Kudos to the DIY electrical guy setting up the growhouse that had all of that wiring up to code. Impressive. The best thing about the entire home.
As a former inspector, someone should be held accountable. That should have never passed. And the reports are legal documents, someone should look into them. They're probably taking bribes to pass the house. I've been offered money many times but it's never a good idea. It's illegal and dangerous.
In the US most inspectors will give you a period of time to catch a problem they missed and if they did miss it they will pay for the repairs.
@@allenmartin7193 correct
yes but this is Canada where only half the people can speak English.@@allenmartin7193
Hey Mike….with all those outlets, insulated garage, indoor garden hose and all the odors looks like a “self-made” growing operation not outlets for computers! But once again where are the permits and proper home inspection should have caught ALL that! What a mess…. Good work!
Exacty my thought as well
Grow house for sure, electrical for lights and water and the flooding. If it was computers you would see a/c duct work to keep them cool.
I thought that, came straight to the comments to see if I was being too cynical. Nope!
the inspectors need to start beign held acoutnable. to miss all that that is in visual range is idiotic
she also said there was an "awful" smell in the house that just wouldn't go away.
I’m beginning to think Mike is a vampire! The man hasn’t aged in all the years I’ve watched him!
I have watched Mike and his crew for years, and he has always shown honesty and integrity
Something most of people were untill 40-50 years ago. Now, thanks to the left, lack of accountability and the progressivism, its rare.
18:14 The cameraman snickering was great😄 So glad she's getting help. I use these as my "Faith in Humanity" playlist.
Hearing her say, "I was trying so hard," just shot through me.
I have always loved Mike and his whole crew... it is so funny when the electrical and plumbing guys walk into the house and go " oh HELL no ... This is all coming out and I'm gonna redo it right".. also Damon seems to be taking everything that Mike shows and wants... and is turning into an AWESOME young version of Mike, to help carry on the great work. Seeing Mike's son and daughter taking active part and learning skills and trades and the compassion is also awesome.
What you are doing for this woman is nothing short of amazing. She is the most deserving homeowner that you have ever helped.
Mike and his crew are amazing. I think they old work in Canada. We need more people like Mike to make things right and arrest these awful home inspectors for nearly causing the house to burn down.
We more like him everywhere!
Yes I remember the series on Netflix i think? thot I had just missed times n no neyflix. The one house they basically had to tesr down to foundation? just a shell. It seems like the laws in Canada hadn't included foundation connections and sime beliw groundcwork anyway. Cause he was winging it on what would work? idk? But it was very enjoyable!! as is this!
This was definitely a grow house.
all the outlet fishy then water damage o i see grow house then water was detour then more power outlet lol ye no SHT
Was going to comment when I saw your post.
Definity.
Edit: This might have been a bitcoin mine, An examination of electrical usage of the last tenants would tell the tale...........
Agreed someone was lazy about carrying water to the closet/then they converted to a laundry room/ Closet is the key for me...
Yes. I bet there was mold in the attic from the humidity. At 31:05 you can see the attic has been painted.
Either grow house or data miner
The Holmes crew are rock stars. Awesome work
Why are such incompetent inspectors not prosecuted? The missed problems are almost criminal
Mike, thanks for your videos.
My daughter bought a house in the country. The inspector didn't catch that 1/3 of the floor joists were rotted out. He didn't catch that there was a panic room under the stairs.
Was anyone in it? Lol
@@norfolkngood8960 They bought it from the original owners. It is sad what all they had to do to it. No one was in there but there were 25 cartons of cigarettes in the half bath in there. I told him it would make a great gun safe.
How does one see 16 outlets right on top of each other like that, or even a hose running through the basement like that and not be like this is fishy? Even me, not a home inspector, would look at that and be like..."that's not normal"
'not normal' does not mean 'not legal'.
No one can determine what 'is normal' for anyone else. Wanna see my radio room? I have way more outlets than that.
I agree with original comment. This is the first episode I've seen where he points his finger at the homeowner for a few things.
They really push to sell that victim mentality
Forget code! Where have you EVER seen a garden hose hooked up to the faucet and coiled up under a vanity?
Do you ever see wires stapled to the finished ceiling of a friend's house?
No!
Yes the home inspectors can be incompetent, but come on, some of these are no Brainerd.
Sometimes these people acted like the realtor put a gun to their head to buy even when they're suspicious about stuff.
I'm glad she got help though
@@Scubamike4499 It was kinda suggested in the beginning that that was the money issue. I think they got what they could.
