- Ryan and Eunice spent years in a tiny condo saving for their dream house in the suburbs. The home inspector was very reassuring and they maxed out their mortgage to buy.

Holmes vs Water... their battle are always legendary
that rubbermaid fast track hangers in the garage is what every home owner needs i have it in my garage and backyard 20x10 shed A MUST HAVE.
I think Mike should write books on how to manage your house to make it last longer. His books on rehab are great.
there's a window between us I think I like it this way.🤣🤣🤣
cuircit act yes
Every time I see these old episodes, I'm grateful that Mike got me interested in the trades, and I'm terrified at the thought of how common these hazardous houses are. Imagine how bad it would be without building codes.
I wish there was a Mike Holmes for renters
Back in the 90s, I used to install Electrolux central vacs. It was fun!
Perhaps someone could enlighten me. Here in the UK you have a Survey done by a qualified and regulated surveyor. If he is negligent you claim against his professional insurance to get it fixed. If there are enough complaints or they are serious enough the professional body takes disciplinary action. From fines through retraining to being struck off! Yet there appears to be no sanctions in Canada and no insurance.
Or am I missing something?
Do enjoy these shows though.
Here in the USA there is no accountability so shady people get to keep on being shady. USA is a country of “blame someone else”
@@Tablesaw818
No, the original commentor is correct, even in the U.S. If the inspector has liability insurance - and most of them have it as a business requirement - you file the complaint to the insurance company or sue them not the inspector.
That is the way it should be done here in Canada. Unfortunately any Tom, Dick or Henrietta can be a home inspector here.
I love the zoom out of the lady sitting on the kids chair putting the fence together
In general, home inspectors work for the realtor, not the buyer. The realtor doesn't get paid until/unless the home sale closes. Realtors do not want the home inspector to find anything that will delay or derail the sale closing. Don't let the realtor chose your home inspector. Before you even start shopping for a home, find an inspector with a good reputation, and make sure the inspector knows that they will be working for YOU, and you will hold them responsible for missing significant problems. And, do not EVER close if you are told that problems will be fixed after closing. It's a lie! Once the seller and realtors have their money, you are on your own.
that's why we had a separate inspector that I knew go through the house for us before we made our final offer and had said that there were some things that had to be done before we signed
I was watching one of these and the lady hired her own inspector and he still passed everything in the house and then it was so messed up she had to get Mike.
Agreed! This is why I paid for an inspector from two hours away that had no skin in the local game and worked for me.
Agreed, with everything always get your own person. Vet, Inspector, mechanic, lawyer. EVERYTHING!! No conflict of interest
Hard to beat !
Awesome
A brilliant example of how a contractor should be.
Although if your paying the bill it could get quite expensive since half the time their solution is just to rip everything out and replace it. Still better than doing a half effort job that falls apart in a few years, but it could get real expensive real fast.
@@JustaGuy_Gamingit is the proper solution there is no other solution doing things half way is not a solution
@@Ashthecyberwolf Do not disagree with you on the principle. However, sometime you cannot afford the Rolls Royce and have to settle for patching up the old farm truck for another season and pretend the hole in the cab roof is "climate control"! 😁
@@Ashthecyberwolf There is always another solution, move out. It's why so many the houses Holmes fixes are in this state. People sell broken down homes, most the time by doing their best to hide the fact to idiots.
In many cases what Homles does cost more than the house was worth, it would of been easier and cheaper to build/buy a new home. Then pay say 500k for an old home, then spend another 200k on fixing it.
8:10 "...I read something about a GFI failing....did you have it fixed?"
"No"
"Did you read the report?"
"Yes"
SMH
Mike's expression was one of "are you serious?"
Spray foam making the house sweat so much that it needs air circulation and venting! Come to my 1820 house with 4ft thick sandstone walls and INTENTIONAL holes in the roof and under the floor and ZERO foundation! Stood grand for 202yrs! Don’t know if much of this transfers to uk…. But still good!
My favorite part of the episode was when he asked about the gfci.
"Did you get it fixed?"
No
"Did you read the report?"
Yes
"Get it fixed"
Classic!
A home inspector is not perfect, but whats the point of getting one if you aint gonna fix stuff that is on there
We're in NZ, but got a home inspection done on our place, first thing we did when we moved in was fix all the things that were in the report. It always surprises me when people are in this situation, but they haven't fixed what they did know about.
