Thank you for watching.,
I will b going for the Florida license ,not sure of all the differences of TX vs FL. but still very informative , the cat supervisor was a nice touch maybe keep a can in the ride in future
Have fun! All homes should be inspected by an InterNACHI certified home inspector at www.nachi.org/certified-inspectors. Thanks for commenting. - Ben.
Awesome video! Learned new things here
Thanks for watching.
Very thorough inspection! I just became licensed and I learned a great deal
Nice!!! Did you get hired or working for yourself…

Go get a real degree mate and you'll offer a better service than 99.9% of these fools.
Rei-76 requires to inspect gas lines. Need to use gas detector to check if there is gas leak at all gas lines even gas meter fittings
Nice comment.
Good video Austin. I’m looking into becoming a home inspector, I’m currently living in Minnesota and am moving to Texas at the end of the month. This was helpful. I noticed some differences between the homes around here compared to Texas. Are you available for training. I like to get trained in some in the field inspections before I go out in my own
Go for it!
59:15 it definitely looks like you in the family photo. It also has the letter H on it and your last name starts with an H! lol
I've inspected my own home many times. It's the best type of training. - Ben Gromicko
Not sure I agree with his comments about the foundation. Recommending a structural engineer for the settlement he saw on the front porch...that would get me blacklisted in my area. The porch is just poured on the ground and typically (in my area, anyway) floats independent of the foundation. Of course there's going to be a crack where the porch meets the wall.

agreed. That crack is kind of normal. It is not necessarily and indicator of structural problems. Is better to look for crack on the wall at basements or attached garages to find sings of possible structural problems. And even if we find some cracks there we should be very careful with our recommendations. If we recommend an structural engineer basically we are telling the client that the house is going to fall down...
This can be due to heat differences where the joints occur or simply the house settling in, WHICH IS NORMAL. It is not worrying in the least.
You do a thorough inspection
Austin is one of the best inspectors.
Question since this was done in Tyler Texas. I noticed that you commented on the driveway which is not something we normally do in Texas. Did you comment on it because it was for internachi or are you just going above and beyond the SOP‘s? I’m just starting out but it seems to me that even though we don’t comment on on flat work in Texas if there is a trip hazard you would still want to make a comment on that.
Thank you for watching and commenting.
Love the Vid! Just curious SOP states "535.231 (a) Plumbing Systems...(2) The inspector is not required to: (D) inspect:(ii) circulating pumps, free-standing appliances, solar water heating systems, water-conditioning equipment, filter systems, water mains, private water supply systems, water wells, pressure tanks, sprinkler systems, swimming pools, or fire sprinkler systems
Why inspect the sprinklers?
Hi, it is my understanding that some inspectors will do things such as this, simply as a courtesy to their client.
You can ask the inspector at www.nachi.org/certified-inspectors/austin-hilbun-147895
Hey Austin, what brand and size is your ladder? Is this the only ladder that you use? Do you recommend it? Thanks
Good question for the inspector. He's at www.nachi.org/certified-inspectors/austin-hilbun-147895
Some of deficiencies that you did not mention：1，Recommend to install gutters around the home；2，Tree roots in the front is too close to foundation；3，AC disconnect needs to be caulked around；4，kick-out flashing missing in some area
5，Vegetation that touching exterior walls should be trimmed；6，Exterior light bulbs need fixtures
7，Check the dishwasher is loose or not，and recommend you to inspect dishwasher first because it takes long time
And improper waste plumbing lines under kitchen sink needs to be mentioned too
Good stuff, Sam. Thanks for watching and commenting.
The emmittance valve was too low. It needs to be as high as the high water level of the basin.
Agreed. Thanks for watching and commenting.
What inspection software do you use?
That's step #3 at www.nachi.org/everything
Compares to those interior cosmetic issue，Gas leaks checking is much more important…
Agreed.
At 31:45, is that possible poison ivy growing up the exterior wall? If so, would it be nice to just let the client know?
Agreed.
35:31 man even the beds are Bigger in Texas! 😅
Right.
Informative video, I would recommend using every day words next time and not trying to make everything sound so fancy and technical. Sometimes less is more.
Less is more. Agreed. Thanks for watching.
I wouldn't have ran the dishwasher with dishes in it unless I brought along some pods, just me. Otherwise, had me interested every step of the way - very informative video. Thanks for posting.
Good tip. Thank you for watching and commenting.
Nice video but for the first time I have seen someone more dangerous than Gordon Ramsey. Jokes aside, This was a great inspection
Thank you for watching.
Why is it ok for the breaker to be in the closet
The panelboard should not be located in the closet. New construction would restricted that installation location.
Many things this inspector tested are not really required by SOP. And in those cases is better idea not to inspect them since they increases the risk of liability. And it is unnecessary since they are not in the scope of the home inspection. Is good idea though to inform the client why they were not inspected. Like refrigerators for instance. Those are consider personal property not part of the house.
The inspector should err on the side of caution and exceed what the SOP requires as we explain in this article www.nachi.org/exceed-or-not-exceed.htm
@@internachi but I consider that should be shown in the video as a personal decision. Not as a part of a regular inspection.Mainly for those who are still learning about home inspections.I consider it could be a good idea that the inspector explain that he is exceeding the scope of the inspection maybe for getting a better review from the client. Since that is something that each inspector should decide.Is not part of any SOP. I follow the ASHI sop and under that ASHI and under my own understanding is better to inspect ONLY what is in the scope of the inspection.And as I said explain the client very well that scope.You can have a very satisfied and happy client inspecting ONLY what is in the scope of the inspection if you have a good communication with your client.Thank you for sharing the video.I appreciate it.
bruh, y'all are not even engineers, let alone civil engineers. This is making me depressed as hell. Y'all charge how much for this bullshit? I'm gonna make bank with this.
Texas ha its own set of SOPs inspectors have to follow first before any other set of SOPs. Tex’s inspections may seem different in areas.
Also it should be noted that running the water and leaving it unmonitored can result in a possible catastrophe. Always make sure you are vigilant in your inspections.
Good point.
Im not even sure I should buy this house now that I know the sprinkle heads are not adjusted, I think the price needs to come down 10k!!
Y'all just really created a bullshit job instead of hiring a proper engineer to give you a cost of repair and factor that into the price, didnt yall?
We inspect homes to find small problems before they become too big. Every home should be inspected by an InterNACHI® certified home inspector to make sure they are safe, functioning, and healthy. Engineers don't know what to look for. And I'm not sure what a "proper" engineer is.
Dude is out of breath just walking around the house 😅😅
Bro, how is this man sweating so much for doing nothing, it is insane. American people need help
Thanks for watching.
Terrible 🫠
?
What was terrible about it?
@@dubz1020 the house, overall quality of building is just funny as hell.
Thanks.