Honestly, if I were touring that house as a prospective buyer, one look at those outlets would have ended that tour. They are that bizarre.
@@Scubamike4499 She did know and accepted the house. Maybe the house was even a deal between the owners (city) realtor and inspector and off caused the new owner (here). In some city or states policemen/women is getting a cheaper house because of location or seized property. 😮
Mike, I remember well when this show first aired. Thank you for bringing it back, and thank you for helping Kathie in her time of need. I can intimately comprehend and understand what you've given this fine lady. I can feel for her because I've also worn that pair of shoes.... Carl, Washoe County Sheriff's Office, Reno, NV, Deputy Sheriff, retired....
I worked for 20 years as an architectural technologist and surveyors would come into the practice and ask how stuff was upposed to work, what shocked me on occasions was how basic some of the stuff was like how damp proofing worked.
As a general contractor for over 30 years, you know you did well when they happy cry...:)...
Love Holmes! Beautifully done! Love your works, been watching for years! BeBless!❤
How wonderful! A great kitchen, all the issues fixed, and the garage updated to be usable and safe. So many things to make that place a home! Great work that is trustworthy! The Holmes touch!
Thank you for doing this for such a deserving person. The house is something we spend our whole life trying to aim for and payoff. People need a decent chance at a good home
It’s a good idea when deciding to purchase a house to look at permits for any work done prior. We bought a house recently that was in the middle of a renovation. We called the city and the inspectors and they were really helpful. One of the city inspectors actually met with us at the house and showed us the permits to give us some peace of mind. He walked us through the entire house to show us everything that needed to be done to close the remaining permits. Don’t rely on the seller or a home inspector to do this for you.
If you suspect the home has issues, bring both a contractor and a home inspector. The home inspector can try catching flaws, the contractor will probably find more and tell you a rough cost of repairs and how extensive the damage could be.
Bonus tip, if your home is newly built, trying looking up the builders or asking around to see if they do good work.
I told the guy at the brick where to deliver furniture and he said “oh no not that place, those guys are terrible builders.”
Another great episode, the only problem I see is, what’s stopping the original home inspector from doing this again to another family and then we’re back to square one
Beautiful woman 0wner...she deserved you all...love to everyone. xxoo

IS VERY SATISFACTORY WATCHING YOURS VÍDEOS!!!
I LOVE THIS!!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤
MIKE YOU AND YOUR TEAM ARE GREAT PEOPLE!!
Mike this was a pot growing house with grow lights & multiple computers to conduct business. This looks like the warehouse I rented that got busted. 💕🤟
Grow house was my first thought when I saw that bizarre electrical. I felt that the hose under the sink just confirmed it.
Ok !
ngl thought it was a crypto bro at first but this makes a lot more sense, though shes gonna need to be careful and hope that everyone who is in that business already knows that the house has changed hands and not come knocking for something like that
Wiring looks too neat for a grow house, plus no associated mould problems.
A location like that is too near the neighbours.
I'd go with crypto.
This episode is from 2009-2010, it’s not crypto. It was 100% a grow op.
Wonderful for this lady and her daughter.
This was my first episode, so thank you for the gift you gave her and believe me by tonight I would have watch 15 episodes at least. From Regenald from Namibia 🇳🇦💌
She was the most grateful guest😢 soo sweet
ok I cried when she cried at the kitchen... so glad these guys helped her ...
Never seen this series before. I have the feeling that it has a more possitive outcome than Extreme Makeover, Home Edition had. Brilliant work.
It's a Canadian series, one of about 5 series that Mike Holmes has been a part of for over 25 years. If you can see the original Holmes On Homes.
@@kaywatson6505 Thank you. I don't have a television and I'm not in Canada, hence why I've never seen the series before. I'm really getting into it, though.
HOLY COW!!!!!!! Great wall of Outlets......... I Hope they didn't run 1 wire to all of them.............. WOW!
Love Mike’s no-nonsense approach
Theft is a big thing in all stores and the measures being used is a must. I agree with their measures in theft prevention. Really a glad they are taking these measures to keep thieves from committing actions.
OMG! I love Mike. I've watched you for years on tv now I've found this RUclips channel❤ You and your Family/Team are Amazing. Looks like I'm playing catch up!! Thank you for sorting these homes out. 👍🇬🇧❤😁
This place was a total mess! No one should have to deal with this🤦🏼♀️ Thank God for Mike Holmes. He is amazing!