Exactly. That was telling.
haha that makes me lol
That's what happens when you buy more house than you can afford. Unfortunately, it is far too common.
These people don't even clean their vacuum. They're running it with the smell of burnt hair while their furnace sits there barely able to work from all the dust. There's a point where being that lazy and ignorant is your fault. Even that mold under the sink. Clean it, paint it, do something.
When you buy a house there is so much info on line…they had things they could fix but didn’t
Mike Holmes is one of my favorite TV/contractor personalities, I started watching his show way back in the day! I have all his books! Very knowledgable and hard working! I found it strange that he told the homeowner to get that GFI fixed, isn’t that why he is there? To fix the whole house if it’s inspection issues?
I am from Phoenix, Arizona and I am really impressed with the work Mike and his crew do everyday. I do have a correct garage, I had a 8" x8" concrete curb poured to support the new 2 x 4 framed walls. The concrete had rebar sunk into the existing slab before pouring the concrete, then anchor bolts every 32 inches to hold the wall in place. Per code here in Phoenix the garage must have two layers of drywall on the ceiling. The roof was part of the house and all I did was wall in the 25 x 19' foot carport. I made sure a receptacle is in place for the new door opener. The walls were insulated except where I intentionally placed 8 vents, 4 up and 4 down to allow air movement within the garage. The laundry room sits in front of the garage so it to have drywall placed over the T-111 siding. I had to move the wall light forward for the 1/2 in ch drywall thickness. The slab slopes in two directions to the side and front to drain water away from the house. The house is built with cinder block which was typical in 1967 when it was built. Every receptacle and switch were replaced along with the breakers in the panel. The new siding for the garage was placed 1/2 in lower than the framing to keep it dry, then I chalked the joint where the siding meets the concrete footing. I also learned you do the same thing I did for my kitchen Cupboards, I placed 1/2" plywood on the walls so I would hit all of the studs, then mounted the cabinets with screws into the plywood.
Awesome as usual.
I've got my suspicions about "could not salvage the dishwasher" ... that feels like "somebody wanted to donate one" to me.
I assumed whoever hooked it up had mangled the water intake.
Nah, seeing what they did to the one end and knowing the common size for the other I'd say they probably mangled the inlet on the dishwasher
I'm glad Mike scolded the home owners for not fixing the issues on the report. Everyone likes to be blameless, but that is never true.
yeah those bad home owners🤣🤣🤣
23:30
You're kidding. That's perfectly good glass that they're throwing away! Sure, the frame is rotten, but can't they make a new frame? D:
The names and companies who did a poor job in the first place should be named and shamed. Also the inspectors who failed to see poor workmanship should be ashamed of themselves and named
Sorry to hear that your mom passed away she always look like she was having fun and trying hard not too let the disease brought her in any way. I know how it feels to lose your mom. My mom passed in 1983 52 days after my son was born. She was my rock and savior. Here are prayers for you and your family. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😇😇😇😇. She will always be watching over you and your family.
Most inspector just wanna get the hell out of dodge
Inspector: it's fine that's nothing to worry about, oh that minor, oh that happen to an old house
Pass 😂
Honestly as much as I like this series, it's also rather depressing. Years of house flippers have really destroyed most homes these days and they always do just enough to hide it. Add to that most home inspectors have zero ability or intent to find these flaws. There is no license or standard for home inspectors it seems. Any idiot off the street can claim to be one.
Add to that those that are in bed with the realtor to begin with and just sign off on stuff to get their cut of the sale.
Out with the bad in with the Damon
Is a garbarator the same as a garbage disposal? At first, I kept thinking he was saying ‘carburetor’, so it took me a minute to catch up….
Great job. The garage looks fabulous.
41:22 She said, "Because I didnt hear what you said" He Replied,"So you,want me to go show you how to do it!?" :) I can read lips! lol
Electronic dust zappers Good for getting rid of asbestos in the air
Why doesn't Mike run his own Holmes inspection school. They get a certificate at the finish. No diploma, no job.
He did set up The Holmes Foundation to support the education of the next generation of skilled trades
What sort of carburetor is under a sink?
I have moved across the country a few times and purchased multiple houses. It is a hard job telling an owner and purchaser how much work is needed on a house. The buyer needs to know what is wrong.
