@@theallaroundguy2399You need to be accurate with your description. The electrician might very well say that you called it wrong and it'll make you sound bad.
Joining would not affect what you can inspect. InterNACHI is just a place to learn and get certifications. The certifications are not recognized by your state or the government.
@@theallaroundguy2399 so you don’t need any form of licensing to perform roof inspections ? Like if I wanted to start roof inspection company specifically, I don’t need a license of any sort to perform inspections in the state of Florida
@@joseleon863_ i’m not for sure about the state of Florida. I know in a lot of states you don’t even need a license to be a home inspector. I know in a lot of states there is no such thing as a licensed roofer.
Yes. I would look into the following: www.nachi.org/certified-roof-inspector.htm and then try www.nachi.org/contractor.htm and then try commercial roof training at ccpia.org/
As an instructional video you should’ve went ahead and talked about how you made sure that that was wired as a sub panel and not the main panel. Just a thought
There at 18:00, next to the furnace flue, ehat was yhst copper pipe that looked like it had a meter on it? Also, i would have tried to run the garage door with the GFCI tripped to make sure they weren't wired together. And when testing gas cooktops, make sure you turn the onon down to the lowest setting to see if it stays lit. If it goes out when it should be on s simmer setting, gas can build up in the house. They may need calibration.
Hmmm... InterNACHI says to use a 2x4 for the resistance test on the garage door and never to use your hand to prevent any mechanical damage. I just passed the InterNACHI garage inspection course before watching this 😉 Great informative video though!
@@farstrider79 Better tell Ben to change the course and InterNACHI standards for garage door test if that's the case or should we just send them the bill since that's how it was taught?
Not having all the water sources continuously running during the entire inspection is a big mistake. You’re missing so many plumbing repairs that you do not even know about. Leaky drain pipes, leaky supply lines, leaking faucet arms and control knobs, you’re missing a possible plumbing back up from a blocked Main drain line. Tubs and sinks with slow drains etc. Running all of the water the entire time at the inspection is probably the most important thing a HomeInspector can do
@@marcusruth6612 no, the short time you are there you want to overload it. By doing that hopefully you are ensuring that things will be OK under a typical load. Like test driving a car, everyone floors it and slams on the brakes and does stuff they would not typically do
Every Company has a different policy for there procedures, ours is to run all fixtures within that room at the same time, fill to over flow then drain. If you have made a video for internachi you would know A LOT of items are edited out.
Hey im in the springs area, been my whole life pretty much. I recently discovered my interest in home inspections. That's because ive worked trade jobs for the past 10 years.... And ive worked for a lot of bosses doing practically all types of construction-restoration. Seen it all. Thank you for sharing this video! How can i job shadow for a day?

If you have a chance to put your ladder in a corner where you can safely step off to the side that’s always better than an open face area of a roof
That's a good safe practice procedure for using a ladder that I have used.
I like how he carries a tool bag from room to room instead of trying to load up his body with 20 pounds of stuff. Efficient and professional looking.
Agreed. Thanks.
Don’t forget to be sure the sinks have overflows when filling up because not all do.
Right. Good point.
open nuetral not open ground, according to your tester.
It really doesn’t matter. Just notate that the outlet is improperly wired and to have it repaired by a licensed electrician
@@theallaroundguy2399You need to be accurate with your description. The electrician might very well say that you called it wrong and it'll make you sound bad.
That's a good catch. Yes. Thanks for posting.
Just curious but if I were to join, would I be able to perform commercial roof inspections as my own company ? Or just residential

@@internachi Do you know what that pipe is? I was guessing maybe gas. It just looks different from what I've seen.
Looks like its for a lawn irrigation system. @@farstrider79

Have fun paying for a new garage door when it fails to stop and bends the bottom panel, or breaks the gears. You've just performed a destructive test!

Thank you for watching and commenting.
Do I see a power vent on the water heater?
Good question for the presenter.
Yes, that's what it looked like.
thank you
You're welcome
Self venting good practice for a new build? No go around here. Mechanical vents can fail
Thank you for watching and commenting.
I’ve never met a fireman who did not somehow have to tell you that he was a fireman🤦♂️🤦♂️
Ha. Nice.
It's a requirement, like vegans! 😂
No hate, I love firefighters and vegans both!

Kind of agree here. At least all the fixtures in a room or two to put the system under a simulated "typical load".

Thank you for watching.
Do you have or recommend an app for compiling pictures and notes to compile information?
That's what we refer to as inspection report writing software. And you can find some at inspectoroutlet.com/collections/software