Wow, I'm always rooting for Mike because he always does such amazing work.
Mike and his crew are amazing, and the accents are cool 😁.
Mike we are so glad that we found you on HGTV and now we have found you here and we enjoy watching your episodes of true honesty integrity at work helping people! Like this woman here, I am a retired federal police officer! Some of the things I have seen here could have been arrestable offenses. Thanks for all you do for them and for us!
I used to watch Mike's shows years ago when I purchased a home that needed some TLC. Very handy tips.
I feel so bad for the people who get ripped off my home inspectors! Mike and crew you guys rock!
Great Job, Mike and the Entire Crew.!!! I have a question for you. When you come across a Home Inspection Report and you find things that were missed or never mentioned, do you let that home inspection service know that? I guess that would cause alot of problems for you, but I was just wondering. Again, you and your entire crew are FANTASTIC.
To Mike Holmes and everyone in his crew extremely very good work that everyone of you all do! Am also proud of all of the different trades people that you have come in to help you straighten out the messes that are left in a house that you come in to Straighten up! 😊
Mam thankyou for your service and your dedication and your time and your bravery and loyalty and honor and honesty and truthfulness and trust and.faithfulness and again thankyou for your service from a greatful nation welcome home were glad to see yea
All the outlets are for grow lights, and the hose is for irrigation. Basement was a small grow operation at one time.
This is such a good episode. Like they said... I'm crying too. God bless you Mike...
I love that kitchen! Great job again!
Thank goodness for guys like Mike Holmes and and Damien
thanks Mike and Crew. I wish you were near Louisiana to build my Dream Home. Just beautiful work💞💞
So nice what you did for such a nice person....
When he butchered that garden hose, I died a little inside.
I am feeling badly for her going through this. I think it was a wake up call that she shouldn’t put herself and her daughter in dangerous situation. Mike had a big heart to take the time to explore everything in the house. It was unbelievable how the inspector didn’t written these problems on the report. How careless !!
Thanks for her service 👮👮👮
Wow what an honor and integrity for doing a good job
We need more tradesmen with INTEGRITY like Mike and his crew. The city needs to have trained inspectors (to even obtain a permit for contractors) as a service for tax paying citizens. Not only for permits but for peoples safety
I think the main issue is Inspectors avoiding confrontation..but if there's no one to Hold Contractors accountable to Municipal Standards, The practice of cutting corners to save extra money or just plain incompetence will always thrive. It seems nowadays home owners or soon to be have to require some basic knowledge of The in's and outs of how houses are made to operate, Which in most cases is not that hard to learn.
The City has qualified inspectors galore. The problem is that people don’t get permits.
Well that's what you a fixer up Mike Holmes you done it again you and your crew they are such amazing I love to see how thankful when she started crying I need to know what she had and now what she's got God bless you all be safe and again you've done an amazing job no one can you and your God bless you
That's funny when she was saying thank you very much you guys and she was referring to Mike to like he helped to and he wasn't even there
Mike is The BOSS. He knows enough to bring in Qualified workers to do the grunt work. Without Mike there is NO show.
Without Mike none of that would have been done.
When Mike is called in everything will be right at the end🎉🎉🎉🎉
You guys are awesome!!! Be kind to each other. Stay safe. Love to all
Awesome work guys. Thank you
You guys restoring my hope in humanity
That bank of outlets looked like some kind of art installation. Was this once Andy Warhol's house?
Is there anything more enjoyable then seeing someone who needs and deserves help, getting it!?
Hey Mike Holmes . You got more hair then me. I love what you do for people. Bless you and team.
I love Mike Holmes
God bless her and daughter. I hope the perpetrator was given life.
This house was a scam job, through and through, and the sad thing is, it worked because they bought the house in spite of all the really unusual stuff that's out in the open. Whoever bought the townhouse to flip it hired the cheapest people he could find, and because he's doing so much business in town, the local inspectors sign off on it because that means they get paid too. It wouldn't surprise me if they think the homeowner is to blame for falling for such an obvious scam, and yet they're the ones responsible for pulling the scam in the first place.
Inspection reports should come with "I certify _under penalty of perjury_ that the above is an accurate statement of this residence." But unless there's enough of a public push for it, it will never happen and inspectors will continue doing bad jobs.
That spider was so small lol
"Wonder what type of job he had before this..."
Mike, that's easy!
