I appreciate your professionalism, speaking to this man like a human and not putting him down, im sure he is embarrassed and hopefully is willing to fix his mistakes.
pretty difficult to "fix his mistakes" if he doesn't know how or what it takes to do his job.
@robsmith6087 if he doesn't know how fair call, but he could of had a bad employee do the work, or this guy could be the bad worker either way he has now been shown the right way to do it and has no excuses.
Stuff his feelings .
People work their guts out to own a property and something like this can financially ruin them
@@michael04111986 exactly . . this is what we get nowadays. Pussies running the show, and bugger the realities of hard earned dollars being stolen by these cock-heads !!!!!!!!!!!!! FFS
He just wants paid so he can get to the pub. This is a major annoyance.
You pointed out both WHAT was wrong, WHY it was wrong and the damages it might lead to, and HOW to fix it. Job well done, hopefully he takes all that information and improves his work in the future.
Unfortunately, if you don't know what your are doing in the first place, all the advice is meaningless and the shoddy work will be tiled over before you know it. It's my understanding that, in Victoria, there is no requirement for waterproofing to be inspected before tiling is done and there was no waterproofing licence requirement until maybe recently. .
Trust me he doesn’t care. He’s like “we will deal with it later in the future”
@@TankTheSpank yeah getting that feeling .. he just doesn't care.. it's just a job.. no pride in his work etc
Welcome to day 1 of trade school! Now that you've been playing around with paying customers homes for a few weeks, it's time to learn how waterproofing works!
I mean fair enough, he was probably hired by some guy for the same wage as a Wendys fry cook, what do you expect? Anyone who knows how to do their job well, has created their own business already
@@jg7038 the issues comes down to whether this guy claimed he knew how to do this job. Or if the guy hiring him didn't care to check if he knew.
If he hired the guy and just expected him to do this without gecking if he knew how the it's in he guy who hired him. He could have literally just done what his guy did and told him in 5 minutes exactly how it needed doing.
But if the guy got hired because he said he could do it, and he's doing stuff like this then he doesn't really know what he's doing.
This is probably the only training that he has ever gotten…
@@pat8988 Honestly wouldn't be surprised. The few times I bothered with the construction industry, it was a mix between people who gave a damn like the inspector, and people who clearly gave zero damns and taught nothing while expecting you to just know everything.
It was incredibly frustrating.
You communicated the points while being professional. We need inspectors like you in the US. Clearly that contractor needs supervision.
He's young.
A COURT AND CONTRACTOR ACCOUNTABILITY WITH LEGAL RECORDS AND RECOURSES. ASAP!
Supervision or babysitting? These things aren't really rocket surgery. If they are unable to do these very simple things right, there isn't much hope. Maybe they fit better to make pizza instead?
Morons
All contactor's need supervision !!!
This is exactly why I love inspectors. I'm a carpenter, and do the best work I can. We all have to remember when doing permits, inspections, all that stuff, that inspectors are there in the end to make sure we all do good work that lasts. Love it.
inspections are fine
it's the people doing them who are often a pain in the neck

Mate I absolutely applaud and respect you heaps for how you spoke to the guy in the most professional and dignified manner without being nasty or rude to him, and doing your best to explain your points. Well done!
By pointing out oin mens stuff and asking ,, is it your rubbish'' like it was only thing there - clearly fucking cowboy here
Btw. Its a paint - just paint another layer u fucking einsteins
WHERE IS THAT STATES' INSPECTORS? WHAT LEGAL CONSTRUCITON TEST FOR A BUILDER'S LICENSE? ONLY WHEN CONTRACTORS ARE HELD! ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE STATES' TERMS OF A BUILDERS LIABILITY WITH ENFORCEMENTS, WILL CONSUMERS JUSTICE BECOME AMERICAN STANDARD.
@@georgedunkelberg5004 , WHY ARE YOU SHOUTING?
