Hire a GOOD professional. The one we hired told us we needed to replace our water heater. He said our electric water heater was about to go. Anyway, when we checked it out... the water heater was fine... and it is gas. O_o
i'd venture to say that if your house is more than 25 seconds old you probably have mold somewhere. even then, there's a good chance your brand new house has it.
I heard a home inspector state someone used primer on plastic ac drain pipe did not know what he was doing. I asked him what harm did primer do. He could not answer question. I ran him off the property. The realtor left my gate open. I ran him off property also.
Just because mold is black in color doesn't mean it's "black mold". It needs to be tested. Also, I hope you had permission from the homeowner to film in their house, making all these assumptions for anyone to see.
In mY OPINION when talking about ANYTHING from an INSPECTOR standpoint- BACK it UP with ACTUAL TESTS- thats called EVIDENCE- YOU DONT WANT TO BE be CAUGHT in the wrong as ANY KIND of an INSPECTOR...YES, the contract protects you somewhat UNTIL challenged in a court of LAW-ONCE the word gets out YOUR DONE-FINISHED in that BUSINESS! BE VERY careful showing things on any social outlet that can and WILL come back to haunt you later- Trust and inspection thats VERIFIED with REAL TOOLS, MOLD TESTER -LAB, etc...........flir etc.............EVIDENCE is VERY IMPORTANT as an INSPECTOR of any type!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I bet there is standing water under the house. The moisture will always gravitate to the path of least resistance. In this case up through the floor. Also the poor roofing may also allow water to penetrate through. Leakey roofs can channel water behind the walls and not make itself evident for years. This is not going to be cheap to remedy.
A license doesn't mean anything. Just like anybody can get a builder's license with a little book study. You need someone who tears these kinds of houses apart on a regular basis and fixes them.
Not true that everyone needs home inspections. If a buyer such as myself has knowledge, skills and abilities plus cash sale, do not waste money on scammers.
@@terryanderson4366 Good luck with that. Every home needs to be inspected. Everyone thinking they are “skilled,” is exactly why inspectors are needed in the first place.
Well I don't think gutters would have fixed the entire water problem. If there is 'black' mold in the house. There is a more serious water problem than the roof.. ;)
This video looks to me like they are out to SELL something hoping they can cash in on public panic. Contact your State University who will be MORE than happy to assist you with any concerns about mold! There is a good chance you will be able to avoid getting ripped off by those just wanting to drum up business!
I would not hesitate to buy that house if the price was right. Negative grade, oh brother. A little secret, every house has mold somewhere, every house has a leak, every house has mice, every house has ants. The only question is how the issue is dealt with.
I rolled my eyes when he mentioned the "black mold" in the closet. It's just mildew from a house that had the AC shut off and little ventilation. Wipe it it off with cleaner.
This is about the worst case senecio of how an overactive bad client can sabotage an inspection. You just know this video is going to cost the inspector business.
Its a waste of money, they need 16 hours of training in classroom and work 70 hours in the field to get a licence. Call a professional tradesman to get things checked out
@@thomasmarable6818 Maybe in YOUR state. As a training home inspector, I can tell you I WISH I needed 16 hours. Please don’t slander a job you really don’t know about. Either you don’t know or your state just has very loose requirements.
I wonder how the homeowner feels about the inspector letting people wander thru their home and trashing it on camera for posting on the net. Looks like a hit job to me . Nothing there was a big problem. Except maybe the herd of morons invading the owners privacy.
who's going to fire him, he's probably the owner. besides, he didn't make the video, the realtors did. but, if they didn't have permission, were i the owner i'd be highly pissed.
On porous surfaces, bleach can drive the mold in deeper. If I'm not mistaken, vinegar is a DIY alternative. Concrobium really seals the deal on smaller projects though.