He was obviously a Science Fiction writer!
the electrician is one cool dude, and the plumber too
Garage ceilings with rooms above need two hour fire rating in the uk
For a home, with 2 women, by themselves, a garage door opener would've been nice.
Nice job guys pitty about the bathroom drain not replacing the broken tile
That bothered me too. Wouldn’t have been hard to demo that small floor and retile.
The new kitchen wiring looks worse than the multi plug wiring hahaha
Basically this house was: if you think an expert costs a lot, wait till you hire an amateur...
Inspectors have to sign off & issue a report with their name address & phone number.
Why don’t you guys do a show where you bring the inspector back, do a walk-through & ask him “hey what the fuck were you thinking?!?!?!?”
There is an HGTV show like that I'm pretty sure
@@16BitDoggowhat is its name? I wanna see it
I wish I could get this man to look at my friend's house across the street from me, I have tried to help her as much as I can, she got messed over I believe from the beginning, she works lots of hrs, and just not able to get people who really care about the work they do, she is a single woman and a great friend, she did not deserve to be treated like she has
You know the next guy after Damon is now a consultant? You can call him. He would know good people if he can’t take the job. Won’t be free
She did know and accepted the house. Maybe the house was even a deal between the owners (city) realtor and inspector and off caused the new owner (here). In some city or states policemen/women is getting a cheaper house because of location or it has been seized. 😮
Kathie is definitely crushing on Mike.
The one question I have is who pays for all of the work that was done and for the materials? To see work done to this level of competency has to be expensive.
It's a combination of the homeowner, network and occasionally Mike himself
Hopefully, the shoplifter who crippled Kathie is rotting in a prison cell. That man is a scumbag.
If they did catch and convict him, he would be out by now, unfortunately.
Love the diamond ear studs
I just wonder how many in that block of Town Houses are in a similar shape with improper venting etc.
Please bring the Holmes on Holmes and or Holmes inspection
Great Job guys...
It's not that the inspector missed things. He or she did not know what they were doing. My friend just had her roof of 42 years done. It cost her $20,000.00, and the inspector from the city approved mistakes and missed many things that he should not have. The person she used to do the work was from another state. The inspector did not do his job, and he approved the mistakes. During and throughout the process, she went and got the permit, and waiting for the inspector's approval before allowing the contractor to proceed to the next step. Now she is hoping that 12:31 when winter hits, all is well.
I , Can Relate To This Segment Except My Place Had No Inspection Nor Was I Ever Offered One. Like , The Way Mike And Crew Do Things To Make It Right .
@mikeabbott7209 Of course you were never offered inspection, The responsibility of hiring an inspector lies solely with you!
I wish I could get a hold of this man soon
I used to watch his shows like a junkie when I used cable service. I was learning how to do it too.
Did she see the house before purchase!? I would have walked away as soon as I saw the hose and all the wires. Definitely a grow house. 😂
Honestly I've watched ever show Mike Holmes has had on HGTV but this brought tears to me eyes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love watching the beat for my diy
The wiring in closet area would Not pass USA code, as the exposed wires have to be in Conduit, Below 8 feet. Also a Max of 6 outlets per 15 amp Breaker.
My favorite save to date!
As an experienced and working home inspector, the guy that did this home inspection (before Mike Holmes) should NOT be a home inspector. A few months ago here in South Carolina, I was brought in to inspect a home for a buyer, after a previous deal fell through. Their agent had a copy of the previous inspection report that had taken place only three weeks before, by a franchise home inspection company. Their report only listed a few items as having defects. Within 10 mins of starting our inspection, we had already found dozens of defects that should never have been missed, along with the discovery of a number of defects in system elements, that with just a little investigation, should have been found.
Has anyone asked some uncomfortable questions about the huge number of plugs in ann odd place? Well - yes - they have, but not the one I was asking. What illegal activity uses banks of plugs and a hose for inside a home? Cuz that seems like the most likely reason for that being done - in the way it was done.
PS
I love this crew!! There will be no wondering what was going on in this house before, because they brought it into the open and fixed it all! It is now a qualified home for the lovely Kathie and her daughter!
Hmm, I don't know what the law is where the video was made, but I know if a home inspector miss something so obvious like that in my country it will cause a lawsuit for damages against the home inspector.....
It's Canada and they do try to go after these inspectors but more often than not, they get away or disappear and never get caught. They change their names, shut down their business then start up again in a new province or state. They run to the States where they can start all over again.
Hey Mike. Would you take on the reno and issues at 24 Sussex Dr. It would make a great show too.
