Thank you for your kind words! Thank you for taking the time to hang out with me on this Inspection!
He's one of the best.
This was extremely helpful, I like to see how other inspectors conduct their inspections. I am taking notes as I watch. One thing I like was that he carries a laser pointer- good idea that I have not thought of. Makes it easy to point out issues to clients.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Corey, thanks for taking time to watch and comment
Thank you so much! I'm more than halfway through the courses, and trying to soak up everything I can, as I have no prior experience or knowledge. I'm very excited to get started!
You’re on a great path! Keep soaking up as much knowledge and experience as you can and never stop learning and asking questions!
You got this!
By far the best home inspection video I’ve ever watched

Nice. Thank you.
Thank you very much!
You're welcome!
this video is incredible, the dron camera had a wow! effect
Thanks.
Thank you very informative!
Thank you for watching.
This is an excellent video. I'm a new inspector, still trying to get my processes down and figuring out what works for me. I have a question about the GO-Pro, do you have it running while doing the inspection and then review the footage later? If that's the case, is it to review anything you may have missed before submitting the report to the client, or is it more for personal liability protection, like a police officer's body cam?
Good questions. You can ask the inspector directly by visiting www.nachi.org/certified-inspectors/jeremiah-wheelersburg-cpi-34910
Hey David. The go pro in this video was just to capture footage for this training video.
Great video... thanks. What inspection report app did you use on that inspection??
Home Inspector Pro
Thanks
Good question for Jeremiah at www.nachi.org/certified-inspectors/jeremiah-wheelersburg-cpi-34910
Great instructional video! Couple of questions:
Are you inspecting for the current home owner, potential buyer, selling realtor or buying realtor?
Also, have you considered the drone with a HD camera to avoid going up a ladder to inspect gutters and the roof?
Both! Yes.
This is so awesome! I learned a ton, and enjoy seeing David Navarro do something other than rock my socks off! ( lol , jk Jeremiah .. thx for the content)
Rock on!
Thank you!
You're welcome.
Can we get Jeremiah on some more inspection videos? He’s awesome!
He's one of the best.
Thanks for the encouraging feedback!
@@the3mpodcastwithj.n.wheels713 Of course! I’m studying to take my exams currently. Excited to become an inspector!👌🏼
Very helpful. I've been a carpenter and roofer for 23 years. Looking to stop busting my ass.
Do it. Start here www.nachi.org/become-home-inspector.htm
Helpful video. Audio issues though - mismatched with video in parts.
Which part? Sorry about that.

Jeremiah is great.
What is the website to look up the age of the AC system ?

Great video, what is the name of those Kneepads and where can I get some? Thanks!
I believe those kneepads came from Home Depot. Duluth Trading Company also had a really good pair like this awhile back.
Good question for the inspector. He's at www.nachi.org/certified-inspectors/jeremiah-wheelersburg-cpi-34910
Nice. Thank you!
super gear set up!
You know it!
I would like to know what type of software you are using on your phone.
Ask the inspector at www.nachi.org/certified-inspectors/jeremiah-wheelersburg-cpi-34910
Great video! I can barley hear the audio though even with the Volume all the way up.
Noted!
Hey just wondering what brand your gas detector is?
Good question for Jeremiah.
What software was he using for his report writing?
What inspection software are you using?
Inspector Pro with Kenton Shepherds inspection narratives loaded on it.
Good question. For other types of software at a discount, click the link on Step 3 at www.nachi.org/become-home-inspector.htm
Just curious as to what you did for a living before you became an inspector

Hey @albarrera2757 I was a pastor then a maintenance man, insurance sales man, exterior remodeling sales person and marketer, and a playground maintenance professional and playground inspector. 😅 I’m also an author, podcaster and blogger…😂 oh man…
What is the average price of home inspector should charge.
Anywhere from $375.00 up to and above $1,000 or more depending on other services that are provided like radon, sewer, consulting, training other inspectors…etc. InterNACHI has a great inspection price calculator that I always used.
Great question.
Missed the hurricane ties on the even are installed backwards. @12:35
Agreed. Not a major problem in areas without high wind zones. But good catch.

Look alike. Very different professions.
Love it!😂 I grew up listening to Nirvana and Foo Fighters on repeat while building ramps for my BMX Bike all while intoxicated on two liters of Mountain Dew🎉!
very nice
Thanks for watching.
Awesome Vid!!! One thing maybe you can clear up for a newbie...I notice you're not making very many entries into your HIP App. You're really just inspecting everything and taking a picture here and there. Is this your typical way of inspecting and how much time do you spend at home trying to remember everything to compile your report? Im trying to dial in my method and was curious what made you go this route instead of making all your entries into the report as you are inspecting?
Thanks again for the great vid
Good question. You may want to ask the inspector himself by visiting www.nachi.org/certified-inspectors/jeremiah-wheelersburg-cpi-34910
Great question. For the purpose of this video I wanted to focus on talking rather than filling out my report. For a normal inspection, I will be constantly filling out my report as I go while inserting photos. I usually take between 200-400 photos. And most of them are in my report. My goal is to complete my report in the mobile HIP software. If I can complete it in my mobile software than it will only take me 15-20 min to review it on my laptop in the car and send it to my client before I even leave the home. If I don’t complete it all at the house on my phone, then I rely on my photos not inserted in the HIP software to complete the inspection report later. I include a ton of photos in all of my reports. It makes the reports really long but incredibly helpful for the client and agent. I rarely get questions from clients and agents after an inspection, likely because the photos. I copy and paste narratives from the body of my report under each picture so that there is no questions about what narratives go with what photos. I also include a photo summary at the end of the report just above the written summary so that the client can read the summary and reference the photo summary just above. Here is a link to my Sample Inspection Report:

