Was this a DIY nightmare or what all these tradesman coming in and fixing all these problems, Asbestos, Old Panel, old roof shingles all sorts of problems and a Heat Exchange with a holes that was next to a gas line could of blown up that house 😲 I am glad Mike Holmes is a House Inspector and Contractor he brings in the Best Tradesman and does through Inspections 😊
I sure do enjoy these segments. I also want to say a special thanks to all the trades that work outdoors year round! Bless u all, and thank you for your dedication to being a professional trades person.
These shows needs do be done again they are full of inspiration and the best workmanship plumbing electrical hvac framing drywall painting Mike Holmes is the very best at this pray we keep his crew working for us
One other thing. If your real estate agent recommends a certain home inspector, get a different one, because the recommended one was getting a kickback from the realtor in a set commission fee. Probably about 3-5% range. Plus the fee you pay him, so they are double dipping, serving nobody but himself!!!
I was gonna leave a similar comment. If your realtor recommends a home inspector that's a big red flag!! 🇨🇳 Thank them for their time then turn around don't walk but run away!! They're giving kickbacks to the inspector to overlook any problems that will affect the sale.
“It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it!” That said, it's hard to tell who the competent guys are, and real estate agents will know who are the people who find flaws that mess up their deals.
Also, do everything you can to be an educated home buyer. Watch this show and others like it. Go online and get the building codes for your country/state/province/oblast/etc. (You can ignore everything commercial, which makes for a lot less studying). Use your knowledge to ask questions, to point out defects, to ask why an inspector did not mention something you noticed. Everything you can get in an inspector report is something you can use to negotiate the price of the house down or require be corrected before you buy. AFTER the sale is too expensive a time to find out what was missed.
I have been a fan of the Holmes' for years. I also enjoy watching other home renovation shows. I have to admit, after watching Mike for so long, I am always seeing mistakes in my other shows, lol. To be fair, I see Mike critique things in his later shows that he himself did in his earliest shows. I just wish we had someone like Mike where we live. I've had shoddy work from almost every contractor I've hired.
The homeowners won the lottery this time. Brand new electrical, new roof, hvac duct repairs, new windows and a lot of new drywall. There's no way they could pay for all that work themselves.
I LOVE MIKE!!!! My father and brother were building contractors here in N.C. I do not have them with me anymore. They are building in Heaven now. but Mike has the same high ethics they had!!!!
Before buying that house this family apparently would have needed a roof inspection, an HVAC & insulation inspection, a structural inspection, an asbestos inspection and an electrical and a plumbing inspection, as apparently "home inspectors" don't need to go on the roof, in the attic, or open the electrical panel or actually check the heating system or look at anything below the surface. - Glad this sweet family actually got everything fixed in their modest home.
When My Daughter bought her house, I was lucky enough to have a friend who was a high rated home general contractor, always busy, so I asked him if you were buying a house who would you hire to do your Home inspection? He gave us a name, he charged about $100 US more than other home inspectors but spent 3.5 - 4 hours going through the house. He wrote everything down and took a picture to accompany any issues he found. She was able to renegotiate the price based on those findings, giving her the money to fix the issues and also a heads up on a few items that could use improvement. He went into the attic and onto the roof also pulled the floor and wall duct outlets to look for possible asbestos, He explained if he had found anything that looked like it He would've recommended for those specific areas and that he always recommends getting an asbestos company to check the plaster on any home built in the 70s or before? I believe it was. The good news is there was no asbestos tiles, or duct coverings that needed special attention. She's been in her house 12+ years and his inspection was 100%, she ( and now they ) have had no issues that weren't pointed out and have made improvements based on his recommendations such as adding more insulation and upgrading windows and doors. If you want a home inspector find a highly rated contractor that's been in buisness for 5+ years and ask if they do inspections or if they would recommend an inspector. You'll also then have a good contractor if you need improvements.
I just love Mike Holmes reaction to bad things done to a home by Contractor's that have sometimes even put the home at risk for fires, etc. etc. etc. It's also a shame that there was not a House Inspector that came through the purchase of this home requested by the homeowner. It's frustrating for sure for the new homeowners for sure.
