Mike Holmes' Shocking Discovery Inside Dave's Home | Holmes on Homes 704

When Mike arrives at the home of Val and Dave, he thought it was an exterior renovation repair only- until he went inside.

Originally, the scope of the project involved repairing a home that suffered from defective brick- the face of the brick was falling off, causing it to quickly erode. This weakened masonry was causing the chimney to lean dangerously and the bottom rows of brick were so compromised that replacement was needed to prevent the brick walls from collapsing.

When Mike went inside the home, he discovered that the homeowners were literally drowning in their own possessions. There were mounds of stuff piled to the ceiling in almost every room in the house. There was so much junk crammed in the basement that it wasn’t even possible for Mike and the team to do a basic electrical and HVAC inspection. Mike decides that a clean-up intervention is needed, to save the homeowners from themselves.

the homeowners are right, it shouldn't need mike holmes to come and fix and issue after 6 years and thousands of $

[marcelwildeboer]

I continue to find it unbelievable that the company that installed this does not even know what they are doing
and then leaves the people out in the cold without providing a solution.
And that an external company actually found the solution quite quickly after so many years of misery.
I may not always agree with Holmes but by involving the right people he provided the solution for these people
who had been working on this for years and it is unbelievable that you have a guarantee
but it actually does not matter, they do not fix it if there are problems.

Thank you, Mike.. These owners were grateful that you got Damon, your crews, the professional teams such as plumbers, electricians, painters, contractors, etc. to take their jobs seriously. It was a good way to send out the videos to everyone. High fives to Mike and everyone who worked together. “Do it the right way”.

The way that ductwork was run reminds me of the card game "Waterworks!"
You CAN have your cake and eat it too: just bake 2 cakes! LOL🤣🤣🤣

Sounds like the builder didn't take account of the changes to the volume of space in the house after the plan alterations and order a redesign of the HVAC.

I'm wondering of these people wanted champagne on a beer budget from the original builder, which lead to this problem.
The reason I say that is her inability to appreciate that the ducts need to go somewhere and there is a minimum of space needed for the outcome they want.

I wish I could get Mike Holmes to build me my home of dreams.

I put a high velocity hydroair system in my old house. They're pretty good, if installed correctly. The one I put in was an UNICO system. I heated it with the existing boiler, because I also had an indirect water heater and another basement room with baseboard. It has A/C in it also. If the guys in the field actually knew the equipment they were installing, there would be less complaints. Love Mike and wish we had contractors and inspectors like him in the states.

Just want to give the plumber a shout out and say nice plumbing work

The original name for Duct tape is "Duck Tape" the whole point was it's water resistance and tensile strength. Hence Duck in the name. Over time the name changed to duct tape and people thought it was for use in heating ducts

[alberthartl]

I have been a general contractor for 33 years. High velocity HVAC systems are really intended for older homes where the framing does not allow for larger duct. In your rebuild, using rectangular duct would have allowed you to have higher ceilings. I have installed combi tankless water heaters and never had the need for a holding tank. Your condensing unit looked to be within 5 feet of the property line. In my jurisdiction that would not be allowed. Perhaps a side discharge unit would have been more appropriate.

Warranty programs are largely supported by builders' fees to them, so while they have a captive group of contributors, they also have little incentive to do anything for the homeowner, and enough incentive to be kind to their contributors. The programs are smoke-and-mirrors, claiming to be there to support homeowners, but you would practically need to be very tenacious with them, and possess a relevant engineering degree to be able to hold their feet to the fire in order to get any meaningful response from them. People should take no solace in warranty - if builders tell you not to worry, there's a warranty, that's still no reason to mess it up in the first place.

Love the 1 5/8 studs. Love them for making soffit indoors. Also Chicago bar and zippy and laser level. Built thousands of them and fast and easy. I could build them out of wood but much slower and heavier

[ericschwarz]

Warranty is not warth the price of the paper 📝 it is rented on. The biggest problem is the price of the job and how much it costs you to get it fixed the right way

If one has the gift to spot an incompetent clown it can save a lot of trouble.

[sharondashner]

Mike, have you ever thought of doing a behind the scenes shows. I wander what you do. When u leave Dameon in charge. And you return to see how he doing then you leave. Do u go to court for ur clients that get screwed over.
I just flabbergasted on what "the so called professional"

[MacLimitRange]

I know this series is old, but it's amazing how ancient was the technology that American and Canadian, use. In Europe, we have heat water throw pipes, that then go throw Radiator, and they naturally convect cold air to hot air. Just regulating the temperature of the water and the amount of times the water circulate, you can change the temperature. We have valves on each radiator, and you can change each room temperature by changing the aperture of the valve. We can do it digitally now, you can setup script and heat room where you are and heat a bit less room that you don't use often. If you open a window to change air, the radiator can sense it and stop heat in that specific room.

Second! I'm number two!
Wait... that does not sound right.

[MikeC]

I work in the commercial buildings industry we’re if you do not have the correct skills and can prove it, you cannot get a job and have always thought that the housing industry work force are not time served and as skilled craftsmen.

[GriggsC]

Just one thing that bothers me, Why? oh why is there a celling fan in a stairwell like that?
