‼️⚠️ Mold HIDING in 2006 home.

ALSO "Watch & Learn" ™👀
🌞 Hot Summer HEATWAVE 🥵 166 degree roof 🔥 WILL BURN YOUR HAND!
• 🌞 Hot Summer HEATWAVE ...
In 35 years in the construction trades I have never seen a code compliance inspector get on a roof to validate proper installation of a roof. "Who is watching the roofer"!! The most common problems I find on new construction homes are at the roof areas because its an area no one can see from the ground.

Additional Information:
What is Mold?
Molds are microscopic #fungi that are found almost everywhere, #inside and outdoors, year round. Sensitivity to mold varies from person to person. One person may react severely to levels that would cause no symptoms in another. Most susceptible to #mold are infants & children, elderly, immune compromised people and people with #respiratorydisease problems such as #allergies and #asthma.
Exposure to mold & mold #spores can cause a range of allergic reactions such as eye irritation, runny nose, sore throat, sneezing, nasal and sinus congestion, coughing, sneezing, difficulty breaking, rhinitis #asthmatic episodes, #headaches & fatigue.
Molds act as nature’s decomposers breaking down organic matter, and can be many colors - white, orange, green, or black. Molds release spores into the air, which then enter our homes through windows, doors, cracks, and vents. Old spores can also be carried in on clothing pets and foot traffic. 1 type of black mold is called Stachybotrys #blackmold . It is rare, white or greenish-black to black mold that grows on materials with high cellulose content that has been wet for several days. Cellulose rich materials include drywall, wood, paper, and drop ceiling tiles.
There a scenario that happens on many residential homes called " Stack Effect ". "Stack Effect" is when the attic of the structure gets to over 120 degrees during a hot summer and cannot vent due to inadequate #roof #ventilation . It draws up the #moisture from the #basement or a #crawlspace . The "Effect" pulls all the moisture from the areas below up into the structural areas causing damage & mold.
The best way to control mold is to control the moisture. Stopping the source of the water or humidity is the most important step in cleanup and prevention.
Things you can do to prevent mold:
-Not all moisture problems are the result of leaks, condensation or floods. Humidity levels above 60 percent can promote mold growth. In humid months, try using an air conditioner or dehumidifiers to keep the humidity in your home below 50 %
-Exhaust showers, baths, and cooking areas to allow steam to escape outdoor. Also, be sure your clothes dryer is vented outdoors and avoid regular drying of your clothing on indoor drying lines or racks.
-Promptly attend to #leaking pipes, #flooded basements, roof leaks, ice dams, and other sources of #water infiltration
-Humidifiers increase the moisture in your homes. If you use a humidifier, ensure that it is set properly to prevent excessive humidity.
-Insulate pipes and install chimney liners to prevent #condensation n
-Put a plastic cover over dirt in crawlspaces to prevent moisture coming up from the ground
-Use area rugs on concrete floors that can be taken up and washed often. A #vapor barrier may be necessary if carpet is installed over concrete.

good job!! Dig inspectors like you

[@inspectflix]

Thank you Very much. It takes years to learn how a house is built with its types of materials. Primarily because there are so many types, from log cabins to solid concrete and stick built structures dating back to the 1820s. Most private home inspectors are not from the trades prior to inspecting and have taken minimal classes to receive a certificate.
The most important thing to know about a home inspector is their credentials, as many states DO NOT have licensing or any requirements! Inspectors that are members of any national home inspectors associations are NOT required to get on the roof or check for gas leaks. They are Very minimal standards and limited but maybe exceeded.
My state "Michigan" has none.
Thanks for watching the video and feel free to ask any questions. I like to help.👍

@@inspectflix am also in Michigan, yes sir am well aware HI's = no licensing etc. Have been doing basement waterproofing 45 yrs and so i've witnessed many HI's screw ups, videos i posted yesterday - house in Warren MI, H inspector missed several important things, never said or wrote a word about 'em, buyer got screwed = see THIS a lot here in MI so when i saw your video and the good job you did i had to tell you lol, yep good job man

[@MichaelHenryGomes1]

That’s an expensive repair. All because of a 1 dollar piece of metal missing. 😮

Water! Can't live with it...

How does one go about learning all this?! I've done construction myself, and am currently a property adjuster (with catastrophic weather claims) so I've gotten to see what is old damage and what is new. I'd like to get out of insurance though; it's sort of awful. I'd love to actually be able to HELP people and help them avoid horrible coverage ups like this. Suggestions for gaining knowledge, specifically with trades? My framing knowledge is good, but not so much electric, HVAC, plumbing.
And can you make a good living doing this? Do you work for yourself or with a company?
Thanks for all your videos!! They're incredibly helpful.

Thank you for watching the video, Sorry for the delay in my response. The real estate home inspection industry is defiantly very interesting as it applies to many types of trades. Many inspectors that get in the business typically do have structural framing construction back ground and do seek for knowledge in the other areas (electric, plumbing and HVAC).
I can help direct you with this and it may be easier and more private if you contact me with your email. The best way to correspond would be to contact my office manager Kim at [e-mail].
The 1st question is what State do you live in? Because many states have licensing, laws and requirements and some have none.
Most home inspectors are independent (self employed) and yes you can make a good living from it depending on the location and population.
I use to train home inspections over 15 years ago and have recently been thinking about getting back into it by introducing my courses on line in conjunction with my CZcams channel.
I look forward to hearing from you and thanks again for the question.
