There are home inspection companies that have people that have very little knowledge and make alot of mistakes sometimes they make small problems sound like the property should be condemned. Recently had a inspection were it was noted that the home had signs of termites (rare for the area) when i questioned the inspector about a block house having termites he said it was because the spit firewood wood had markings. But none observed or seen. And the pile wasn't near the house. Owner agreed to treat the property regardless.

Excellent way to go about that! I like it.

My builder said if anyone goes on the roof, it voids the warranty so I had the inspector go on the roof and then I told him you didn’t go on the roof you were on a ladder. Needless to say, there was a leak in the roof when a huge monsoon came, they had to rip half the roof off to lay down the tiles correctly, so that water wouldn’t run down and into the house and drip down a fixture and pour onto my dining room table. This is in Arizona. That same inspector found that they had put no insulation above my kitchen and living room, and the rest of the house had half the insulation required by Law so the builder put down double insulation in the whole house.

Most roofs can be inspected with a pair of binoculars. This breaks roofs by walking on them and blames it on the contractor. He thinks that his videos are good advertising and they are...for people who don't know any better.

I tell everybody this story when the topic of home inspections comes up. I run a plumbing and heating company. I get a call from a landlord who lives 4 hours away that his college dorm has no heat. Six units in a old 1860s frat house. I go there and find 2 coal boilers made in the 1890s that were converted to natural gas sometime in the '30s. They are completely covered in asbestos and the last maintenance tag that I see was in the 1990s. The boiler feeder / relief valve was faulty and wasn't allowing any pressure through to the boiler and instead leaking water all over the ground. I tell the guy that it's going to be very expensive to work on a system like this because parts are unobtainable and I'm not even going to shut the boiler off to do this job cuz I don't want to have to recommission it. The homeowner says that I am lying and that there's nothing wrong with the heating systems because they would have been marked on the home inspection. He had no idea that his boilers were over 120 years old. I explained to him that he has the oldest boilers I've ever seen still functioning and it's all piped in 2.5" iron pipe which is a very odd size. The cost to replace the boilers would be north of $50,000 not including the asbestos abatement. So I fixed the thing and had to add a relief valve and the bill came up over $1,000. Homeowner contacts the home inspector and I get a copy of the home inspection report. Under heating system all the notes said were "heat functioning in all rooms. Boiler room door locked." I guess the home inspector said there was no way for him to inspect the boilers because the door was locked and he had the new owner sign a statement saying he couldn't enter the room so he couldn't guarantee his inspection was complete. The new homeowner signed that paper.

Would you die in someone's 150° attic or fall through the ceiling and be permanently disabled for $400? Some insurance won't even cover you to go into attics. A roofer on the other hand is looking at $10-20k jobs and has insurance coverage for falls but pays a premium for it so they are more willing to risk their lives going into your attic. If there isn't evidence of termites anywhere else, then there isn't going to be termites in the attic, so it doesn't even make sense to thoroughly inspect the attic.

We need more inspectors like Cy Fy. Very dedicated to his job and does what he gets paid to do: inspections.

We hired a professional home inspector to inspect our new house before we took possession in Colorado. Months later, when weather turned cold, and we turned on our previously inspected furnace, it would run for about 5 minutes and turn off. Had the home builder warrantee guy come out, then the furnace guy, then the roofer. Turns out we had an attic FILLED with carbon monoxide because the roofing crew had kicked the exit flue out of their way while roofing (the completely broken exit flu was sitting in a corner of the attic!), covering over the flue area with shingles. The furnace guy nearly blew a gasket, as his careful work had been destroyed. Yep, he had to be present while the roofer’s guys had to rework the roof shingles to accommodate a new furnace flue. I contacted the ‘inspector’ regarding the issue (providing photographic evidence in the attic and on the roof), providing him with information on a proper furnace inspection, as directed by the furnace installer. If he’d placed the front panel back on the furnace, closed the door to the furnace closet, and waited an additional 5 minutes, the furnace would have shut off and displayed an error code. Why didn’t he do this? Because he inspected the house on a 90 degree day, and it was too hot and uncomfortable to run a furnace. What? NOBODY was living there! In the very least, just go outside and LOOK for the furnace flu!

We had no recourse to even sue anyone. It’s sad what people will do to a young couple who just got married and had two kids. They even covered over the rotten Eves with aluminum siding stuff.

