You assume they had one for *electrical*. That 'cheat' saved them ~$15. Depending on the age of the house, non-GFCI outdoor outlets could have been 'legal' BUT NOT A 3-Prong outlet used without a GFCI (just because it is grandfathered, does not mean it should not be done. GFCI still protects on older 2 wire era homes. )
Nahh, the government gave up on regulating business years ago. I had a contractor completely screw me in Texas, city said it was a civil issue so I sued him, then they said they can't serve him the papers unless he confirms to the cops he lives at the address I listed. I got a problem right now in Georgia where the MLS listing for the house I bought was wrong or fraudulent. GA is a buyer beware state though, where the seller and real estate agents have 0 liability (Because you are supposed to get a thorough inspection). I did pay for a thorough inspection though, but the inspector also has 0 legal liability. The house is listed as being on city sewer and it isn't. It turns out there isn't even city sewer available.
It's a simple breach of contract. It will cost you thousands of dollars in court fees to get your hundreds of dollars back. It's basic math. The same math applied by insurances when they denies claims or corporations when they denies warranties.
@SonicBoyster Cry about it. New construction is absolutely garbage now to the point it's a warning to home buyers. You see garbage like this everywhere. Tradies today are cheap and incompetent compared to their historical peers.
Nice, a totally unverifiable statement that doesn't really make sense. The people doing the most shoddy work want to stay on the DL, in my experience. They'll talk the talk when in front of you or when confronted, but they don't go out of their way to complain about stuff if they have an ounce of intelligence
Never buy a home without an inspection unless you are prepared for stuff like this. Even with an inspection, they'll cut every corner short they possibly can, including risks that might set the home on fire.
I recommend getting your own home inspector but not the one referred by your realtor. Then meet your inspector without your realtor present at the house you are going to buy
I purchased a house inspection and did a full walk through with the inspector twice before closing. Two small issues needed to be corrected before closing and one think missed I noticed.
Somebody should lose a license over that. It's outright fraud... but the trades get away with it. There's ZERO accountability. If you want it done right, you have to do it yourself.
no its employees of legit businesses quitting and starting their own unlicensed/uninsured illegal operation out of corporate greed cause they dont think they got paid fairly so they made their own corporation now their greed is to cut corners, no insurance, no bond, no work comp, no license and half azz work. otherwise if they done things legit they only profit what last company paid them.
I do the same thing around my house. Wife tells me to do something, so I print it out and make a placeholder so I don’t forget. Then I know what I need to work on once I replace my printed toolbox and printed volt meter.
If you think this is bad, wait until you find out that over 90% of "new construction" homes built in America fail even the very minimum federal & state standards. The only reason they are still sold, is because there is so much corruption involved, that inspectors will rubber-stamp their approval for inspections, and most major home construction corporations have been committing wide-spread fraud for decades.... its the norm nowadays. So unless you oversee the construction yourself, or have a home design firm or trusted GC (general contractor) oversee every step of the home... you're likely getting ripped off. But this doesn't include "spec" homes, which are typically of higher quality.
We recently bought a new build and even the inspectors half ass the inspections. They are better than nothing, but you need to educate yourself and understand what needs to be checked.
My mother got taken for about 30k by holy ground tiny houses out of colorado. They're actually not frauds, they're just horribly incompetent. You know how ponzi schemes work, where investors give you money, and you pay back earlier investors with new investors money to keep the illusion going, while skimming from the top? It's like that, except due to incompetence. They use money from current customers to buy supplies to fulfill back orders for old customers. The business is hemmorhaging money, and as a result a lot of the newest customers are simply never going to get their money or home. But hey, it's a "christian charity" so that makes it all A-OK right? And people ask why I'm so disgusted by chriSTAINS.
It's not just builders in the US, I've seen some amazingly dangerous repairs in Britain, Europe and Australia. and lets not even discus Southeast Asia...🤣🤣
I have to wonder if that picture of the GFCI was part of the display packaging, like when you buy stuff in a bubble pack at the store, and it shows what the finished job will look like. (who would go to that extra trouble anyway?) Good chance an inspection found broken exterior covers and someone added replacements with no intention of an upgrade because you can't buy the old style covers these days. OTOH, the media has to hype it up because that's what they do!
@@shaystern2453 who cares. In my opinion, it's the media going overboard because GFCI upgrades are rare for a home sale but fixing broken stuff is pretty common.
@@rupe53 Going overboard? If I pay someone to do something, and they pull shit like that, it most _definitely_ wouldn't be going overboard to call them out like this.
@@Strahan740i Where did anyone say someone got paid to install a GFCI? I only suggested that a broken cover was replaced, and the factory packaging was left in that cover. I also suggested the media had a field day with it... and never gave any backstory or details beyond an inspector finding what was shown.
@@rupe53 Dude, did you even watch the video?? They literally say a contractor was hired _to replace the exterior outlets_ not to just install covers. Christ, keep up already.
"Exterior, Attics, and Crawspaces, those are places people never look when buying a house." That's funny, whenever someone I know buys a house I always ask to look in those places.
