Mike Rescues Home from Faulty Construction and Code Violations | Holmes on Homes 610

I do agree with Mike Holmes saying do it Right the First Time!

Interesting now how spray foam insulation is discouraged and banks refuse to give mortgages.

RIP Robert Graves

Should have ran pex. No joints to fail and more reliable with cold exposure.

If you’re not going to pull the wire out why don’t you cut back so short I can’t be used

Seen this when are you going to put some new ones up

What a beautiful client you had.

why not Pax ??

When the bedrooms are on the second floor the laundry staff appreciates the laundry on the second floor.

Craig Lowe was such an amazing professional who was so knowledgeable about his art.

He is missed..................

We have an area in a secondary bedroom where the water comes into the house on an uninsulated outside wall and moves from there into the rest of the house. During bad winters a lamp pointed at the base saves us. The rooms on the front of the house are cold North East facing. I hear the people that built our neighborhood houses put the insulation and plastic vapor barrier in for the inspections and when the inspector left they pulled it out for the next house inspection next door. Someone used white medical tape as drywall tape in our garage (shaking my head at that one).

Does kate Campbell still work for Mike's company?

Love how he hates laundry on second floor. Obviously he's not the one hauling baskets of laundry up and down stairs and there is nothing more depressing than doing laundry in an unfinished utility room in the basement.

The builder shouldn't have run the pipes outside. There is a make-do fix when spending thousands for plumbing isn't an option. Heating tape strips are used on farms. My grandmother's pipes were exposed in the crawlspace. They froze. I spent a day wrapping them in heating tape. Plugged them into a timer that turned them on in the evening and off the next morning. They are unplugged in the summer. $200 fix for parts and my grandmothers pipes never froze again. Our family sold the house 15 years later. We left instructions for the new owner. (This was a rural home and no code requirements) Heating tape protects pipes in barns, water tubs for cattle, in the garage. It works great on exposed pipes.

She was lovely. Mike on point.