Completely agree with George Stone. Home inspector should not be tied to the real-estate company that’s selling the house. They just want the house sold. 🤨
💕 it seems that anyone could become a home inspector, even me with no qualifications💕All home inspectors should have proper licenses & qualifications and it NEEDS to be sorted out in your country💕
i've been a Holmes fan for many, many years. My only critique is I wish he'd level-up and get certified for doing blower-door tests People need to understand the *every* house needs to be audited for infiltration. Some of the worst blunders I've ever seen were in houses less than a year old :/
Wonderful family....So happy for them that they were saved by Mike Holmes and crew, the awesome hvac, electrical, plumbing and roofing companies....I believe the realtor took advantage of their love for that house, used a home inspector to help "sell" to the home buyers that it was a good house...The home inspector was just a paid puppet for the realtor...Disgusting actions by both of them....Really ticks me off
The average person does not understand all the nuances about home construction or inspection. Unfortunately neither do most of the home inspectors. While it is great that some of these come from the trades they may be great in their field but not great in all the fields. The best inspectors are Architectural or Engineering Technicians. They have a good understanding of ALL trades work, thus are better qualified.
I would never get a home inspector recommended by the realtor. The realtor wants to sell the property so having their own inspector smacks of a conflict of interest to me. No wonder that house passed with flying colors.
Maybe the moral of the story seems to be to pre-research home inspectors BEFORE going house hunting, interview them, and have your own already picked out, and DO NOT EVER use one suggested or recommended by the realtor. I suspect there is a conflict of interest there. The realtor just wants the house sold so they can get their commission, and the "inspector" may well be willing to overlook issues...possibly for a kickback??? Wondering why it seems 90% of these kinds of shows are filmed in winter & snow!?
the pattern seems to be: the realtor finds you an inspector who has an interest in not skuttling the sale, so the inspector doesn't find much wrong. i've seen this over and over, and yet this key point is never really made by Mr. Holmes.
Canada has the same electrical system as the United States. I would love to know why they put their electrical panels in sideways?? Did someone from America play cruel trick on Canada and tell them that’s the way it supposed to be lol
Home Inspectors while often Licensed, should be Required to be Insured and Bonded. It would then become rather obvious, the Insuring Companies would Require them to have Specific Minimum Training to help ensure the Company will not be paying out claims. Of course States, Provinces, or Municipalities Could Require Qualifications, and Specific Minimum Insurance, Prior to Issuing Licenses. Either possibility requires the ability to File Complaints and a System of Recourse. Insurance Companies would certainly be able to push it Faster. After all, they Exist to make money for Stockholders. Politicians can draw issues out until everyone gets disgusted and goes home.
Mike, im begging you. Please send help my way. I just bought a house 2 years ago with cash and stipulations from the seller that its as is. Problem is i was nieve and didnt know what to look for. House was old and i knew it needed work but wasnt expecting the amount of work it needed. The seller put lipstick on a pig and called it beautiful. The floors have a paper thin sticker on them. The floors are like a trampoline. My kitchen floor slopes to the outside wall, my floor joists in the bedroom gave way and i had a big hole in the floor. The nails rusted out and 4 joists fell. The toilet floor bounces everytime i sit on toilet and my toilet stack has a big crack in it. No insulation in the walls or attic, windows look newer but there is no trim around them or insulation. 3 old wall propane units in the house that give me headaches. Electrical problems. The lights in all the rooms dim when i use microwave. No ground port in sockets. When it rains i have to mop the bedroom floor. Outside i have a detached garage that has all rotted sill plates, rotted studs, garage door doesnt seal up, breezeway thats sinking down, insolation is espestos, ceiling is bowed down in the middle and no insulation. Right now im working on my yard drainage. The septic runoff goes directly into the tile, yard floods and my property smells like septic. Sidewalks, garage floor and patio cement is only an inch thick and is broken/cracked everywhere. Electrical in Garage is ceramic fuses and old wiring with no ground. My trees are all dying because of the flooding. County wont fix the town storm water drains so everyones storm water ends up in my yard. Roof needs redone, soffits have holes and i get critters in the attic. No window trim on the outside. Gutters hold water. My cistern is under the kitchen which makes my joists wet. No joist hangers and subfloor is inadequate. Crawl space is narrow so i cant even get down there to fix anything. I cant afford to fix things but i cant even sell the house in this condition. Im begging you please send me some help. I cry everynight because my house is a mess and i should have never bought it. I dont know wherelse to turn. Im sick all the time now. My dogs bring the mud into the house and it turns into dust. Dust that smells like septic and im breathing it in. Please, i beg you to help me. john2willis@yahoo.com
