I passed my state exam and i am certified home inspector with InterNACHI. I took they're courses on line and passed the first try. I got I think 10 or 11 certificates. Ill give you guys and gals this one very important advise. Read everything!! Do not get lazy and skip. I mean read every thing. I studied 7 hrs a day for about two weeks and I was ready for the exam. Not easy. Especially if you don't have a construction background or electrical like me. Good luck!!
Good job, Vicktor.
I got my home inspector licence it was 230 questions I passed finally it took me 7 trys
Should have taken some language courses first. I mean "I took THEY'RE courses"? you took they are courses?
@@cassidywest5539 Ah you got me there buddy. Good job. Probably a typo. After all English is my fifth language. I am trying harding here.
Hi Vicktor, how to prepare the state exam ? Thx is the InterNACHI good for preparing state exam also? Thx
This is why I joined InterNACHI. Going through my pre-licensing courses for Tennessee, currently. Thanks for the wonderful inspection video. Excited to watch many many more before taking my NHI Exam.
Glad you enjoyed watching the video.
Ray, thank you so much for your inspection. I'm on a course at the moment and it's so beneficial to watch these and look at the process stage by stage. This is also way more interesting and informative than just reading. Thanks again 😊
Glad you enjoyed watching the video.
Thank you, I loved this video. These videos are so great to keep sharp!
Thank you for watching and commenting.
Informative and useful, thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Very Informative thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Great job, would have been great for new inspectors to see a close up of missing drip edge flashing as it is such a major problem. Some roofers will even argue that they bend the shingles over the gutter back edge and “ create “ the drip edge, wrong. Good subject. Thanks
Oh, those roofers!
I can’t wait to get my home inspection certificate for ontario in Canada 🇨🇦 and you sir explained very professionally and inspected thoroughly wish you all success 💯

Siding and/or trim should never be in contact with the porch or patio concrete, those areas will hold moisture and rot out the material over time. That is an improper installation of the siding/trim and not an area I would recommend caulking as my note. Also that side window trim you said needed caulk I never see them caulked and if you look at trimming a window all the caulking is done around the window between the siding and window before that beauty trim is installed so it doesn't need it. Its just for a clean finished look which caulking would ruin.
Good stuff.
Sometimes leaks don't show up in the cabinets from drain leaks or bowl leaks just running the water. Best practice to check for leaks. Fill the sink up with water than release the water. This checks a couple of things. Leaks in the drain(below the sink), possible cracks in the sink. The bottom of the sink where the drain and the sink connects, this test will test if it is leaking. Sometimes just running water won't show that leak. Lastly it will test to see how well the drains do with water. ~Licensed plumber that does plumbing inspections for clients.
Correct.
Great job!! Very informative. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Amazing and helpful video! IMO: Upstream GFCI protection is such a pain. It's so much easier to spend the extra money and put GFCI receptacles downstream at every receptacle near water.
Glad it helped!
Thanks
Welcome.
I'm currently a realtor, planning to become an inspector. I assumed inspectors did more when checking the HVAC system. I helped a buyer recently on a house that had the gas off when the inspector went by. He couldn't make it back so we went by to check the furnace and it kicked on but did not seem to be blowing hot air. Would most inspectors check for that or just say that it is functioning because it kicks on and blows air?

awesome
Thank you for watching and commenting.
Im a member and have been studying for my state exam...I'm fine and ready now just to nervous to go take the test...
Best wishes to you. Prepare at www.nachi.org/qa
How come you didn't check the fuse/breaker for the AC to see if it matches the maximum allowable fuse on the AC data plate ?
Many home inspectors do that. Yes. Not required.
Wooooow.....so many negative comments here. This isn't FABI FORUMS, is it? Lol... Everyone has someone to add to this industry, EVERYONE inspects differently. He is doing an S.O.P. inspection. Remember that. 8 )

Thanks.
Garden bed is supposed to be as far away from the building perimeter as possible, instead, the perimeter should be covered by concrete footpath or driveway with slope outward to keep water away.
Exactly.
Is that corrosion on the valve at 1:02:57 something I have to put in the report? He doesn't mention it in that video? Thanks
Good catch. Agreed.
Nice overall inspection, thanks.. One question during end-of-video garage door inspection - I noticed about 1/4 of the garage interior was unfinished, including paper-faced insulation and exposed rafters and roof sheathing - wouldn't these things be an obvious fire-code violation?
