- Sian hired a contractor to pour a new foundation around the perimeter of her house, but the wall was too small for the size of the house. As the upper part of the house overhangs over the foundation, Mike Holmes steps in to shore up Sian's home.

Mike Holmes you're one of the reasons why I started in the construction industry when I watched you as a teenager and I'm 48 years of age and I'm still going when I do my jobs I do my best to help people that is the first most important part of my profession
Weird considering his first TV appearance was 20 years ago.
The sound disappeared near the end, sadly.
I thought it was my headphones, but that sucks I wanted to hear what he had to say and who made those drawings for him.
I thought it was on my end. Glad to know it wasn't.
Not even close captions worked
@@jabressdolath7657 There was nothing to caption.
Mr Holmes is well worthy of Respect.
I laugh when I hear that the contractor got wind of Holmes on Homes coming in to fix it and backtracked to the point of not only dropping the lien, but paying half the engineering cost. He knows damned well that if it goes to court and Holmes testifies, his ass is grass. Quite flatly if it had gone to court I'd love to have seen the provincial overseers of the code inspectors come in and have to look at it. Quite flatly, the local inspector should have lost his ****ing job for approving that.
Also, as @jimbrand2806 noted: sound cuts in and out for the last 3 minutes, then vanishes.
He's not QUITE the world's most terrifying expert witness, but the idea of going up against him scares me shitless.
Sounds like the contractor has the city inspector on his payroll, or they are related.
@@ICountFrom0 Truthfully though any judge with eyes would be able to look at that and know something isn't right.
@@ICountFrom0 he might not be the scariest, but he is the one with a tv show so anyone who knows the homeowner will know who fucked up the house.
I would love to see a series where they go after the contractors and inspectors involved in these total disasters! HGTV are you listening? lol....love that the contractor got wind and dropped the lien and paying half the engineering...sounds like they are trying to pray away a lawsuit they would very likely lose...and I hope the owners sue them anyway!
Sadly... lawsuit is unlikely, as she doesn't have the money to go after them for it.
@@wolphin732 no, I was talking about a television show that went after the bad guys not the individual homeowners LOL.
@@wolphin732hopefully someone will do it probo
@@capicolaspicy Or the show backs the homeowners and the homeowner pays the show back after the lawsuit. If they televise it the ad income and such would pay for the suit itself.
There's a show called Catch a Contractor that did that. Only had two seasons, but it's pretty funny. I think it's on Apple TV now.
Another great job..So glad an honest guy stepped in..
I remember being so Damn ANGRY when this episode came out!!
Been a while since we’ve seen an episode with Mike on the tools. Excited to watch this whole episode.
the older stuff like this one he puts in alot of labour, doesnt have the money yet to pay other people to do it for him lol
@@danielbricker7204 yeah I think there are a grand total of two episodes of Holmes Inspection where he actually touches a tool because the work required was far beyond anyone else's scope or testicular fortitude
We need a whole world of 'Mike's '.....why can't the men of this world be as honorable as Mike Holmes?
Money on the contractors' part, and overwork on the inspectors'
@@richardm6704 I wonder if the inspector didn't get some kind of kick back for passing it... I hope the contractors and inspectors all lose there job/certifications that put her in that spot to start with..
I feel badly for the owners spent their money dealing with the engineers and inspectors. It caught Mike off the guard when he noticed everything weren’t structural properly. It was scary to think that the house could fall through. Mike and his crew had to make sure the basement was stabled properly. It took them a while to finish everything in timely. Good job to Mike and his team.
You can tell that the kids even feel better about the house. That's what it's all about.
When MIKE HOLMS comes to negotiate... that also means he might end up as an expert witness in a countersuit... so yha, you settle, you settle FAST.
She and her husband have four children, three of them teenagers who likely all want their own room in this modest house. The son probably prefers having his own room in the basement. They spent a lot of money in order to create a usable basement, but it went horribly wrong. I cannot understand some of the comments here which accuse her of not caring for her children.
I was happy to have my own room in the basement (which I concreted and built with my father) as a teenager. Is it so unusual to live in a basement room in the US or Canada?