Surprisingly good! I wasn't so sure when I saw the man bun.
Ha. Jeremiah is a great inspector and a good fella. I wish I had hair like that. - Benjamin 😆
Ha ha😂 I agree. Sometimes I think that about myself when I look in the mirror! Thanks for watching.
what is the mobile app he is using

Wear electrical rated boots and an FVD first before you touch it. Back of the hand should never be recommended. Stay safe
Good recommendation, Kevin. Thank you for posting.
Software?
Software is at the link in www.nachi.org/become-home-inspector.htm#step3
Can you do a breakdown of all of your essential tools!
Good question for the inspector at www.nachi.org/certified-inspectors/jeremiah-wheelersburg-cpi-34910
Always check that the shower arm, the shower faucet, and the tub spout are secure at the wall. Just make sure that the bathroom vent is venting to the exterior. Weather if it goes through the roof or has its own vent at the soffit material
Nice. Thanks.
Why is that breaker outside?? Robbers dream house there
About have of the US is set up with a main disconnect outside.
Why wouldn’t you wait untill you actually use the ladder before setting up?? You think the little sign will stop some neighborhood kid from climbing and possibly falling? Opening your company to a lawsuit makes no sense never leave unattended ladders
Only illiterates would climb the ladder so +1 for society. I smell a tax credit
@@deleteduser3749 illiterates, kids, scam artists.. the worlds full of them why risk it when you can easily set up the later when needed he’s parked probably 40ft from the work area
Thanks for watching.
Grout lines? That's a mortar joint bud.
Good point.
Looks like it needs a bigger air filter
Yes.
Wow you wear all that gear the whole inspection? Knee pads included, Why? no way would I do that, here in Texas I would sweat to death. Not saying its wrong or hating, just kind of in disbelief lol. I carry a flashlight, plug tester and a multi tool. Anything else I need during the inspection I will just go to my tool bag and get it then put it back but that's me. Same with the ladder, I pull it out, get on the roof and inspect it then put it back, never leave it up for any reason.
thanks for watching and commenting
Each their own baby
In a hot neighborhood, damage doesn't mean anything.
It does to the home buyer.
Maybe people who want to be a home inspector or new home inspector will read this. You have to run all the water the entire time you are inspecting the house. You just have to keep moving back-and-forth checking the water sources. If you do not run all the water all the time then you are not doing a good enough inspection. That is how you find main line issues a lot of the time. You will get the plumbing to back up. That is how you really find plumbing leaks under sinks. That is how you really find leaky faucets and so on. If the inspection takes you an hour and a half then all of the water should be running foran hour and a half. Of course there’s times when you have lipless showers or other touchy water sources that you can just tell that you should not leave on and unattended. Just turning the sink on and off is not nearly good enough
If your inspection takes an hour and a half, I question if you did a thorough enough inspection. The goal is quality, not quantity.
Also, I disagree. I don’t run the water for the whole duration of the inspection. I find blockages, leaks and leaking fixtures on every inspection from running it for 20 to 30 minutes and filling up the sink/tub and draining it and draining it.
We agree. Run that water. Thanks for posting.
Its mortar , not grout
Thank you!
Thanks.
There is a water leak at the master bathroom sink drain pipe area. Simple as that. Or you could say, there was a water leak at the master bathroom sink drain pipe area at time of inspection. Not really sure if it’s worth clogging up a report With a picture of a small puddle of water. To each their own
You're right. It's a judgement call. For me, based primarily on my clients' expectations about the information they found valuable coming from me, their inspector.
I’ll never understand walking inside the house and all that stuff before starting the outside. I would have the roof done and the exterior done by the time you even did this time-consuming ritual. I do average 3 to 4 inspections a day 5 to 7 days a week.I understand that most inspectors are not nearly as busy as I am. Not sure, maybe that’s how they are able to waste so much more time
It's great that the inspection process design is up to the inspector.
the standards for home inspectors are to take 2-3 hours per house. Between that, driving, and writing reports......it's time consuming. Houses with more problems take longer. Houses where you have a client present take longer. If you want to work that much, that's fine. But taking your time and being thorough isn't a problem.
@@CodyWantsToRap I go with extreme efficiency, excellent inspections, and 30k a month. Why not have it all 👍
Do you ever have anything positive to say?
@@KevinBaker-xk5bh I tried my best, but it is hard for me. If you knew me you would understand that I am a self-made extremely extremely successful property inspector. I watch other guys and I just think how I could teach them to be so much more efficient and profitable. every chance I get I do help other inspectors.
Who the fk likes inspectors? Nobody ever!!
We love home inspectors.
