- čas přidán 5. 09. 2024
- In this week's video we go through an old 1920s home. We go through the deficiencies we found throughout the home and we even inspect a crawl space. Chris goes through some tips for inspecting a crawl space, kick-out flashing, drainage, and more. Let's go check it out!
I create videos to help better inform home Inspectors, buyers, sellers, and realtors on how to find everyday problems with their houses/properties. I will also have guest speakers that work closely with the real estate trade.

Great educational video over all, specially on my area of expertise, the roof. I see you know your roofing stuff .At One Legacy Roofing I love to say we know it all, but we don't. The ladder against the chimney is good safe spot when available. This also help protect gutters if there is any on a home, We also like to find the leas risk areas when getting on a roof. We love watching your videos as we are a General contractor. We like to inform or share some areas or attention to home owners not pertaining to roof. And one way of keeping up with education is by watching you guys the Pros. Thank you Chris and A Action home inspection.
Crawlspace insulation not required in Tx?
In south Texas no not required. Recommended but not by code
Thank you Sir. I am learning a lot from you. New inspector.
Good video.
I'm a Texas inspector as well and I like watching your videos for tips and tricks. Keep it up.
In process of buying a home and inspector pointed out an issue with the sewer line on the driveway. Have no idea how much that would cost, any clues? Also a minor crack on the basement. This is 1980's home. They had a flood a long time ago, but remedied with roof replacement.
Sewer lines can get very expensive, I would go off the inspectors recommendation and get a quote from a plumber.
Minor crack will be in most basements. I do have very little knowledge on basements because I am from south Texas.
How and where do you guys report on the components that aren’t required but as extra like the fence, do you add it in optional or other ( in the rei 7.5)
Optional systems
@@AActionHomeInspectionHouston I thought so , thank you guys and gals for all of these videos!
So kick out flashing is recommended but not required? Whaaa
The code actually has changed sense this video. I believe it is in the code book now.
@@AActionHomeInspectionHouston ok , I was about to say omg and I’ve been calling the kick outs ( fewf ) and I apologize ,I seldom look at the age of your videos so that’s my bad , I’m sorry
@@melissahaynes4708 No need to apologize, Thanks for watching!
No gutters in Houston with all that rain?!
Do you have a pattern in the crawl space as in the outside perimeter then in or do you just go back and forth along the joists?
Hi Chris, thank you for the videos. How long is your average home inspection ??
Our average inspection time is 3 and half hours
Can you explain the AC unit and breaker issue in a little more depth. You said you don't want an AFCI on a ac unit?
From what I have seen, the HVAC units trip the AFCI breakers often. I honestly dont know why this happens. Maybe an electrician can weigh in on the comment. The main problem is they had a breaker too small for the condenser. This will cause the unit to trip the breaker often.
@@AActionHomeInspectionHouston Is this something you see often? I would love a top 5 most common or quick tips of each home system. Thanks again!
Why don’t they have any gutters?
Most homes do not have gutter in Texas. Builders consider them an upgrade because they are not required.
Good catch on the kick out missing. Recommending a gutter on that side is a great idea. Surprised you didn’t find any WDO with all that food on the ground!
I agree, I normally find them under that trash wood.
Another excellent inspection. Thanks for the great detail.
Thank you sir