100a service in a 4 bed 2 bath house with central air? That should have been minimum 150a. But it makes sense they didn't want to spend the extra on a help out project.
Never use the home inspector recommended by your realtor. That realtor gets paid when the deal closes. Their priority is getting the deal closed. What happens after that doesn't matter to the realtor. Your house can collapse, as long as it happens after they get paid. Cynical? Yes! But, you need to take control when you are making a purchase of this size. Hire a home inspector that works for you, and make sure they understand that they are working for you, and for you alone.
Happy to see the 'lost episodes' here! (USA didn't get all the Holmesification that Canada did). Think about it... how many years ago was this filmed? Yet so very, very relevant today. Can't say that about much on 'network tv'... Also, Frank is awesome. I learned so much from his approach to fixing things.
That house looks like it was originally renovated by set decoratirs... It LOOKS GOOD... But nothing is where it is supposed to be , the way its supposed to no
As a retired electrician I need to critique one thing. When Frank was showing off the new service to the house I did not see any ground from the meter to a ground rod. One other thing is mounting electrical panels sideways that is just strange and weird.
you know, all these horror stories dont just happen on reality tv shows. mike is doing a lot of good. the sad part is there arent a lot of good people like mike around. they might be pros but they give bad advice and still charge! hint, home inspectors. in my opinion an inspection is a waste. i had one done for an apt which was totally pointless. but mike also has a bad side, he advertises products. honestly mike, you been a celeb for a while now, lol
Why would you only do one side of a duplex and not the other ????????? considering that the same builder built the entire duplex, making the same mistakes on both sides at the same time?
ok, you can't expect the inspector to see all interior issues BUT with that roof, yeah. leaking like a sift. But if the laws were changed and you fine the sellers [don't care if they say the didn't know] or the sellers have to make things right and charge extra, then people would not be in this situation. as usual, all about getting money. Seeing how Mike likes to do the best, why not put on a metal roof?
funny in almost every episodes you hear they had an inspector and they did visit the house and half of what mike repairs is in plain site and you have to ignore it on purpose to need understand something is not right
As usual, Mike Holmes personal touch matters. I feel sorry that he is accused of deficiencies in a subdivision that his company trusted yet he was not allowed to inspect or repair after he heard of the contracted company did not meet his standards. I personally, and I can be wrong, is that I think if he was given the chance he would make it right.
Well not only that, but part of his deal with whomever Mike Holmes lended his name to, was that he was going to get money from the homeowners for his inspections, but most if not all of the homeowners opted to forego the inspections and I'm wondering if Mike even got anything out of that deal besides having his name tarnished by these real-estate vultures.
Any time a realtor recommends a home inspector that is a big fat red flag. If a realtor is buddy buddy with a home inspector that is a total conflict of interest.
They won't see things, if they don't know what to look for. In many States, home inspectors are not 'certified'. In Michigan, they don't have to be...just because they claimed to be qualified doesn't mean that they've been trained. Also, home inspectors do not inspect building code. That's not their job at all. You hired an inspector - not from the realtor - with a certification from a institution (a national one is best) with 5 years minimum of time under their belt.
The home owners are still on the hook for the price to get this fixed. that is what no one is telling you. The home owners also are barred from suing them or even letting everyone know, for many years after the fact. This show makes millions but screw over the home owners.
Full episode! Winner! With Mr. Bennett! Double winner!
The idea that you made another family very happy and safe, it overwhelms me when I see the difference with love and care 💖
They are lovely, quiet, gentle people. I'm really glad Mike, Damon and the crew could help them so much.
Was this a DIY nightmare or what all these tradesman coming in and fixing all these problems, Asbestos, Old Panel, old roof shingles all sorts of problems and a Heat Exchange with a holes that was next to a gas line could of blown up that house 😲

