@@carlariggs525 What did the inspection cover? Less than 10 years ago, I knew someone who was getting seriously stressed out over buying a house, and the bank wouldn't approve the loan until every problem noted by the inspector was corrected. The house had been vacant for a while and was being sold 'as is', so the buyer was responsible for any repairs if they wanted the house. One of the problems that the bank considered a 'deal breaker' was that the inspector noted that the water heater wasn't working. The buyer asked me to take a look (I am not a plumber or contractor, but I have been a homeowner for quite a while). I went in, turned on a faucet, waited a few minutes, saw that the water was still cold, and turned the faucet off. I then opened the breaker box and saw that the breaker for the water heater had been turned off. It wasn't 'tripped', which would be an indication of an electrical problem, but had been intentionally turned off, which is reasonable in a house that hasn't had anybody living in it for several months. I turned the breaker back on, waited about 15 minutes, then turned the faucet on and hot water came out. The inspector that the bank had used did not spend any time looking into what may be causing the problems he noticed or how expensive they would be to fix - he only wrote down what wasn't working or was clearly broken.

Plenty of contractors will get a down payment before work starts. The down payment may be needed to buy the necessary materials, pay for permits, or pay employees while the work is being done. Even with construction of a new home, contracts may be drawn up where the bank that made the loan for the house construction pays the contractor a down payment at the beginning of construction and then makes additional lump sum payments to the contractor when the construction reaches certain points. Those lump sum payments allow the contractor to buy materials for the next stage of construction or pay employees. As for the amount he was asking for up front, some contractors that deal directly with homeowners will listen carefully to what the homeowner says during the inspection done before giving an estimate, and if they think the homeowner is likely to be a pain to deal with (threats of lawsuits, indications of likely problems in getting payment for the work when it is completed, etc.) the estimate and downpayment will be adjusted to reflect those expected "additional expenses" for the job. You can consider it a polite way for the contractor to show that he thinks you are going to be more trouble than he wants to deal with and is perfectly content with you deciding that he is too expensive and getting an estimate from another contractor who is more desperate for work.
@@missbell1634 The floor is water damaged, due to the plumbing problem having been ignored for some time. The subfloor is likely rotten. Once all of that's ripped up, the floor joists would have to be inspected and some of them may need to be replaced due to rot. If the plumbing contractor is getting the proper permits and doing everything in compliance with codes, the floor work will have to be completed before the toilet can be reinstalled.

Somebody please go get 10 pounds of Green Gobbler drain foaming cleaner and flush it down the toilet. Will take care of the majoirty of the clogs and costs about $20. Professional Septic Safe Drain Cleaners will also take care of the sink clogs. they are also roughly $20 for a gallon $500 to have a plumber clear a drain clog - yes. $10,000 absolutely not. It didn't even cost that much to get a septic replaced in the Smoky Mountains for where I work.
Since the report didn't include an itemized estimate, how do we know that the contractor did not include the cost of replacing the clearly damaged floors in that estimate?
It won't work on spackle, ready mix cement, construction glue, mortar or grout. And I'm betting that's what it is. The lousy workers cleaning up and washing that stuff down. Then the place sat empty long enough for it to harden.
yeah, everyone has a long snake and the physical ability to do it...and btw, if the pipes are old, you can put a hole in the pipe...my neighbors idiot plumber did that...and flooded their downstairs from the upstairs bathroom.
Having to mop up water behind the toilet (which she indicated she had done) and clogged pipes is an indication that the seal between the toilet and drain has to be replaced. It's less than a day's work, if that is all you are doing, but the toilet has to be removed, flipped over to remove any residue of the old seal, any remnants of the old seal removed from the drain, and then reinstall the toilet with a new seal. The problem is when the repair was put off long enough that the water has damaged the floor, since the floor will have to be replaced before the toilet is reinstalled. Without seeing a detailed estimate, we don't know how much of the damage was included in that estimate. $20,000 for pipes does seem excessive. $20,000 for pipes, plus repairing all the damage that the water did while it leaked for months, might actually be reasonable depending on how extensive the damage from the water is (warped floors, rotten floor joists, etc.).
The pipes are likely old and collapsed. Everything has a lifetime use cycle and if it is from the 50s or earlier it is over. It is very expensive to replace all piping and the repair the flooring.
This is why a pre-purchase home inspection is so important. You have an objective professional coming out before a person sinks all their hard earned money in to any house. This is not acceptable on any level. That home inspector should’ve caught all this beforehand.

Overlooked they didn’t inspect anything at all. They saw a black woman in my opinion and didn’t do anything. They let her walk into a nightmare. But you can rest assure my sister that their day is coming. No one gets away with playing dirty forever they don’t. Stay steady.
Probably a contractor who has been out of business for decades and may already be dead. Based on the style of house and general condition of the exterior, I'd guess it's well over 30 years old. The problems she has are an indication of proper maintenance or repairs having been neglected for some time, probably not an indication of the quality of the house construction. Her problem is a clear example of why house inspectors tend to make money when older houses are sold.
It might be time for you to look for another place to stay and walk away from that home altogether. They played you and you turn around and play them. That’s how it has to be sometimes.

That's really evil to rip her off like that. 😢 God is whatching.
Some people should not be homeowners.
Sounds like someone was pouring cooking grease down the drain for years before she bought the place.
This is fraud they had to know this and hide it. Inspector isn't liable for missing something like this. At the end of the day I would blame the person/people who hid this. This is fraud from their end.
I would go after the inspector!
I'd go after the insurance company and let them go after the inspector.
My Prayers that GOD will MOVE SOONER THAN LATER! PLACING YOU SOMEWHERE SAFE! I BELIEVE YOU HAVE FAVOR & BLESSINGS COMING! Keep YOUR HEAD UP AS this storm will CEASE! YOU will COME OUT & THRU!
YES FATHER GOD! SURROUND YOUR DAUGHTER WITH PROTECTION AS ONLY YOU CAN DRY HER EYES! WIPING EACH TEAR AWAY!
YES FATHER GOD 🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️ AMEN
the same nashville "builders" have come to FL and are doing the same crap.
Terrible! Every dog has its day. They will reap what they sow. Believe it!!
she should try to find a lawyer who will do pro bono work. Then file a lawsuit against multiple people. That may be her only option.
Overlooked they didn’t inspect anything at all. They saw a black woman in my opinion and didn’t do anything. They let her walk into a nightmare. But you can rest assure my sister that their day is coming. No one gets away with playing dirty forever they don’t. Stay steady.
Owning a home 🏠 is a Straight Scam
Why they be doing her like this
Raw deal. You can rod out the main valve first. Good plumber only who’s certified to check it out. 20k they lying. Use plumber only and save receipts.
Who built this house?
Probably a contractor who has been out of business for decades and may already be dead. Based on the style of house and general condition of the exterior, I'd guess it's well over 30 years old. The problems she has are an indication of proper maintenance or repairs having been neglected for some time, probably not an indication of the quality of the house construction. Her problem is a clear example of why house inspectors tend to make money when older houses are sold.
Very 😢.
This lady might well just pack up and move. File bankruptcy.
It might be time for you to look for another place to stay and walk away from that home altogether. They played you and you turn around and play them. That’s how it has to be sometimes.
😅
She doesn't even speak 2nd grade English. Should she be making such decisions such as purchasing a home without a guardian?
*see kids, this is why you get a man that know his house and cars.*
😂😂😂😂, today women know more about homes and vehicles than men! 😂😂😂😂
do people really talk the way she does how does she work a job and talk like that ?
Just because you talk properly doesn't mean you're smart
