If you have a chance to put your ladder in a corner where you can safely step off to the side that’s always better than an open face area of a roof

That's a good safe practice procedure for using a ladder that I have used.

Hey im in the springs area, been my whole life pretty much. I recently discovered my interest in home inspections. That's because ive worked trade jobs for the past 10 years.... And ive worked for a lot of bosses doing practically all types of construction-restoration. Seen it all. Thank you for sharing this video! How can i job shadow for a day?

Hmmm... InterNACHI says to use a 2x4 for the resistance test on the garage door and never to use your hand to prevent any mechanical damage. I just passed the InterNACHI garage inspection course before watching this 😉 Great informative video though!

Have fun paying for a new garage door when it fails to stop and bends the bottom panel, or breaks the gears. You've just performed a destructive test!

@@farstrider79 Better tell Ben to change the course and InterNACHI standards for garage door test if that's the case or should we just send them the bill since that's how it was taught?

Not having all the water sources continuously running during the entire inspection is a big mistake. You’re missing so many plumbing repairs that you do not even know about. Leaky drain pipes, leaky supply lines, leaking faucet arms and control knobs, you’re missing a possible plumbing back up from a blocked Main drain line. Tubs and sinks with slow drains etc. Running all of the water the entire time at the inspection is probably the most important thing a HomeInspector can do

Kind of agree here. At least all the fixtures in a room or two to put the system under a simulated "typical load".
@theallaroundguy23999 ай бұрын
@@marcusruth6612 no, the short time you are there you want to overload it. By doing that hopefully you are ensuring that things will be OK under a typical load. Like test driving a car, everyone floors it and slams on the brakes and does stuff they would not typically do

Every Company has a different policy for there procedures, ours is to run all fixtures within that room at the same time, fill to over flow then drain. If you have made a video for internachi you would know A LOT of items are edited out.

As an instructional video you should’ve went ahead and talked about how you made sure that that was wired as a sub panel and not the main panel. Just a thought

Joining would not affect what you can inspect. InterNACHI is just a place to learn and get certifications. The certifications are not recognized by your state or the government.

There at 18:00, next to the furnace flue, ehat was yhst copper pipe that looked like it had a meter on it? Also, i would have tried to run the garage door with the GFCI tripped to make sure they weren't wired together. And when testing gas cooktops, make sure you turn the onon down to the lowest setting to see if it stays lit. If it goes out when it should be on s simmer setting, gas can build up in the house. They may need calibration.
