Go on an inspection with an IR camera. Watch new episode of NACHI.TV.

You can, just lease it. Nick posted contact information awhile ago about a company that will arrange this. I know of several people that are doing this.

Brian,
Thanks for the information. I found it to be very useful.

Your brother is not a good actor etc. and liike you should not be a NACHI TV program

That one sucked

Sorry

I would take that one off the menu

That one was very bad

I don’t think he even knew how to run the camera – what he found did not need the camera – and the use of gloves on the crapper give me a break - I use the public rest room at the local gas staition as needed - TB is free - and I do not put gloves on

Give me a break –

Actually, he did correct himself and say that the ceiling had a different appearance at that point than the rest of the ceiling. A hand to feel the coolness and a moisture meter to verify the moisture and…bingo…that’s all you need.

Thank you for the tip, Mr. Super Inspector! :mrgreen:

I am not in the business of impressing my client. My duty is to inform him so that he can make an educated decision.

I, like thousands of other inspectors have done over the last five decades, present my findings in a written report. If he doesn’t want to believe what he paid for, that’s his business.

My report is not an argument. It is an observation.

So, to paraphase:

1. I don’t care what my clients care about me.
2. As a result of #1, I don’ty care about referrals from past clients or keeping my past clients happy.
3. I don’t care about doing superior inspections, using the latest tools and techniques, I just want my check and to never hear from them again.
4. I have been doing this for “the last five decades” and, therefore, know more than anyone else and this will never change and I am the best and anyone who says different is a person who I should spend my time stalking and deriding. (Kinda sounds like an ASHI guy, don’t it :mrgreen: ).

Codes (and old time inspectors) change nothing.

Hope this helps;

For such an ignorant a$$hole, you certainly do little to try conceal it.

Your “paraphrasing”, as usual, is totally wrong and a fictional account from your own feeble mind. You do not speak for me or represent anything I stated. Stop stalking my posts, Willy.

So, change your ways.

Rather than just calling names and trying to dismiss people, answer my arguement.

Where was I wrong in my assesment of your post?

Here is your original post:

"I am not in the business of impressing my client. My duty is to inform him so that he can make an educated decision.

Tell me, in detail, where I was in error.

Richard, none of the on-site inspectors on NACHI.TV are actors, that’s the idea, a real inspection. Paige was one of my friends outside of NACHI.TV and not an actress at all before I talked her into going in front of a camera. She had never been in front of a camera prior to her first episode on www.nachi.tv Same for Kenton, just the (only one) inspector in my little town of Nederland up in the mountains.

Anyway, I don’t think there is anyone who has done more inspections with an IR camera than Ben. Many thousands at Peach Inspections. He used his on every inspection, 2-3 inspections a day for years.

You and Jim are correct in that there was probably nothing found with the camera on that inspection that couldn’t be found without it except for maybe the toilet wax seal leak under the carpeting.

Permanently installed carpeting around a toilet, even one that isn’t leaking, is a health hazard. In the town I used to live in as a home inspector, it was a code violation of that town, prohibited, and so we used to call it out as something that needed to be corrected. Gloves? I’m not sure what good they would do in finding moisture, but I did have an inspector who worked for me who put on gloves before inspecting a bathroom to lift the toilet seat and/or lift the carpeting around a toilet. Ben’s idea of leaning your knee against the toilet bowl to see if it is loose is probably a good idea…especially if inspecting that gas station mens room! :mrgreen:
