A Home Inspector Wasn’t Impressed By What He Found In A New $400,000 House. – ‘It’s gonna rust, swell, and start cracking.’
by Matthew Gilligan
Videos like these are pretty popular these days…and they make a lot of folks never want to buy a new house…
A house inspector named Randle posted a video on TikTok and showed viewers all the problems he found in a new, $400,000 home.
Randle said, “This builder’s trying to kill me. They planted a black widow right where I would stick my finger. Unbelievable.”
He showed viewers different problems with the house, including a wonky door handle and a puddle of water next to an air conditioning unit.
Randle said, “Well, the drainage could be better. But this is pretty typical when you smash these houses right next to each other. Water doesn’t really have anywhere to go.”
He showed viewers some stone above the front door and said, “This lintel should be sealed better. It’s gonna rust, swell, and start cracking the mortar joints.”
Randle also took issue with door hinges, the painting job done to the house, and cracks in walls.
The video caption reads, “Q U A L I T Y.”
Check out the video.
