNACHI, AHIT, etc. all seem to be good online schools.

[@bigkid757]

3456 I’m in the same boat as you were. Who’d you end up going with? And any good?

[@24k__21]

My home inspector did none of that😂 I am now pursuing a home inspector career 🙏

[@formicroscopyuseonly]

I like the content, but I would suggest working on when you have background music. VICELAND is a good example. I felt like your music distracted from what you said and made it a slightly more laborsome watch. Just thought I'd let you know. Keep up the great content.

[@sweettreatsbyashleysweettr1252]

I’m actually going to school for this now...great video

[@romeo9015]

@Ko Jin depends on the state. some states have strict requirements and others have none at all.

[@official6arz]

Does anyone know if they have grants to enter home inspection school? I don't have $3,000 laying around rite now.

[@andrebanks9434]

How do you build credibly as an inspector?

[@circularebin]

Andre Artillery ... Credibility comes the hard way....say what you do, do what you say, don’t half-ass the process, and most importantly, make people feel like their money was spent wisely.

What schooling is required

[@JustPearls]

the music during the talking is distracting but overall thank you for the video, good work

[@nightfangs2910]

I never understood why trades guys i.e. carpenter, plumber, electrician, masons never got together to do home inspections, like the A team for home inspections

[@bigkid757]

night fangs I’m a licensed home improvement contractor and am just about ready to start taking classes in home inspection to get certified.

[@taylorpage9458]

Before I made my comment I've read all the comments to see if anyone it is a professional contractor or have some experience in construction and don't know how good is that inspector because it may fly in Canada but here in the states I will certainly advise my customer to negotiate better terms considering that at 1:37 the right front of the house presents structural issues considering the lighter tuckpointing repair, the lighter spot in the basement corner is bleached due to previous mold or water leaks, the attic is a fire hazard, the water meter should not be enclosed, inside the house or covered by insulation considering that attracts humidity and a is a bug paradise, anyway are few more things but hey I'm not a home inspector but a building contractor and if any other contractor reads my comment he or she knows what I'm talking about. However, I feel bad for that little girl because while these guys want to promote their business she will run into all kinds of problems with insurance companies knowing how peaky are the insurance inspectors always looking to downgrade the value of your home.

[@armanisells]

Appreciate your comment very much Taylor. The point of this video was to show how a home inspection goes so buyers who have never been through a home inspection actually get to see one in action. During this inspection. For your knowledge, when you purchase a home & specific issue is noticeable those would be taken into consideration to the listing price of the house so when we bought the home we took those defects already into account. The home inspection is meant to pick up issues that were not so easily visible during our purchase walk through. After the home inspection concluded, the inspector pointed out several issues that we were not aware of, those issues were presented to the seller and an abatement was given to the new buyers so they can remedy those issues once they moved in. The little girl is not a little girl in fact, she is a very successful woman & while we do want to promote our business we always put the clients interest first. This home was purchased 3 years ago, they have not had one issue as I still keep in touch with these people & their home is worth over 250k more than what they bought it for. Hope that gives you a little more insight on the back end. Appreciate you watching!

[@CategoricalImperative]

Thermal cameras detect heat.

[@Jonb72]

It's even in the name. Thermal! And I liked the presumptuous question "did you think this inspection would be this thorough?".

[@CategoricalImperative]

yea.... the arrogance of this guy. Let the PROFESSIONAL speak!

[@joshhancock2563]

Thermal imaging also detects moisture. More specifically somewhat recent moisture, because moisture imbedded somewhere that it shouldn't be will have a different temp than the surrounding area. Make sense?

[@Jonb72]

@@joshhancock2563 I don't think the moisture will have a different temperature unless it's a very recent event. The moisture would have time to acclimate to the substrate or "host" material. We used IR cameras for inspections realizing it's limitations but also used Delmhorst pin type and Tramex non destructive moisture meters which specifically are designed to detect and measure moisture (against relative humidity). Anyway maybe I'll do an experiment to test it. I'll report back even if I'm wrong!

[@circularebin]

Jonb72 ... moisture will have a cooler surface temperature signature until it dries out. The thermal camera doesn’t necessarily detect moisture. It provides a temperature variance visualization. What looks like moisture, can also be an insulated area next to an un-insulated area, or vice-versa, depending on adjoining temperature zones. You’re getting a little confused with your terminology and equipment. You’re pin type meter is an “invasive” type, and your non pin, or scanning meter, is a “non-invasive” type. Invasive and non-invasive has nothing to do with measuring moisture against relative humidity, which is moisture, but in the air. Relative humidity is a separate, and completely different measurement of moisture.

Thermal camera is a joke. Nice toy to trick these young looking Vikings.

[@circularebin]

sprinks sprinkks ... Thermal cameras are a joke? You’ve obviously never learned to use one. They’re a very expensive, effective, and informative tool.

[@03badassstang]

@@circularebin yes they are but if he had the schooling he would have never said the things he did. It is obvious to me he is not a Certified Residential Thermographer. They do not see through wall only measure surface temperatures. They do not seek out moisture but show thermal anomalies. Would not do an inspection without one.

[@AngelTorres-tk2nw]

The worst inspection I ever watched.

[@fbanda20]

Home inspections are great for homeowners that know nothing about houses but for a handy type of buyer home inspections are a Joke . Almost comical , I can pretty much spot 95% of what will be on his report just by walking around the house. I mean it’s all common sense to me. I should be a home inspector!

[@circularebin]

If you can spot 95% of his report from walking around the house, you should be a home inspector! Your common sense could make you a lot quick money, but that missing 5% will eat up your profits with an outrageous E&O premium and attorney fees.

So it's a joke & comical to u but u want to b 1???🤔
