I have a house flip today let me go over
some common issues that I normally find
[3]
let's go check it out. One of the most
common problems that we find on these
[6]
older properties is they have they have
Federal Pacific panel boxes
[11]
Federal Pacific panel boxes are an older
type electrical panel and that the
[16]
company went out of business because
it's a defective products our product
[20]
has been known to cause fires and there
are several issues that's wrong with
[24]
inside this panel box and I'm going to
show you what it looks like inside so
[27]
what are the most common issues with
this panel box is actually the cover as
[31]
you remove it you run into some
satellite dishes but actually it's the
[36]
removal of the cover and the it catches
the breakers and it trips them off one
[43]
of the most basic issues is if there's a
lot of corrosion on the panel box so you
[47]
know that you have some some water
intrusions also you have several this
[53]
breaker this mean these is actually
triple tap also the other main feed is
[57]
oh that's triple tap too as well you
also have improperly covered wires and
[63]
so you you don't have the rock proper
colored wires the box isn't bonded and
[68]
there is no ground to the box to it as
well there are several other issues but
[73]
the main thing is as we know they're
enough that we need to call an
[76]
electrician and let them know that this
panel box is defective let's go check
[79]
out the next issue another common issue
that we run into is the actual service
[84]
entrance mast is too low service
entrance masts should be three feet high
[89]
off the roof structure and actually
can't be higher off the back yard so it
[94]
just keeps people from pending anything
grabbing onto it for electrical shock so
[99]
if you can see right here I'm only five
foot six and I think an easily grab onto
[104]
this so we know that the service mask
needs to be raised for safety so this
[108]
roof is brand new
pretty sure this flipper didn't think
[111]
there's going to be anything wrong with
this one but actually as I walked up I
[116]
noticed that there were civil shiny
flats fasteners that were a shingles
[119]
been hit their starters horse correctly
also the LED jacks are not installed
[124]
properly how these ledge hacks should be
installed is they should be folded down
[128]
into the stack to help prevent water
penetration the next issue is the
[133]
gutters they didn't repair the gutters
at all you can see that they're holding
[136]
water right now and they're not properly
sloped so whenever it rains it's
[141]
actually going to roll back into the
structure and cause some wood rot there
[144]
and then the final one is the patio
right here the patio is holding water
[149]
right now - hasn't caused any damage yet
but with standing water on a metal roof
[155]
like this it will cause some rust let's
go check out another one another common
[160]
issue that we find is whenever there's a
brand new roof roofers don't normally
[163]
work with HVAC equipment or the water
heaters so whenever they remove these
[167]
stacks they never install them properly
so this one it's loose in the Attic it's
[173]
separated in the Attic and right now the
furnace is emitting carbon monoxide into
[176]
the attic space
[204]
okay so one of the next issues that we
found when it came from whether they
[209]
installed the roof is actually these
bowed and bent purlins in the attic
[212]
space some of the newer inspectors out
there or some inspectors in general get
[216]
bowed or bent purlins they were
automatically think it relates to
[220]
foundation issues this actually comes
from the roofers bringing in 50-pound
[225]
bundles to a hundred pound bundles and
throwing it on the roof and it actually
[228]
damages the purlins these purlins are
actually not installed properly either
[233]
but because of the age they're not going
to be but purlins are supposed to be
[238]
installed at a forty-five degree angle
or within a 90 every four feet and be
[244]
installed onto a load-bearing wall so
these purlins right here they're damaged
[248]
we're going to ask and recommend for
some repairs we also have some damaged
[252]
rafters and I'll follow up with some
images of that too as well
[268]
so one of the last issues that I come
across most of the time upon over
[272]
properties is galvanized warm lines they
rust from the inside out to our hard
[277]
waters what it causes is water spots or
pinholes in the system of the water
[283]
system and it causes water stains also
causes significant low water pressure
[288]
inside the structure this can cause a
lot of livability issues how you find
[293]
them are underneath sinks or behind
toilets if you have some sort of magnet
[297]
you can tag it you know stick right to
it if you find these I automatically
[303]
start budgeting for replacement or know
that you're going to have to negotiate
[306]
this issue all right so that's Chris
what they actually you how many home
[310]
inspection questions please give me a
call and please like and share the
[313]
videos cover as you're removing you run
into some issues but actually it's the
[320]
rule recover and it catches the breakers
and it tricks them off