Sadly Holmes did only half a job for this family in the two weeks given to him by producers and did not complete the basement in this 2004 episode. In a 2010 episode they had seven weeks to fix the termite house and spent US$150,000!
The show didn't have the financial backing of as many sponsors in the first couple of seasons. Mike routinely contributed his own money, which ended up being in the 10s of thousands in the early years, because he couldn't just walk away.
Thank you Mike and your Crew. For making it Right
I'd like to know what happened with the lien and the suit. I wish they would make a follow up show of those they have helped over the years to show how their work has held up and how the families are doing now.
He said the contractor heard Mike was there to fix his screw up and called the homeowner. They dropped the lien and even paid for half the enginerring bill.
excellent, thanks for the info. Have a great rest of your week.@@tthomas1111
Back in the mid 00's I worked for a guy who did foundations.
He had one job to raise an old house by about 2-1/2 feet to give a walkable basement, and to replace the crumbling fieldstone foundation.
Before the contract was even drawn up he talked to the guy and told him that all of his house would be strained, and he would level at least the first floor.
Then came the engineering drawings, the permits, and the purchase of a trailer full of 100 ton bridge jacks, the rental of a mini skid steer to avoid killing laborers with wheelbarrow loads of stones and concrete.
The job took months, and afterward there were cracked windows to replace, doors to replace that had been planed over decades to fit out-of-square frames, the roof had to be repaired.
-
The homeowner was happy even with the stuff that was damaged to make the house level, because he signed the contract forewarned of the potential.
Audio issues at the end from 21:08 to the end of the video. Same thing happens on this episode during the live stream.
Mike needs to expose the contractors and inspectors names to let people know not to hire them, if that is allowed in Canada
That would be diffamation unless the contractors have been trialed and found guilty of said faults.
@@Ogilla I do agree with IslandPrepper9's idea. What would they do sue Mike and take him to court where he tells the judge to view it for his own eyes while Mike shows the full inspection film then what his crew did to make it right, while having all the folks join him... He could then counter sue for court cost and cost of work-time lost.... Odds are if the contractors went after Mike, they would also mention network backing his show so they would have to fight Mikes lawyers and the network lawyers... Yea it would suck up allot of time for Mike and his crew, but the film speaks for it's self. Hard to argue about someone saying you do bad work when there is film of the bad work fallowed up by codes and all that text saying what has to be done by law.
The sound cut out near the end I wish I heard what they were saying about the finished product.
You lost sound the last 3 minutes !!!!! Good work making their home safe & warm !!!!!
Amazing the things people do.
The last several minutes of the video of the audio cut out. You may want to re-upload this video....
Sian seems like a charming lady, but she was definitely taken advantage of by her contractor. Hopefully somebody will help her out and sue the contractor and the inspector because they are totally unqualified to do their jobs.
As an American, I'm so jealous of all the robertson screws Canadians have access to. I have a few of them in my place I'm building, but I also have phillips #2, I also have T20, T25, T30, and 1/4 inch hex drive structural screws.
The only place I remember seeing them is for enameled deck screws.
How far are we going back?? Wayyy back Thanks for sharing
“I wouldn’t have lifted this house up…”. BUT I’m here now so I’ll overlook that and do it anyway. Any house can be lifted. There is absolutely no reason to not lift that house. Houses like that get MOVED everyday. Holmes isnt always right.
Someone was using the back-push of the electrical receptacles instead of putting the conductors under the screw. It's approved by the NEC, but I can tell you, that connection sucks.
When you want fast, you back-push eh?
I've said it before and Ill say it again, CANADA! ya got a good one there, eh!
For someone who is a giver of her time and talents, this poor lady got totally abused.
There are audio issues near the end of the episode.
audio lost at the end of the video
wonder what mike does with all the pics and stuff he gets from various home owners he helped over the years
Did the inspectors actually inspect or just sign off on it from the plans submitted.
Why was the sound muted at the end of this video?
Really wish they'd have done more for this family, but their cost-sharing structure means even grace is apportioned by wealth.