Sensationlized video, exaggerated, portrays the inspector and the house to look worse than they probably are. This was just surface observations without getting into the real condition of the property. I would not allow paparazzi during a home inspection. This whole deceptive production is "whats gone wrong".
I don't know about "anybody". In my state to be a certified home inspector, you must take a 180 hour course, 40 hours of field training, and pass a state mandated test.
@@3people100 in my state to be an electrician must have 4000 classroom hours and 8000 hours in field to have a home inspector say there are defects in a panel that meet the electrical code, thank god my state acknowledge this so the electrician reports over rides a home inspectors
anyone can become a licensed/certified inspector but that does not equate to being qualified. That just means they are allowed to "learn on the job". It's incumbent on the consumer to make sure their inspector is experienced and competent.
LMAO its a block house you will have mold I live in a block house and yes it does have some mold but it was no different when we bought it 13 years ago it just won't go away even after remodeling the whole house
Its unknown if its actual black mold or just severe mildew.. Not the inspectors place to comment ..just recommend testing to confirm ...
Hire a GOOD professional. The one we hired told us we needed to replace our water heater. He said our electric water heater was about to go. Anyway, when we checked it out... the water heater was fine... and it is gas. O_o
this inspector has no right calling anything black mold without first having it analyzed.
Very True
Shut the fuck up Joel Lee.
@@arrowjsmith153 unfortunately he's right is that what triggered you? 😂😂
All I heard was the buyer saying black mold, not the inspector..
@@southerncaliforniahomeinsp925 2:22
A lot of the surface mold especially on the couch is being caused by the humidity and broken ac
Ever notice if your home value goes down your taxes still stay the same or go up . NOT RIGHT !!!
One of the first faults discovered was the faulty A/C. Fix the A/C and roof and watch how fast the 'mold' disappears ... ;)
Definitely would help but the negative grading and a wet crawl space would be my biggest concern

If house is knowingly mold infested, why is inspector not wearing gloves and face masking?

all mold is bad and dangereous read about it
its common sense

@@bryangatewood6749 nope still have to test it.
Aaron all mold needs to be cleaned according to the EPA. Testing is a waste of money and pointless you should go straight to remediation.

Good video. Greetings from a Detroit home inspector.
Inspectors worst nightmare is having the potential buyer follow you with a camera like TMZ
cheap ass house flippers done goofed

ALWAYS, ALWAYS get a licensed home inspector to check out the house before closing on a house!!!! ;)

@@abacab87 Yup. People need well-reviewed inspectors. Not the realtor's inspector, not the seller's, not some fly-by-night guy, get a GOOD inspector.

If they had gutters on the house it would of helped prevent a lot of moister getting in and through the foundation.

I was thinking the same thing! Where are the friggin gutters??
Unfortunately mold is in just about everything on earth. You will never get away from it especially in wet climate areas.

Yes
I suppose the home was insuficeintly heated, leading to mold? People trying to save their gassbill destroys their home...

Looks like normal mold to me. Black mold is rare, and unless you test it you cannot say it's black mold
The home inspector has no idea what he's talking about
This is NOT a home inspection GONE WRONG!! Its just a home inspection with lots of problems. CLICK BAIT!!!!!
Timothy Luzier do u need a safe space?
@@ravagesoyjoy You can take your safe space and fuck off.
It did go wrong....for the sellers.
The inspection didn't go wrong---the house did
Ok im bugging now. I dont clean the insides of the frames of windows ever.
Isn't there a kit to test of its mold. ?
Did the inspector go under the house? I'd be interested to have a little peak I can do it without getting sick
Get a home inspection It's worth the money folks

Many home inspectors are those who think they know. A tradesman can actually see reality.

No gutters? lol
Those are not 20-year shingles. Those are maximum 15 years usually 10 years.
It’s a staged house. How is there mold on the couch?

Just walk away.... it that easy..or make an offer accordingly.
Tell these home inspectors are inexperienced probably just got there certificate the other day and no nothing about construction.

This home inspector should have lost his job over this video.
who's going to fire him, he's probably the owner. besides, he didn't make the video, the realtors did. but, if they didn't have permission, were i the owner i'd be highly pissed.
Why?
Why?
Because he can not say it black mold without text
Floor looks fine a little bleach will kill all the mold.