The waterproofer responding with a tired “yeah” and “right” and “yep” for every major defect is… concerning.
yeah he couldn't give a shit.
@@DanTuber agreed Mate. When my boss educated me, I took written notes, photos/videos on my phone. Those responses are what I saw when he spoke to some other apprentices who just 'punched the clock'...
They are probably the only words he knows.
That's all of the English language that he knows .
Zero f*cks. He doesn't care.
Lights are on but I'm not sure anybody is home.
I learned a lot with this clip, thank you for teaching him rather than insulting him like many others would, not sure why your video was suggested to me, but I loved every moment of it.
When I did waterproofing, I would scrape surfaces, hammer in any nails that were proud, sweep and typically wipe the surface with a slightly damp sponge before I would start to ensure surface was clean and level for coating. I had a very experienced boss to teach me when doing my apprenticeship.
Just shows how important a good mentor and role model is.
It’s really just common sense- with or without a good mentor. Who puts any kind of proofing, glue or anything of the sort straight on top of construction waste. It’s either laziness or incompetence
@@ahj3225 people tend to emulate the behaviour of what they've been taught and those around them. If they had people around them not caring, then they tend to follow those standards, even if they know better.
Waterproofing isnt a recognised trade. You never did an apprenticeship in waterproofing haha
@@juicedupfreak I was doing a floor and wall tiling apprenticeship and waterproofing was one of the tasks I was taught as part of that. What is your trade or basis for comment?
Explaining code to a waterproofer is like explaining cricket to a goose.
that clown was just some kid there's some really good tradies out there
Do you really believe there are 0 good tradies out there?
@@SB-zd3pq close
@@SB-zd3pq there probably isn't anymore tbh after the covid cull 😂
Meanwhile it costs hundreds and thousands of dollars just to get access to the standards to know what the even code is.
An educated inspector that cares about the customer. My mind is blown. I wish we had them in the states to inspect all these track homes that are built like absolute shit. 🍻. Great work.
ARE YOU SAYING THAT A FEW "INSPECTORS" VACATION ON EPSTEINS ISLAND?
this is priceless for this man. you tell him how to do his job perfectly! i bet he has no idea how much help you gave him.
A professional should not have to be educated about how to do his job properly. It's absurd.
Cause learning only happens once folks, remember that.
do they get these workmen off the street with no experience? 🙃🤡
HAHAHAHA , all that work is DEFECTIVE and Non compliant
He is listening but I don’t think anything has gotten through.
Seems more like he is waiting for him to leave and has zero plans to do anything.
would be interested to see if he fixes the faults you pointed out, also you are such a gentleman the way you explained it to him your a good egg
I was in a rental property about 10 years ago and the bathrooms had to be redone. When the waterproofer, an older guy, came in we got to chatting. I got a sense that he had had enough of the game and was looking to retire but he told me that a lot of waterproofing is done poorly so that it fails and they can get more work when it needs to be redone. He wasn't joking.
I don't think he is the waterproofing licence holder - he is cheap labour, unfortunately poorly supervised.
Yep it should be the supervisor to review this guys work and help him learn, not to learn his trade from the building inspector.
@orza1 it's definitely a new kid who is barely learning his trade
I wish the builder did that in our home 24 years ago! We're now finding faults when we have to reno prior to sale! We needed someone like you to oversee our build! Job well done and the way you explained the problems!!👍🏻
When are you going to set up the Site Inspections Trade School?
Yes
Unfortunately, you still need people that WANT to learn. Clearly most simply don't because this is the information age and if they wanted to, they could.
@awakenotwoke1973 I envisage an elite trade school with graduates who will be in high demand.
@@tinaryan4023 That can only occur if the authorities start sanctioning the cowboys.
Cheapest quote
Dont wear your shoes on a waterproofed surface, you should be in your socks to ensure you dont have any sharp objects stuck in your boots, because if u do, all your doing is putting pin holes all through the waterproofing
By the looks of what he found, it needed another coat of the waterproofing everywhere anyway.