We all need to watch these shows !

Never get tired of this show but, I think the show should be about the home inspector

Any inspector hired through a realtor, never ever seems to find any significant problems.
It’s sad but true. Don’t buy it. Look for something else.
Also, do everything you can to be an educated home buyer.

About $150-200K minimum. Even better, they exceeded the expected standards.
Ahh! Another new full Episode of Holmes Inspection. Really enjoyed, Thank You!
Love the whole crew. Love seeing the same faces all the time. Great NEW beginning for the family. Be kind to each other. Stay safe. Love to all
Excellent job Mike! You have a great crew and definitely make people live better and safer.❤❤
Another one I haven't seen.Good one.

Hey. I am a 70 year old fluffy person, who loves to cook and give hugs. I also love and support Jeremy & George.

outstanding job
Enjoy the crew and contractors Mike has on call from shows long past. Would hire them but 1000 miles and different country away.
Completely agree with George Stone. Home inspector should not be tied to the real-estate company that’s selling the house. They just want the house sold. 🤨
most of the time when it is an attached townhouse they are built to the cheapest standards just for max profit never buy an attached house
💕 it seems that anyone could become a home inspector, even me with no qualifications💕All home inspectors should have proper licenses & qualifications and it NEEDS to be sorted out in your country💕
Yep, just put on the hat and away you go
i've been a Holmes fan for many, many years. My only critique is I wish he'd level-up and get certified for doing blower-door tests
People need to understand the *every* house needs to be audited for infiltration. Some of the worst blunders I've ever seen were in houses less than a year old :/
Was this blower-door test already a common thing in 2011?
It'd be really great to actually name these incompetent inspectors! 😮
Wonderful family....So happy for them that they were saved by Mike Holmes and crew, the awesome hvac, electrical, plumbing and roofing companies....I believe the realtor took advantage of their love for that house, used a home inspector to help "sell" to the home buyers that it was a good house...The home inspector was just a paid puppet for the realtor...Disgusting actions by both of them....Really ticks me off
NICE WORK
These home builders and home inspectors need to be arrested and thrown in prison
All done and Mike didn't even brake a sweat 😟
Isn’t there any recourse with an improperly inspected house?
28:18 Is that an open wall to the other residence in this duplex? There should be a fire wall.
The average person does not understand all the nuances about home construction or inspection. Unfortunately neither do most of the home inspectors. While it is great that some of these come from the trades they may be great in their field but not great in all the fields. The best inspectors are Architectural or Engineering Technicians. They have a good understanding of ALL trades work, thus are better qualified.
I would have sued, the previous home owner, the relator AND the home inspector, this is ridiculous
Happened to me and I did. Home owners declared bankruptcy but I was able to go after the home inspector and my realtor.
I would never get a home inspector recommended by the realtor. The realtor wants to sell the property so having their own inspector smacks of a conflict of interest to me. No wonder that house passed with flying colors.
Asbestos and LEAD PAINT. MOST HOUSES IN THE 60'S HAD LEAD PAINT ISSUES TOO!!!
for you my dry wall screws are popping out ?

There are no “claims” though, the buyer is stuck with the burden
Mike, im begging you. Please send help my way. I just bought a house 2 years ago with cash and stipulations from the seller that its as is. Problem is i was nieve and didnt know what to look for.