It seems the the garage last thing build
circuit act yes
This is not S1 episode 13, but episode 15. It looks like HomefulTV uploaded the same episode for 113 and 115.
Any homeowner should be capable to change the filter.
Can't do horizontal rails in the states, either.
As all way you great
say mike how much spray foam do thay use on one of your remodle just wondering
a friend of mine when through all the classas it takes to get to where you are
and he had all your gear you use and thought me a lot he died in thousend and I miss him
This house had a lot of issues that were minor compared to other homes.
COOL
My home buyers report in the UK said I had a gas boiler despite " oil boiler" being written on the front.
I assumed I was the ignorant one and it must have been converted.
A long time later when I had moved in I discovered it was in fact an oil boiler I rang the inspector who was totally unworried.
Luckily I wanted the home anyway and had the boiler changed.
I put no faith in posh looking reports, legally they exclude all liability so mistakes they make cost me not them.
Even if you had a full structural survey costing hundreds of pounds there are good and bad chartered surveyors, try suing for mistakes and good money follows bad.
It is very difficult to find honest competent people to do a survey worth the paper it's written on and backed by the assurance that you will be compensated for any expensive mistakes they make in the inspection and report.
Housebuyers need advice on so many legal, financial and building issues on buying homes property ( don't trust solicitors without understanding every word in the documents they work on for you)
We need a home buyers course of study, with a qualification run by honest experts who will at least pass on the right questions to ask and a few ways to protect our biggest lifetime investment and health.
After school would be a good time to find out how to choose and pay for a home rent or buy a home should be fit to live in.
use the sidewalk when you are roller blading
No one rollerblades anymore.
@@kittykat7858false
What this shows you when if a home inspector's report sounds to good to be true get a second opinion. Also, get all the building permits and if none are provided go down to the city office and check and make sure all sign offs were given.
and a third and fourth just to be sure cause if the third and fourth reveal more keep going till no more new issues get found cause home inspectors miss things
These people did not clean their furnace or the vacuum?? Ew. They had to have Mike and Damon teach them basic homeownership. Ugh.
exactly
What is the reason garbage disposals are not allowed in the home ?
The food and fat buildup clogs sewer pipes and the solids cause issues at water treatment facilities.
Did he call a garbage disposal a GARBERATOR?!
I know that camera has a pop-up flash,as I owned that model, but continuously triggering is silly
Expensive SLR in full auto mode, always.
I was hoping they would get rid of that side counter
You got to understand most housing inspectors are paid by the realtor to do this so they're not going to find anything bad
They are not paid by the realtor unless something shady is going on under the table. Buyers choose and hire the inspector, at least in the US.
Probably because the realtors pay off the inspectors, he definitely wanted them to buy the house
Flat roofs do not need to be sloped when EPDM membranes are used.
Water should not puddle for long periods, even on EPDM membranes.
@@doloresreynolds8145 it depends on how long “long” is. Wind, evaporation usually result in fast drying.
In this episode, I learned the homeowners are dirty people. Mike had to scold them for not cleaning the furnace. Also the central vac what do the people think the dirt magically dissapears? Hopefully they learn to be better housekeepers going forward. Although this episode is old and those kids are now adults and maybe the couple is divorced.
LOL 😅
What??? You're weird.
Let's just all agree that some people have no business owning a home
Why would they be divorced?… That’s a stupid and odd comment or statement to make!
@@Doing_it_right_the_first_time Possibly when you see how they are in this episode. Who knows though maybe they are like Calilou's parents and will always be together.
That's weird, forcing people to remove their garbage disposals? We have no silly laws here in the US for that fortunately.
No laws for that...YET.
In home incinerators were common at one time too.
No more lol
Why isn't the inspector held libel
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Mike I see so many home inspector that are not doing there job. I hope when you are gone fixing people home you show the city what kind of job there inspector are doing.
No, the trick is don’t use your eyes do it like you’re blind use your hand eye
When will people understand that a home inspector makes his living thru recommendations from realtors. Realtors want the most obvious ($ cheap fixes) thinks things reported. Hidden problems reported cost the realtor sales. Check on the checkers to see how tuff they are and not shills for realtors.
Rule of thumb: Never trust the inspection from the Realtor. Always hire your own inspector that isn't being referred by the Realtor and has no dog in the hunt.
This is a rerun?