You are an example of an utmost professional at his job mate. Thanks for looking after the honest Australians who just wants a compliant home.
Bro.......That is a South African person speaking.......no where near an OZZY..........pfft

huh i sensed calm before the storm waving that 6 inch blade around as he explained.. as if to say "i dare you argue"
Are inspections like this required for the construction of most (if not all) dwellings in Australia? It's a bit frightening to live in a building which was put together by someone who's not even aware of the minimum standards..
Thank you for your work to ensure the homes we sink our hard earned money into are safe and compliant. You've earned a sub from me.
PLEASE post a job that you would deem is at least 95% work excellence. I'd like to see what meets the standard or exceeds them.
Must be a rare job.

He didn’t give a single fuck mate.
I’m guessing he didn’t understand anything you were saying.
How many bathrooms does that house have? Jesus looks like an open floor apartment block LOL
"It's not my job".
How lazy, the shortcuts across most trades are embarrassing.

@@MattSeenUFO in my experience trades earning $800 a day serve up the same slop.
I agree the new home market rates are lower, but it's an industry wide issue. With a lack of training and at worse customer ripoff mentality.
Wow you certainly made that guy's day.
I really hope he took what you said seriously and repaired his work. And let's hope he takes this knowledge onto his next job.
Any chance of a follow-up.
✌️ Peace.
Guarantee he doesn't fix it and learns nothing.
@niallms83 no shit, what's with all the dumb fucking comments making out that tradie will care? Seriously are people that useless at reading people? No wonder the system is falling apart...
I bet he didn't understand a word the inspector said and is probably being sued as we speak
Water proofers are the laziest Kent's I've seen, never once seen them prep a floor, paint that shit on the floors and get out is there motto. You pull the whole sheet up in one piece and they already know everything your telling them they just don't give an ef
i like how you give him the benefit of a doubt and teach him how to do it properly, when in 99% of cases they know exactly what they need to do but are being lazy
LAZY! IS YOUR COP-OUT FOR QUICK PROFITS. EVEN WHEN HE DOES IT TO "CODE" IT WILL NEVER CREATE THE SLAM-BANG-C-U-LATER MAMTALITY OF THE PREGNANT TOMORROW AND TOMORROW AND TOMORROW.
This inspector is excellent. Knows his stuff and speaks to the tradie politely but firmly with good explanations of what he expects.
Wrong, he should have the ability to remove that obviously unskilled and unqualified labourer from the site immediately. Not waste his time whatsoever telling him how the standards are.
@@HomeAutomated-v2r he's a private inspector. They don't have authority to do that. If you have a problem with it, complain to your government. They make the rules.
@@HomeAutomated-v2r even skilled ones require supervision
@@HomeAutomated-v2rif you mean by remove, do you mean get him sacked? (If not sacked what do you mean, if he's just removed from site he'll just be moved onto different site).
If you mean sacked, dude that's getting into Judge Dredd territory. What if you get an incompetent inspector?! Then what? Guy's lost his livelihood over an incompetent inspector.
Zeher, much respect for taking the time to try and educate the young fellow, you're so very calm but to the point, explaining, demonstrating, in an approachable way to engage him. I think all of us here got a good primer in waterproofing too ☺️ You're a lovely, ethical man who's very patient explaining things and teaching all of us along the way. Your humour is hilarious too 😂 Education/knowledge is power. Thank you for doing this, it must add to your days of inspecting and writing reports and everything, doing these videos. I really don't know how Netflix or someone hasn't snapped you up for a tv series yet ☺️
Thank you 🙏
he didnt need to be any other way since he was waving a 6inch blade around whilst explaining.
What a valuable lesson! Many would scream at him for something like that. Your patience and understanding is commendable.
he's not screaming at him because he's just the inspector. it's not his money, time, or material. the screaming most likely came when the dude had to call his boss and tell him the good news.