As a roof inspector, who has over 25 years of roofing experience, I am positive that no man with a drone, pole camera, or a roof inspection from a ladder is equal to or better than a roof inspection from a person that takes pride in his craft and who has walked on the entire roof. You can't tell me you saw if tiles were nailed to state code? Saw ALL of the broken and harline cracked tiles? inspected the underlayment at random choice locations? Saw all possible headlap issues or exposed nails and many other possible issues from a drone, pole camera, or from a ladder? Absolutely nothing beats walking on a roof during an inspection. Anything else is a partial inspection and I if it was my house I would rather go with a contractor that actually walked on it, made his notes on the roof, and also took his measurements right then and there too. I dont need someone cutting corners, ever heard of Hastings Cut-off? The "Short-Cut" the Donner Party took? If you cut corners on an inspection you'll more than likely cut corners on any job and possibly anywhere else and that says alot in my book... When some one says that "their work" is just as good as the other guy who took the time, does it by the book, or does it better than by the book, it shows me all I need to know. It shows someone who is a "gold brick" and only does the least amount of work possible just to "get by." I would not hire that type of inspector and make sure to pass that info on onto the next person who asks for a referral. Anyone who measures from Google satellite view is doing 1 of 3 things, (because Google satellite view does not take account for roof pitches) 1st thing is that they have overestimated the job and charged you more than the guy that took the ime to measure it by tape or measuring wheel. 2nd, have hit it right on which is the least likely of the 3 scenarios. And 3rd, their Google satellite measurements are less than the actual roof measurements. So at the end of the day either the inspector is screwing himself or screwing over the proerty owner. Do you think that the inspector wants to screw himself over and eat a cost for having to bring in extra material just to complete a job they didnt measure right in the first place?

My last home inspector at least used a camera on a long pole to take pictures of my roof. To say no to doing anything about inspecting a roof should disqualify you as a home inspector.

In no state is a home inspector required to walk roofs or use a drone. You need to ask these questions before you can choose one. I walk as many roofs as possible

The guy saying he won't walk it because the pitch is probably just afraid to walk a tile roof and damage some tiles. You know there are roofs that you won't walk and a tile roof is better referred to a licensed roofer who is used to walking on a tile roof. A qualified roofer can inspect it without damaging the tile and give an estimate for repairs at the same time.

I’ve never seen a slate roof without at least 1 cracked tile.

A seller’s inspector vs a buyer’s inspector.

The first house I bought, home inspector did not go on the roof. It being my first home, I didn't know he was supposed to. If he had, I would have known I needed a roof replacement. Didn't find that out until the leaks popped up that fall. Also, on his report it said he didn't go on the roof due to bad weather. I was there for the entire time he did the inspection because I had the keys to the home. It was a sunny day. Oddly enough, a few years later when we sold, it was that inspector's son that inspected the house for the potential buyers. He did everything his dad didn't. Then looked over his dad's report and told us what was wrong and where his dad dropped the ball.

This guy is worth every penny when buying a house.

Wow that was quite a big mistake by the first inspector. I understand being afraid of heights and slopes but that's major damage to me as a homeowner.

Thank you for raising the bar....American Standards were the best in the world beacuse of patriots like you.

One important thing to know is that the "professional home inspector" you just hired might have been an accountant 6 months ago. He completed an online course, passed a test, and magically became a home inspector.

Home inspectors are generalist, not tradesmen. If you want someone to inspect every literal inch, you best be hiring all the trades to inspect their respective areas and not cry when they hand you the bill.

I can understand the first inspector not walking on the roof, if, he didn't want to break tiles. It's NOT too steep at all. We use expensive drones to inspect the roof if we encounter copper, slate, concrete, etc.. roofing. That previous inspector was lazy and didn't care. He assumed because it was a new build, that nothing was wrong.

Technically speaking It is illegal for a company to walk on a pitched roof without a harness.

Did that inspector work for the secret service in his last job by chance?

So I just bought a mobile home. We had some minor issues with it and I called the company to come fix the issues. They came out in a few days and fixed everything. So buying a mobile home in my eyes is better than buying a brick and mortar house. At least my home is safe and secure 💅🏻

So the other inspector passed the entire inspection I believe

My inspector failed me in so many ways.he missed very obvious problems and some not so obvious ones. After consulting with my attorney I was told all he can be held liable for in my state is the inspection fee.

I’ve been an inspector a little over 10 years long enough to know a thing or two. Yes I know 20+ year guys. A home inspector who does not make the effort and misses things does not last long. It is a brutal unforgiving business.

I was doing a truss inspection While doing I saw other issues. After talking to homeowner he explain me how he hired a inspector which didn't go in the attic and top of roof

Said they walked the roof then gives an explanation that the roof pitch was too steep to walk without a harness so they left it for someone else to do and marked everything on the roof as inspected. Hopefully whoever they handed that into was smart enough to read it and tell it's a false report so that inspector could be reprimanded.

Like the flattest roof too 😂

I once hired a home inspector who would not go on the roof or even the attic, he was recommended by my realtor, fortunately everything was fine, but I’d never hire one through a realtor again.

That 4/12 pitch looks deadly!!. 😂

as someone who gets on roofs regularly I find it hilarious he considers that roof to be steep

Most home inspectors don’t, roof inspections are free from most roofing companies