I would have fought that shit so hard in court. They'd either be fixing the house or buying me a new one.
query...?? WHY is the boy living in the basement...she only has the one child, and I'm sure, at a minimum, that that is a two bedroom home..so why was he not upstairs with her..??
I always wanted to be in the basement as a young man. Being in the basement is like living like a adult, you have plenty of privacy and that's great when you have your buddy's over and his room was sound proof so when he's jamming his music it's not bothering mom upstairs.
She has four kids
I cannot believe the builder or the town allowed hen nuttiness to live in the house while it was lifted…
no sound at the end
I love what you do but it kinda sucks that you that you could'nt finish it for her and the kids.
how did industry canada allow this? if in usa osha won have should them down, a lot of insurance companieswould have sued them
I don’t understand why would anyone do a job that they can’t do it right the first time. I really can’t understand how an inspector missed all the problems. He missed everything. Wow! That blows my mind.
Odds are he got some kind of kick-back/payment for overlooking the failed work, and just rubber stamped/passed it... That is just my view anyways on how he passed such a bad job.
I'd keep all the information for Mike and take that company to court they did unsafe work and sue the company who referred them. It was an all around con job.
@15:04: I always found Frank's electrical criticisms and work a little questionable, but very surprised to see him use back-stabs on a receptacle. That's just shoddy.
If a government inspector passes a job that doesn’t meet code they should be required to cover the cost to fix it
Mike, do you ever go to court as a witness if the owners sue the contractor(s) or in this case the City inspector?
Where is the man of the house?!?!
“Backstabbing” electrical outlets 15:05 is not professional! Been to countless service calls over the years where they have failed and almost caught fire!
The inspector should have his license revoked. What a waste of money. tearing the structure down and rebuilding would be the only thing that made sense. No one should have lived in it while they destroyed the house. great job, Mike does a fantastic job of fixing horrible projects.
Sounds like they can sue the contractor and the inspector
This might be one of the worst disasters that Mike had to rectify. The owner should have filed a complaint with the department where that inspector worked, and provided photos and details of all the structural errors that the inspector passed. In hindsight, she should have called the television media. They would have shown the disaster on TV, and the contractor and subcontractors would have been identified.
lifted a house?
how Insane! 😡
why is the young son in the basement?
Criminals are everywhere trust nobody!!!!!¡
This is first time I saw Mike not care about the home owner. Very disappointed Mike!
she needs to sue the construction company.. and get every thing back
Unfortunately, even now, the laws regarding this stuff are abysmal. You'd think it's a no brainer, but the laws are severely lacking in consumer protection. You can try to go after a company, but they'll just file for bankruptcy, open a new business, and you're outta luck. It's infuriating.
Prettybad when you can't depend on your Building Dept.
Mike you should have done the right thing and finished that basement, That's a little lame. It wouldn't have taken much more. This woman is a needy woman. She looks like she needs a man's shoulder to help her out a bit.
FEMA paid my parents half the cost of raising their house 8 feet.
When we could finally walk into it, I could feel that I was walking downhill as I entered the kitchen.
She should have sued and took the scum to the cleaners.
They said she asked for a crappy job so what did she expect? Sarcasm
It's despicable that we collectively tolerate laws that allow contractors to get away with this garbage.
She’s teaching her children that they are not important to her. Her children will leave her when they are of legal age
how about they give her all her money back and going out of business
Personally I'm upset with the mother because she allowed her son to sleep down in that basement! Seem like she cared more about giving to others than her own. I agree with the children when you are faced with despair your family comes first.
*You need to Re-edit this film and put back the missing voices from **21:13*
what does her husband do?
not work?
I was under the impression that the lady is a single parent.
I bet $50 she voted for Trudeau. Seems very liberal.
For once I'm disappointed in you Mike. You did just as much of a half hearted job as the contractor before you. I thought I heard you say in one of your other shows you either complete a job FULLY or you don't do it at all. That didn't look like a complete job at all. Very disappointing Mike Holmes.
The house is a wreck. Mike fixed her structural issues…he wasn’t there to do a free remodel
Did you not watch the whole show. He explained the parameters of their job! Which he then completed.