Good job mate probably and hopefully saved a lot of other jobs down that track. Love how you took the time to explain how to do it. Some people never get that chance. And for 99 percent of tradies they never see that job after it’s been finished. This explains what can happen years later and why it’s important to fix it now. Hopefully the knowledge is passed on. Sad for the bloke but this it all part of becoming great at what you do. Learning and making mistakes
NO THE MISTAKE IS THE PROFIT WITHOUT ACCOUNTABILITY AFTER XXX YEARS. STUPID HOME PURCHASESERS WHO THINK THAT REGULATORS WON'T BE BOUGHT.....AS SCOTUS' MAY FISH-FRYING EXEMPLIFIES.
Never trust a tradie in track pants...
Thought they'd teach this in the first week of trade school. Can you please post a video of a job done well? As someone building a house all these bad builds scare me.
Trade school?!?! This guys come in from India on a "student" visa, never attend classes and all work cash in hand as labourers. They arent trade skilled.
These are the videos you want to see if you are building as it means you know what to look out for, you don't want Rainbow and Unicorn videos and just trust the "professionals" building you'r home to be honest and know what they are going

I can bet this worker/kid doesn't really care xD Can assume that he is just a worker, maybe even a temp. He did 95% correct, missed the "details".. By the time lawsuits come 5+ years from now, he'll be long gone xD
This is gonna sound weird, but inspectors like you would make me wanna get into this business. Like as much as I’d love to pretend to be perfect, mistakes get made, and having someone calmly and professionally explain them like this is great.
And you did all this for what looks like not even actual mistakes, a sloppy spot or two is a mistake, but when the sloppiness is a consistent theme … yeah.
I hope he took the criticism to heart and learns from this.
I have to say it, waterproofing under the screed is the worst way to go about it, it creates trapped/pooling water in wet the areas. The guy says it himself, 'you are making a mini swimming pool'.
The only way this makes sense to me, is its a faster way to get the job done.
Australia should change its standards here.
Tradesman. Where. ?

Fantastic to see a building inspection done the way they should be done, it was really good and professional the way you showed the water proofing guy the fault he needed to fix and why it needed to be done now rather that latter when there would be huge amounts of costs if it isn't fixed up now. I hope you never loose the passion for doing the right thing for your customers. God bless you
builders are continuing to employing cheap migrant labour without prior experience.. shame shame shame
He's not going to fix it lol.
Why isn't there light in this rats nest
You shouldn't need a flashlight to point out work. Miserable working condtions
I genuinely wish all inspectors were like you - highly knowlegeable of what to look for, and pointing out actual defects and problems that will have an impact on the integrity of the house. Sadly, a lot of inspectors only got the job because they failed trade school, and as a result only know how to nit-pick on absolutely irrelevant BS.
Doubt this tradie is the actual contractor - more than likely either an apprentice or just someone working for him - but here's to hoping he learns from his mistakes.
In QLD, they don't even need insurance to operate. So when you get a dodgy inspector who say passes a leaking roof. They just claim bankruptcy, and your screwed either way. So it doesn't matter how competent they are.
man i hate that polyurethane garbage, its meant for retaining walls and fish ponds, nothing on the market is guaranteed to stick to it. the bitumen stuff years ago was no good either.
Good stuff. Anyone can criticize one mans work but takes a man to teach one's, ones's work
He ain't gonna fix it. He don't give a f@$k
My son is literally getting his bathroom done next week, we’ve done the demolition and the reason it has to be redone is because the shower leaked. The bathroom was there when they bought the house 6 months ago and the bathroom was only a couple of years old but someone didn’t do the wet seal properly. Thanks so much. Cheers Stuart, Canberra.
All due respect to the duty of inspection... what the hell is an end-grain log doing going through a tanked wall?
Don’t they teach waterproofing on Manus Island?