If it's one thing I learned watching these. Never use an inspector that the realtor recommends
One big problem is that they already spent the money on the house and they don’t have anything left over to fix what they’re stuck with.
Never use the home inspector recommended by your realtor. That realtor gets paid when the deal closes. Their priority is getting the deal closed. What happens after that doesn't matter to the realtor. Your house can collapse, as long as it happens after they get paid. Cynical? Yes! But, you need to take control when you are making a purchase of this size. Hire a home inspector that works for you, and make sure they understand that they are working for you, and for you alone.
in addition, the inspector has incentive to "pass" the house, so that they get more business from the realtor.
Happy to see the 'lost episodes' here! (USA didn't get all the Holmesification that Canada did).
Think about it... how many years ago was this filmed? Yet so very, very relevant today. Can't say that about much on 'network tv'...
Also, Frank is awesome. I learned so much from his approach to fixing things.
28:09 is there any point in his safety line?
The insurance probably require it.
How do we trust a home inspection if its not done by mike homes inspection
That house looks like it was originally renovated by set decoratirs... It LOOKS GOOD... But nothing is where it is supposed to be , the way its supposed to no
Don’t always trust the realtor. Their goal is to get rid of you quickly and get commission.
I'm sad there's only 13 episodes left :(
This is why you never, ever hire the inspector suggested by the realtor.
In that bedroom with the water damaged drywall, why didn't they just take the whole ceiling down rather than doing all that patch work?
They didn't patch it. They removed a section of the ceiling. No need to remove the whole thing - the video said so and why.
Never, never, never go with the inspector supplied by your realter. Nine times out of ten they are there for the real-estate company, not you.
I wut to see more homes on homes
As a retired electrician I need to critique one thing. When Frank was showing off the new service to the house I did not see any ground from the meter to a ground rod. One other thing is mounting electrical panels sideways that is just strange and weird.
It was explained in another episode as to why. Then again this is canada
It's impressive how bad that house was. "The roof is good for another 3 to 5 years." Actually the roof needed to be replaced 3 to 5 years ago.
You’re not a failure as a parent. You’re a parent that was lied to.
Never trust a Home Inspector that works for the Reality Company.
It's great watching Pro's work.
you know, all these horror stories dont just happen on reality tv shows. mike is doing a lot of good. the sad part is there arent a lot of good people like mike around. they might be pros but they give bad advice and still charge! hint, home inspectors. in my opinion an inspection is a waste. i had one done for an apt which was totally pointless. but mike also has a bad side, he advertises products. honestly mike, you been a celeb for a while now, lol
What's wrong with advertising. A man gotta eat and where you think all the money for these repairs comes from.
It still amazes me that people forget that water runs downhill. Bet they wouldn't build their own homes like that.
Awesome. I've worked with some Idiots but I could handle working with Damon🤔 if I spelled his name Correctly.👍
Why would you only do one side of a duplex and not the other ????????? considering that the same builder built the entire duplex, making the same mistakes on both sides at the same time?
ok, you can't expect the inspector to see all interior issues BUT with that roof, yeah. leaking like a sift. But if the laws were changed and you fine the sellers [don't care if they say the didn't know] or the sellers have to make things right and charge extra, then people would not be in this situation. as usual, all about getting money.

It said in the report there was a possibility of asbestos and the homeowners did nothing to check. That to me is idiotic
Who pays in the end for all this?
They should have hired that black guy home inspector on UA-cam that says That ain't right!!! 😂
😎
Any time a realtor recommends a home inspector that is a big fat red flag. If a realtor is buddy buddy with a home inspector that is a total conflict of interest.
The home inspectors job is to help the realtor SELL the house. Period.
what is with this inspectors, why can't see with there eyes
They won't see things, if they don't know what to look for. In many States, home inspectors are not 'certified'. In Michigan, they don't have to be...just because they claimed to be qualified doesn't mean that they've been trained. Also, home inspectors do not inspect building code. That's not their job at all.
You hired an inspector - not from the realtor - with a certification from a institution (a national one is best) with 5 years minimum of time under their belt.
Oh my god sharing one bathroom with your children..... just like 99% of the European households do.
❤❤❤❤🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Asbestos danger is overrated unless you are breathing in the dust 8 hours a day 40 hours a week for at least 40 years.
how as screw in fuses in 2024
The home owners are still on the hook for the price to get this fixed. that is what no one is telling you. The home owners also are barred from suing them or even letting everyone know, for many years after the fact. This show makes millions but screw over the home owners.
What's your source for this information?
lesson learned never use realtors or builders recomended inspector
never use a reators inspection guy. research and find your own.