In some areas, only the side of the living space in the garage is required to be insulated/finished (union carpenter)
Typically between garage and living space and only fire taped sheet rock joints.
Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed it.
Soffit venting ... was that an adequate amount? Also that step down from the back patio door is more than 7 inches ... list as trip hazard? One last question, do you perform a pre-walkthrough to take CYA photos?
All homes should be inspected by an InterNACHI certified home inspector at www.nachi.org/certified-inspectors. Thanks for commenting. - Ben.
I have 2 question maybe someone could answer. I looked up the requirements for Indiana home inspectors and it says you need 60 hours of approved home inspector training, 12 hours of practical training with an approved instructor and pass the test. But on the interNACHI website it says their course is 90 hours total. 78 hours online training, 12 hours of practical in person, plus the test. Is there a reason interNACHI requires more the Indiana requires? 2nd question, If I get a membership with interNACHI and do the online coursework there, which is supposed to be free with a paid membership, how much approximately does it cost to get the 12 hours of practical in person training with an approved instructor? I have only found places around me in Indiana that offer the whole package. As in, online course work and practical in person training together.
Hi, Dawn. You'll want to visit www.nachi.org/licensing-and-certification/us/indiana
I had to revisit this. Isn't the test for self closing hinges 3 feet to close?
Interesting question. Not sure if that test is mentioned in the IRC.
I have a question.... if there is a huge 4ft hole in the foundation under the home black mold, hanging insulation and missing insulation. Moisture barrier with huge holes in it. Pooling water and a DYI sumppump made of a 5 gallon bucket. Is the inspector supposed to tell you as the buyer this information after inspection of the home?
Only if the inspector observed defects and deemed them to be material defects. I recommend reading the report again, then asking the inspector to comment, and possibly re-visit.

This is what it looks like under my newly bought home. Im a first time homebuyer. The realtor told us to not show up during the inspection.... when we got to the house after an hour. The inspector said he was done and needed to be payed $600.00 he had a bad arm. It was in a sling. I feel so dumb! I was to excited to buy a home and wasn't looking closely i guess. The home was built in the late 50'
@@internachi
The home inspector was through the Relitor office. He worked for the woman who sold us this home through Cadwell realtors! The inspectors right arm was sprung and in a sling. Im starting to feel first time homebuyers get played by the realtors.
What brand/model is that electrical tester?
Not sure.
Where'd you buy that sweet vest/tool pouch?
Glad you enjoyed watching the video.
You didn’t check the garage door for pressure stop
Also, won’t you need to note the wiring used on the electrical panel? Do you just exclude if you’re not going to open the panel?
Good questions for the inspector at www.nachi.org/certified-inspectors/arthur-kline-cmi-23150
CO should be 15' away from gas appliances. 5' up the wall and within 10-15' of sleeping quarters.
Nice.
So do you do the report at the end of the day? And what software do you use. Just passed state exam in Florida
How was the whole process ? I’m about to start the process for Florida
@@dannyss7117 easy man. You got it
You go through internachi??
@@dannyss7117 yes.
Visit www.nachi.org/florida
I'm very much interested in this career, I don't know anyone who's in it though. Is it worthwhile to be in, and if you have an insulation allergy, can you still work in this field?
Yes. Just mask up. And I suggest beginning by watching www.nachi.org/webinars/2021/business-marketing-webinar-for-internachi-members
Hola queridos amigos! Cuanto cuesta en promedio una inspeccion como la de este video. Gracias
Una inspección de vivienda como esa cuesta entre $300 y $500 dependiendo de su ubicación en los Estados Unidos y Canadá. Para encontrar un inspector de viviendas en su área y solicitar una cotización, use www.nachi.org/certified-inspectors.
Wow I can’t believe missed that HUGE electrical defect
Huge.
@@internachi I would take this video down
I missed it too. What was it? What time did you see it?
What gloves are you using ?
Mine.
Noticed he didn't check the toilet if it was secured properly by giving it a little push with his leg 1:00:09
Good one.
Where u get that tool vest??!
That's a great question for the inspector. Please reach out to him. Ray Kline www.nachi.org/certified-inspectors/arthur-kline-cmi-23150
There's no way that step out of the back patio door is to code. That appeared to be well over 8" step out.
Edit: I see you addressed that later in the video.
Thank you for watching and commenting.
