I create videos to help better inform home Inspectors, buyers, sellers, and realtors on how to find everyday problems with their houses/properties. I will also have guest speakers that work closely with the real estate trade.

Thanks so much for helping even non inspectors become more educated about homebuying. Keep up the great work. :)
Flips aren't all bad. As with new construction, it all comes down to ethics and knowledge of the person doing the work. I flip, but always inspect before i buy. I wont buy anything I'm not confident I can fix properly. I've never had anything significant show up on an inpection report upon sale to end homeowner.
Hey Chris, another great video.
Well done! Great video and education.
Great videos. I’m a property manager and your videos have helped me look for things that may need attention.
Can a mason please speak to what we saw with the chimney bricks in attic?
This may be obscured on video, but those HVAC Condenser’s seem too close. Usually manufacturers want at least 12-24”. Is that something you would normally write up as an inspector?
At 10:16, the HVAC equipment does not seem to have a pan that’s big enough to be under all parts of the system that might have condensation.
Also, there is no “drip leg” on the gas supply to that HVAC equipment - it’s using a normal elbow rather than a tee that would get used to allow for the drip leg.
Again this is a quick scan of the structure, I do not make videos of every little problem on the property. I focus on the major issues. Drip legs and pans are called out every day. I want buyers to focus on the big money issues on a property. What is going to cost them the most moving in.
Most ppl need a visual to know what to look at. My sister recently bought a 1980s home. She trusted the guy to inspect the house. I told her to hire a professional who is licensed. Well as I walk through the house I see so many cosmetic issues half fast jobs slopy jobs (it looks good when you first see it) but when u actually look you notice.
Only 6 months here, Im worried... One shower is not draining. I hate people
I would doubt there was galvanized water piping on that water heater for a 1980s build. I think you were seeing the gas supply pipes. The water lines on the water heater were covered in insulated tubing in the shots that were visible, so hard to tell for certain - but I am making a reasonable guess.
And there was no “drip leg” visible on the water heater gas supply line - it may or may not be there (again limited by the how the camera took the shots).
There was galvanized connectors at the top of the water heater. In Houston we have a lot of houses that used galvanized in the 80s. I didn’t cover ever detail in this video such as drip legs because I was focusing on a quick look at the property.
What to look at quickly to determine if the structure is worth it or not to purchase.
Thanks for the feed back, all information is good in these videos.
@@AActionHomeInspectionHouston - the water heater connectors were galvanized - that does make sense; lots of galvanized piping would not make sense.
@@stevebabiak6997 we see a lot of things that don’t make sense on properties.
What are the probability’s of a 1977 home having lead base paint in Houston Texas
Yes, we stopped using it in 1978
Are inspectors trained on finding foundation issues, and how much can they determine before advising a structural engineer? Reason I ask, is why would a buyer want to keep spending more money on inspectors when I thought that’s what an inspection was for. It’s not cheap.
I understand, Not all inspectors are trained to tell if the foundation has failed or not. Most just look for early warning signs and push it to a structural engineer. I recommend finding an inspector confident with zip level or water level.
Are your employees 1099 or w2 and what is the pay structure like?
We talk about that on our home inspection whisperer podcast. You can find it on Apple podcast
Hi I watch your videos as I have been looking at houses for my family. I have an inspection scheduled for Next week, but for a visual inspection at $200. Is that the same type of inspection you do? I’ve seen other inspectors charging alot more too?
$200 dollars would probably be just a walk around and verbal, maybe 1 hour. Our inspections take about 4 hours with a written detailed report. I would be cautious about a $200 dollar inspection because it would be the bottom of the line. An average price thorough inspection normally sits around $450 - $600 depending on the size of the structure.
@@AActionHomeInspectionHouston Thanks for the advice man! Going to find something more thorough
