Performing a Home Inspection with CPI® Austin Hilbun

Im not even sure I should buy this house now that I know the sprinkle heads are not adjusted, I think the price needs to come down 10k!!

Y'all just really created a bullshit job instead of hiring a proper engineer to give you a cost of repair and factor that into the price, didnt yall?

Dude is out of breath just walking around the house 😅😅

Yall really cant build houses, god damn.

Informative video, I would recommend using every day words next time and not trying to make everything sound so fancy and technical. Sometimes less is more.

The emmittance valve was too low. It needs to be as high as the high water level of the basin.

Thank you Austin!

I wouldn't have ran the dishwasher with dishes in it unless I brought along some pods, just me. Otherwise, had me interested every step of the way - very informative video. Thanks for posting.

Question since this was done in Tyler Texas. I noticed that you commented on the driveway which is not something we normally do in Texas. Did you comment on it because it was for internachi or are you just going above and beyond the SOP‘s? I’m just starting out but it seems to me that even though we don’t comment on on flat work in Texas if there is a trip hazard you would still want to make a comment on that.

Many things this inspector tested are not really required by SOP. And in those cases is better idea not to inspect them since they increases the risk of liability. And it is unnecessary since they are not in the scope of the home inspection. Is good idea though to inform the client why they were not inspected. Like refrigerators for instance. Those are consider personal property not part of the house.

What inspection software do you use?

Not sure I agree with his comments about the foundation. Recommending a structural engineer for the settlement he saw on the front porch...that would get me blacklisted in my area. The porch is just poured on the ground and typically (in my area, anyway) floats independent of the foundation. Of course there's going to be a crack where the porch meets the wall.

Nice video but for the first time I have seen someone more dangerous than Gordon Ramsey. Jokes aside, This was a great inspection

Compares to those interior cosmetic issue，Gas leaks checking is much more important…

Rei-76 requires to inspect gas lines. Need to use gas detector to check if there is gas leak at all gas lines even gas meter fittings

Some of deficiencies that you did not mention：1，Recommend to install gutters around the home；2，Tree roots in the front is too close to foundation；3，AC disconnect needs to be caulked around；4，kick-out flashing missing in some area

Awesome video! Learned new things here

Good video Austin. I’m looking into becoming a home inspector, I’m currently living in Minnesota and am moving to Texas at the end of the month. This was helpful. I noticed some differences between the homes around here compared to Texas. Are you available for training. I like to get trained in some in the field inspections before I go out in my own

Professional, well-spoken, knowledgeable, and efficient. Excellent inspection Mr. Hilbun, thank you for your time!!!