I'm interested in what the root issue was with the outdoor outlets. No GFCI? You don't need to upgrade it meets the original installation of the house and in good working order and grandfathered in. Building codes are updated every year, and no house is having things ripped open every year to be updated.
true. unless you are tearing it open for a remodel then in some states you may be required to bring everything part of the remodel up to code. like doing a bath remodel then you may be required to convert to gfci. if the house is over 40 years old I would strongly suggest replacing outlets and switches and breakers and bringing electrical up to current code
Sounds like this was the model house and they rushed to get it ready for customers to see how the houses will look in the community but forgot to fix the outlets when selling the model home itself. My house I live in was also the model house but way way back built in the 1950s, my house is the first one in the community, and you can see something funny, they actually built my house at first without a garage and then they added it after the fact, the reason is that there is brick siding on the wall facing the garage so they built it as an exterior wall, then they added the garage, the result is I have a 2 car garage but unlike the other homes mine is like extra deep for some reason they built it 2x deep so room for 4 cars, 2 deep, no idea why, all the other homes look the same but have a normal 2 car deep garage. Funny stuff is done to the model homes it seems, they play and experiment with it but might also do strange things to it.
Now model homes are built so cheap I wouldn’t want one. Everything is thrown together. We looked at one and the drain in the shower wasn’t even real, the the dryer vents not connected closets not painted, cabinets with no shelves. A lot of other stuff, it was wild.
Those pictures of the GFCIs are paper inserts that come with the covers. They could have just forgot to remove them. Exterior outlets are not required to all be GFCIs, they just have to be protected by a GFCI.
@@earlebaker2440 I'm thinking the insert was put there showing it was GFCI protected. Usually there are small stickers that say that. It's actually better to have the GFCI indoors to protect it from the elements.
@@tier3rd375 Ah, true. Two wires on one lug is a common find here (Both ends of a ring circuit) but unless similar circuits are permitted in the US (e.g. For lighting) that's gonna be relatively rare. 😇
Our doorbell stopped working on the house we were renting so we put in a repair order and they scheduled a person for us. They did not repair the doorbell, instead he installed a wireless doorbell and wireless chime then said have a good day! 😂
I purchased my home with no inspections paid cash no big problems a few plumbing leaks I fixed myself and some upgrades needed. Just sold my second house guy payed cash and waved all inspections. If you have basic knowledge what to look for you'll be ok.
Wish the home inspector that checked the place I'm in was as thorough as this guy. Lots of bad thing's were missed in my place like ungrounded outlets to a section of roof that was not replaced when the rest of the roof had been. The non replaced shingles of my roof are in a blind spot.
Something needs to be done. I’m hearing about things like this all the time now. I’m seeing a lot of shoddy work in people’s homes where “they hired a professional”. I tore out a basement bath that looked like shit on the outside and was a nightmare inside. I was talking about the terrible job someone did and a dummy that lives down the road acted like I didn’t know what I was talking about and stressed the fact to me that the previous owners “hired a professional to do that”. The shower, walls, and trim on the outside didn’t even look professional.
I believe that most of these problems are house flippers and doing the work themselves. If you looking at buying a house ask that question with the realitor and if so take extra precautions and be with the inspector while this is taking place. 95% of contractors are good and have good intentions in doing it correctly. I find that the home owner wants it done as cheap as possible and some contractors will follow there instructions, that is when the contractor should walk away when discussing the job if he wants it that way.
I did this on April fools day at a new build we were doing. There was only temporary power at the street but I put two of these in the house, everyone kept trying to plug into them haha
I'm not there so I don't know. But I'm assuming he checked the inside GFIs. A lot of times they put the GFI inside because it keeps it safer from the weather. Depending on the breaker you may be allowed to put two wires under the lug.
I am confused. The sticker looks like a placeholder that gets put on new outlet boxes, the outlet in the video with the sticker has plug ins in it already. So was the sticker just left by accident?
There is a condition called a False Ground. This is when a jumper is placed from the ground lug to the neutral terminal of an outlet. This fools basic outlet testers to show that the ground is good when it is not to code and potentially dangerous. Usually this happens with older two wire cables and a three prong outlet is used. More sophisticated testers check for False Ground and other conditions to make sure the wiring is good. I recommend spending the extra money to get a more sophisticated tester.
I don't trust home inspectors either. They go around the house with an iPad and take pictures of stuff that isn't even an issue. Not all of them have construction experience.
I found a contractor that's half your quote. Meanwhile Cheap guys work. Always go with personal recommendations and proven work history. Yes the experienced tradesmen is going to want "to much money".
As a home inspector, repairing fake outlets is a minor problem when compared to the big issues. If this is your only issue then consider yourself lucky. It should be fixed and will cost a bit but is still very minor, just trying to put this into perspective.
I only sell my homes "as is" I will not make repairs to a house I am selling. My current home can't pass an inspection and I won't have one done. It will be the buyers responsibility. I want my home to bring local taxes and home values down when I sell it below market value.
You would trip the breaker on panel, instead of GFCI on outlet. Sometimes those are redundant, but code is code, and the person was paid to do something they didn't do. What a mess.
So.... about 2:04 the dude points to the breakers and says they should only have a single wire. He's wrong. 100% wrong. Even if he actually looked closer and was right, he'd still be wrong. How are we supposed to trust this news story at all?
What a BS story, this is more likely an advertisement for the home inspector. The picture of the outlet is in the package when you purchase it from the big box store. More likely than not there’s nothing wrong with that outlet. Somebody installed that cover and never took the display paper out of it. Or the whole scenario is fabricated completely.
😂😂😂 naw it looked fake from the get go lol look bottom left corner. And if u really can’t telll the difference between paper and plastic it’s ur fault. As a home owner u can’t trust anyone u have to atleast look at the work before he leaves or something 😂
Fake news. That’s not a sticker. It’s an insert. It comes with the exterior outlet box when you buy it new. The interior outlet that didn’t work was probably a switched outlet. Turn the switch on. 🤣
I thought that too, but the story says they paid the electrician to change those to GFCI. So they didnt do what they were paid to do, and instead put in a picture of what they wanted instead. Such a bizarre story overall !