What surprises me is good builders are absolutely pedantic about waterproofing. I've had two bathrooms done and both builders wanted to employ high quality water proofers so they wouldn't have issues down the track. Builders don't want to have replace bathrooms due to dodgy water proofing. Im shocked builders aren't supervising the waterproofing. In my two jobs both builders checked the water proofing thoroughly. Similarly although I didn't know what to look for the water proofing looked really well done. Its not rocket science you need to form a tub like structure with the waterproofing so the water has nowhere to go.
Now you need to educate most of the roof plumbers!
Im looking forward to it, I’ll be sure to get that on body cam 😎

Building Inspector 101
Step 1: *NON COMPLIANT*
I don't think he understood a word. Water proofing is so important but I can't fathom how he has no idea. Surely the tiler and builder know
I lived in an apartment in an inner suburb of Brisbane Australia. One evening there was a large bang from the bathroom. A water line had exploded under the sink. The water filled the bathroom with 200mm of water before I could even open the door. The water then filled the ceiling of the apartment underneath. The neighbour rang my doorbell and asked me to come look. Her whole living room ceiling had formed a gigantic balloon. I poked it with my finger and it popped. Hundreds of litres of water dropped into her living room floor and destroyed everything. It was because my bathroom wasn't waterproofed. The repairs ran over $75,000. The builder had to pay. Moral of the story....just do the waterproofing properly.
Scary that a "specialist waterproofer" is being schooled at basics.
Cleaning a surface to stick anything to it is about as basic as it gets. Everyone should know that.
This is simply bottom dollar getting the lazy quick job by someone who did a few hours of basic classes and is "qualified". Probably gets away with it by phoenixing companies every few years before his poor work becomes obvious.
Really need to start naming and shaming these people with a national register.
Looks good by far BUT far from good 😂
Carpenter of 40yrs, yes wet areas need thorough attention to detail but the way you handled the situation was excellent, getting your point across without raised voices, but yes always worth spending a bit more time to get things right first time.
Building a house or buying a new apartment must be terrifying these days.
Maybe its different down under but trying to sue someone in the trades is a joke in America. The company wont exist in five years; phones disconnected, moved location, and changed names.
Pretty much the same in Australia.
Did you check if he understands English? 😂😂😂Don't accept "yes" and "yeah. Ask him to explain what you just showed him 😂😂😂
You guys should have the authority to check their credentials.
100% this. Guy probably didn't get anything that was said to him.
Having been a waterproofer / ceramic Tiler for 30 years over 10 years ago , this guy cannot be licensed, no primer looks like one coat , and doesn’t even know how to apply properly, maybe he needs to go do a course and buy a vacuum as well. That’s a disgrace. The builders need to do better when hiring these people they always go for the cheapest rather than the best, no comebacks is the only way to waterproof,
Probs got his "qualifications" from Manus island 😁
That's great communication and pointing out what the issues are with some resolve. I use similar compounds although I'm not a great fan of the adhesion as its not great when things are good, will b be interesting to see how these things pan out over the years.
Is such substandard work the result of incompetence, laziness - or both??????????????????????? Disgraceful.
I don't think he has any questions...It's not likely when he has no idea.
I wonder if he fixed it
I wish you new you a few years ago bro. The bullshit I have had to go through with my new townhouse. It’s unbelievable the lack of quality workmanship in the trades now.
Seriously 😳 why is someone who clearly has no idea about the job they’re doing working on that house, especially waterproofing, it’s a super critical job that needs to be done correctly the first time, how many other houses has he done and who is signing off on the waterproofing prior to tiling 🤦♂️ there is NO excuse for this level of incompetence
Do you think any of it sank in or he just didn't give a toss?
In one ear and out the other. Hey mate, grab a pen and write this down.