There's another unofficial channel that previously posted some of these. Also, none are new. The longer episodes are mostly from 2009-2010 and the shorter ones from around 2003.
guess how many calls a REAL inspector gets from realtors? its zero
Most of this was on the homeowners
Restart your livestream! It’s frozen
Imagine having a bylaw that says you can't have a garbage disposal on your kitchen sink.
The greenies out there think you should be composting in a plastic bin instead. The Greenies like having rats, pests, and a horrible smell just outside your door.
Tell them to go stick their by-laws where the sun don't shine.
It probably means that the water treatment facility or the pipes in the municipality can't handle the food waste solids in the system. Should they raise taxes to improve the water treatment plant instead?
Our city doesn't allow them, as we're a relatively small city and our sewage treatment simply can't handle that kind of load. Some larger cities don't allow them because their treatment systems are totally overwhelmed.
The reasons you people are giving don't make sense. It's like telling people to poop less, it's ridiculous and does nothing.
Alot these Jobs is called maintenance
Are the home inspectors in Canada not regulated? The home inspector works for the buyer and if there are issues as a buyer you go back to the seller to have them fixed or no sale.seems like any Joe schmoe can become a home inspector in Canada and just take people's money that is foul as hell, yall need some regulation for that industry there or at least be able to sue the inspector over false/bad inspection
Inspectors are the BIGGEST joke in the industry, most are biased if they are employed by the realtors...check okay to SELL SELL SELL. Laws need to be passed to hold people accountable INCLUDING the sellers to pay for repairs up to 6 months or a year after the sale and levy HUGE fines for not disclosing actual hidden issues not reported and using the "we didnt know" is IGNORANT and not an excuse to get out of it
This couple should not own a home. The vacuum is so dirty that it sets off the smoke detectors?
Maybe they shouldn’t be parents either…
Duct cleaning is a scam.
Marriage is the biggest financial commitment... JK
wax on, wax off, plaster man
When working with mould, a mask really should be worn. Usually never seen on HomefulTV. They just breathe it in.😑
Based on what we saw here, I blame the home owner for at least half of the problems. The house is not clean at all. It is cluttered and grimy and they seem to be just occupying the house and not taking care of it. I would bet that they have rented for so long that they have no idea how to own a home.
dense
yes, my thoughts too. The central vac's main problem was dust. (very old dirt which could've been removed and cleaned by the owners). Same with the furnace. It needed the (yearly) cleaning, for which you make an appointment with a furnace guy. Not a big deal.
I don't see clutter. The garage and basement has stuff in it, but storage. My aunt is an OCD neat freak, and her house has more than this. I'm guessing you are a minimalist.
I will say that the majority of the issues with the house was the previous owners not maintaining the house.
@@wolfie7051 I'm not a minimalist, but I do see lots of stacks of stuff just thrown in a pile here and there.
Seems like a lot of common sense would have solved these small issues.
Is it only Canada where you can`t have disposals not true in U.S,
Love the content of these shows but the background music sucks.
It's funny that seemingly all of the contractors in these shows mispronounce "asphalt" ("ashfault") and "masonry" ("masonary"). Similarly, only about 20% of homeowners can pronounce "joists".
Potato, Potahto
Why do you insist on showing someone testing a wire with a death stick? If you test a wire and it warbles then there is current present - or maybe not - but, don’t touch it. If you test a wire and it doesn’t warble then, the only valid assumption you can make is that the death stick is broken so, don’t touch it.
Those things are dangerous and should be banned!
do these inspectors work for the realtor, and or are they related? puddling is normal.. sheesh.
They don't work directly for them. Agent recommends an inspector they know who won't find any issues. Agent gets the sale, inspector gets the work and buyer gets screwed.
I've watched several of these shows that Mike Holmes has done. With one exception I have yet to see him turning in the inspectors and/or contractors for all their faulty and dangerous work. If Mike and his team and other contractors aren't going to turn these people in, then anything that the bad contractors/inspectors do after should be on them. Don't complain and bitch about how horrible these people are if you're not going to do anything about it.
He has done episodes where he does turn them in and has had to go to court to testify. He doesn’t talk about it on every episode
they are wearing glass;s but not masks come on
I'm just wondering who pays for all this work done to the house in all my years of wouching this show I've never seen Mike give the owners a invoice at the end of the show please explain to me
Homeowners pay a small percentage and show covers the rest. Some labor and materials are donated by companies featured in the show.
