It isn't necessarily a racket, but they pair up with a realtor or two, and they bust them out. Since the realtor recommends their guy, the buyer usually accepts. This particular problem isn't only a problem in Canada, let me tell you
Lots of technically-minded retired people certify as home inspectors via e-learning. They are cheaper to hire. If you are taking on a potentially high-risk property, a professional general contracting consultant is the way to go - Someone who's spent years in the trades in your jurisdiction and has seen it all.
ok this reminds me of jacking up a mobile home over my head and i'm 6 ft tall my dad and myself was always on pins and needles when we had to do it and the customer got charged for the extra height because it is that stressful only one time we called in a crane company to lift the house up on pylons sense we were not jacking that one up we didn't charge them any thing over 4 feet of the ground it gets very dangerous i've seem a 30'000 lb home actual roll up hill
Any home inspection that includes "Contingent on sale" and you like the house, HIRE A PROFESSIONAL ENGINEER. IT WILL BE THE BEST MONEY YOU WILL EVER SPEND!!!!
What's the point of moving the air conditioner? There's no 'air intake' with the air conditioner. It's not going to be sucking in anything from those exhausts.
I think the production company that produced this must have gotten a deal with a local punk rock band. Got to be the WORST background music in TV history. Otherwise excellent!
He/she was paid though. The quality of a professional is hard to judge by someone not in the trade. The problem is the hiring manage I.e. home owner cannot judge such quality. These guys are charging the same rate but obviously they are not the same. If I know the problem why even bother hiring these inspectors?
Often the home inspector recommended by the real estate agent won't look too hard beyond noting some small stuff that's easily fixed. Generally better to hire an inspector independently. Also, in many places, most anyone can be a home inspector even if they have little to no experience in the building trades. Home inspection is better than nothing, but often provides false security unless one does, as you suggest, and looks deep into the report and verifies various things themselves.
Damion was right to question that concrete. Solid work
What this series has taught me is that canadian home inspectors must have a great pay off side business.
Actually this home inspector gave it ⭐️⭐️⭐️ out of ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Always do more for people than they expect and you will always be rewarded in life. You will never lack.
Wow, really nice job on that extension. Beautiful.
the computer animations are freaking dope
Lol oh no a butterfly landed on the roof…..” huge explosion “ lol
Thank you for not dumping more junk to the environment
Wow, the Missus is tiny and near full gallop to keep up with the fella😂
22:15 that was scary when Damion kicked over the pillar😮.
Dance moves 5.6 out of 10 🤣
Lets buy a 3 out of 10. What could go wrong?
Very nice save that was very dangerous when you started
the camera guy got into the attic no problem
Good stuff happens to get people like Mike said
Good stuff loved the show
Great transformation
I like that you post videos of the show, but why is the video speed up....??

It looks like a really cool house. Mike needs to find a good crane to support the addition.
Before they corrected the back room, you could see the lean on the thing. yikes!
I surprised that camera guy actually got up into that attic
Holmes makes a living and our entertainment, on a-hole contractors and crappy inspectors in Canada.
@14:40: They replaced rigid aluminum venting pipe with flex pipe? Seems worse.
I think that was a stainless steel flex, it should outlast the other by decades.
The film is running at high speed. Hard to pay attention.
Thanks

How or Who pays for all the reconstruction fixes
The crew donates time and the TV show also puts in money.

@13:48: Possible ignition of purged gas.
when standing under the room and talking about how unsafe it is.. why was no one wearing hard hats? safety first
Lol did Clayton say that Clay grew up on the street??
I think he meant she grew up on THIS street.
Audio is on speed!
Are they having a competition to see who can speak the fastest?
It's speed up to get past the copyright check. Play at .75 and it will sound normal.
Why do you speed up video?
To fool the TH-cam's copyright protection. Play it back at .75 speed and it's fine.
I think the production company that produced this must have gotten a deal with a local punk rock band. Got to be the WORST background music in TV history. Otherwise excellent!
Love Mike Holmes, wish every contractor was like him. This sped-up version is unwatchable. Bad washed out color too.
That's intentional for it to remain up. Slow the speed down to .75 and it's fine.
Ashfalt haha
3:05 PVC pipes too close to air conditioner , solution : move air conditioner , not re route cheap pipe ? why Mike?
David Edgren yeah. They moved the air conditioning haha.
They were going to replace their AC anyway, so removing the old one was the easier solution
@@stephenhunter70: Yeah, but it's also a matter of re-routing the line sets.
Everyone gets mad at the home inspector.. well, you do know that you can take that report and do a visual too to verify the report.
He/she was paid though. The quality of a professional is hard to judge by someone not in the trade. The problem is the hiring manage I.e. home owner cannot judge such quality. These guys are charging the same rate but obviously they are not the same. If I know the problem why even bother hiring these inspectors?
Derek Charette you have major problems... seek help!

What's the point of hiring the guy if you can see the problems yourself?
Penge mager🤑👎🏻👷🏻♀️🇩🇰