I’ve been checking grading and such with my level. I don’t think assuming incorrect gutter slope just by looking at it is a good way to inspect. Show proof
I appreciate that! Thanks for watching.
Très bon suivie merci
Vous êtes bienvenue. Merci d'avoir regardé et commenté.
Please include implication statements.
That's in his report, I'm sure.
Defects? Or deficiency?
Defects.
I don't know why, but this one was hard to follow. Feels like there was too much jumping around, going inside then back outside, then back inside, and so on.
I understand what you're saying. Thanks for the feedback. We'll pass it along to the inspector.
The second he said there was hail damage on that roof ... an observation he makes from the ground .... I stopped watching the video. He has absolutely no call to say that and I would be disappointed as a prospective homeowner or seller. What is the age of the shingle? Is it a sun-exposed slope? This would account for excessive granule loss as a course of normal wear & tear. Is there evidence of collateral impact damage to the metals?? The guttering looked pretty dang smooth with no evidence of hail impacts, even on the lips. Roofers are not "experts" and I sure as heck wouldn't recommend the client call one. They are there to sell you a roof and convince you to get your insurance involved, which is pretty much the only way he'll get paid and he KNOWS it. A responsible roofer would have completed the temp repair on that front slope instead of a stupid patch. The materials for a spot repair are cheap and the labor is barely more than that to install the patch. That patched spot is most likely not a result of hail. If hail were so large as to cause a leak in the roof (btw, hail impacts rarely cause roofs to leak), damage would be obvious in that very short clip he showed from the roof perspective and the guttering would be dinged to heck. My guess is that the tree canopy overhang grew out over the roof and caused damage, necessitating its temp patching. I have been an independent insurance adjuster for 15 years, and before that back in the day I did roofing. I am currently studying for the home inspector's license.
Yeah, pretty bizarre how quickly he jumped to the roof needing replacement, honestly looks like it will be fine for many years to come.
That's the magic of video. We inspect the systems before filming.
I agree with everything you said the fact that he inspects from the ground binoculars but had a ladder there to look at the gutters only? Why didn't he check the drip edge flashing that he said was missing and have a picture of that when he was on the ladder. I know we're not required to go on roofs but no inspector that's ever worked for me would not walk that roof. And if there was hail damage to the roof vents it would have been obvious and we would have taken a picture of that. So I don't agree with his assessment that it of what he thought happened to that roof. I agree it was the patch was probably from the tree. He also didn't mention the failed gutter at the corner of the house that was capped off and probably was an underground drain that failed and had to put up an extension on the ground. When you find obvious things like that you have to point them out as a home inspector what is that white cap on the ground most people will ask you. And it's probably a failed underground drain system. That's as far as I got on this video I'll try to look at more later I've been expecting for over 20 years. And I agree with your assessments in comments. It's always good to listen to see how other people inspect though so when I have time I'll look at more of this video.
Too much random recommending. You have to be careful with too much of that. I would really like to sit down with this guy and let him watch me put together a home inspection report. Hopefully his report he does not do so much random recommending. A lot of people will follow the recommendation to a T and when it does not work they will be calling you
I understand what you're saying. Thanks for the feedback. We'll pass it along to the inspector.
This was a horrible inspection video. Way too many missed defects. How did InterNACHIE allow it on the world wide web?
I thought he did a good job. What defects did he miss?. Please enlighten us with your wisdom almighty one.
I understand what you're saying. Thanks for the feedback. We'll pass it along to the inspector.
All this video did for me is show just how much internachi SOP is the bare minimum and not worth the money
Right. It's the absolute minimum standard.
Oh dang. I was going to invest in them. Who do you recommend for training?
@@miajay8558they do work don’t listen do him
And everything needs a good caulking.
why would one want to wear a shirt that says "inspector" on it real big like that? Seems a bit silly to me. To each their own, its not something I would wear. Company name and logo on the front upper left chest is typical and good enough.
When I show up, especially early, on a vacant house, I want the neighbors to know who I am and what I'm doing.
@@internachi I've been inspecting over 21 years and that has never been an issue, not even once. Who cares what the neighbors think anyway? I would tell them if asked plus that's what a business sign on your car is for but again, you do what you want.
i like jim krum better
Okay. It's spelled "Krumm."
All that for $30
Yep.
how can this inspection be 30$?
Why on Earth do you go for the bare minimum? It's a disservice to your client.
Agreed.