I get the impression theyre totally aware of the non compliant defects theyre leaving at sights. In order to fulfil their work to a compliant level it must just be an extrapain in the arse or cost them a lot more in labour. So they leave it until theyre caught and face zero consequences as per usual
Yeah but if done right properly it probably would only have taken an hour longer and saved thousands of dollars to the company and owner
That was a waste of time - you’re taking to someone who doesn’t care or is interested. You needed to speak to the main contractor / boss -
This bloke won’t remember 5% of what you’ve gone through - I can remember about 6 %
Because of you mate, whenever I’m out and about I’m looking for defects and non compliance work on houses haha keep up the good work
I used to do it on cars (paint, panel gaps and shit). Because of this channel now im doing this shit on houses too.
🤣
@@Mr_jz_12 Hahaha 😂
we have a crime scene, 00:26 - are you the water proofer>?

What's this guy know, "Adhesion & waterproofing is bought in a can" - says the waterproofer - 🙄
Genuinly curious and don't want to sound insensitive, but was this guy trained in Australia? He doesn't seem to know how to do his job and he's been left unsupervised. If you weren't there, the owner would be in a world of trouble once that home is built. I'm guessing this is not uncommon as well. How do these guys get their trade licences and who is checking their work is up to standard? I look at some of the homes in other countries and the workmanship here is so bad, I'm almost considering moving somewhere else. We are a wealthy and educated country, but there seems to be a real lack of care across several trades and industries. People take no pride in their work and don't care if they ruin someones home. It's pretty disgusting tbh.
Lack of skill and knowledge is the future of building/manufacturing in this country. "Aussie made" will be as good as "China made", you can already see the signs. You reap what you sow, and we have sown bad seed, in poor ground, with little or no pest control. The education system is broken and unrepairable, under the current "two-party" system.
Let the lesson commence... Reminds me with junior developers and showing them how many ways their code is insecure and not fault tolerant... Reminds me of the old saying, if builders built buildings the way programmers wrote programs, then the first woodpecker that came along would destroy civilisation.. Although, from what your finding, Australia might be the first to go....
I assume the builder has hired a contractor with a trade license for waterproofing. If so then the licence should be revoked and further training before reissuing. Mind you I wonder about the training!!
I see him standing around with his hands in his pockets, exhibiting NO understanding. Never once getting down and looking at it closely. Asking NO questions.
I'd call the gc and explain the problem with this employee, not to get him fired, but get him educated.
His company will be closed by the time you get and home and they’ll never be able to get ahold of him again 😂😂😂
Why aren't home owners/builders doing their job? If you tell each contractor that an inspection will be carried out on their work and any work that doesn't meet the standards will be redone at their cost, including a penalty for holding the job up. This will also encourage other contractors, like tilers for example, not to tile over non-compliant work. The tradies themselves will push others not to cut corners.
Consequences for actions, that's all that is required here.
and that's his only job, he's a "water-proofer" and he can't do, or know his job ????? FFS ! This is ridiculous. 4:23 and 6:20 , this guy had no frickin' idea what he was looking at. These people should be criminally charged, and sent back to whence they came from
A bit unrelated, but I found that my house HVAC ducts have large cut out holes facing up toward the floor joists. The installer used scrap pices or made mistakes so they just faced these pices upward, out of eye sight. The fuckers
The QLD gov trains waterproofers in QLD. They don’t get refresher courses, check ups or updated standards. It causes so much damage and unnecessary cost. Of all the trades waterproofing needs the most attention.
Hope that in the scope of your services, that you create and deliver to the future homeowner, a complete phase by phase inventory of what you’ve found and what needed to be remediated, along w/ whatever proof is required to verify remediation… as a person that has bought 13 homes over the last 30+ yrs, this would be something that I’d willing pay for out of pocket and then seek reimbursement from the builder/seller at closing time
I'd rather buy a 2nd hand established house or a caravan today.. Wouldnt trust any building mob unless it's myself
How is this guy a waterproofing contractor??? Unfortunately, the building industry is now full of half-arsed workers doing a cheap job cheaply.
