Hello everyone, My name is George and I am enjoying these courses and trying to find a job as I go through these is proving to be difficult.
Hi @gberry4. Thank you for taking the course. And in relation to finding a job, are you referring to getting new clients for your home inspection business?
If yes, then I recommend checking out a few of the many resources that InterNACHI provides including my favorite recent video related to marketing and getting new inspection business. Check it out at https://www.nachi.org/webinars/2021/business-marketing-webinar-for-internachi-members.

Just taking the Structural Issues course. Noticed a couple things in the curricula I wanted to ask about. Forgot the first one, but regarding conditioned crawlspaces and what they need to meet code – I will assume the plastic layer required on the soil is 6 mil, not 6 mm. Correct?
Hi, @kbaumer. You may be interested in this video course about crawlspaces: Advanced Inspection of Crawlspaces Course - InterNACHI®.
And the code in relation to barriers in crawlspaces is at 2018 IRC R406.3.2 https://codes.iccsafe.org/content/IRCComm2018/chapter-4:-foundations#IRCComm2018_Pt03_Ch04_SecR406.3.
And we have an article about crawlspaces and barriers at How to Inspect and Correct a Vented Crawlspace - InterNACHI®. Scroll down to the “Crawlspace Floor, Poly Vapor Barrier” section of the article.
Hope that helps.
hi just reading this form for the first time
If there’s anything you need, @jguy3, just let us know.
Good people working every day to help your inspection business succeed: - InterNACHI®.
this is a great course.
Glad to hear it, @jguy3.
I am very pleased with the website and am very happy to be apart of this journey to become a Home Inspector. My partner and I have working on Rehabilitating a house for over 2 years and we are 2 weeks shy of being completed. I used to be a Police Officer for 10 years and happen to have a knack for finding flaws. So upon reading what a Home Inspector is and combining everything I learned from renovating the house decided to become a Home Inspector and utilize this knowledge and maybe start a private business. I will utilize all the InterNACHI has to offer and thank you for all the services and guidance.
That’s great to hear, @jdegraff. If there’s anything you need, the Education Team is at education@internachi.org. And I am available too, any time, for anything, including help with your business and marketing, at ben@internachi.org.
