I think we have all had comic relief.

You: Making fun of plumbers in general and the stigma that goes with the trade.

Us: Making fun of all the idiotic statements that a small cross section of specific home observers make....

I have one good plumber in my area! He's actually the guy I brought in to do this video...along with the real estate agent in the background. There was a small little pipe sticking out of the ground, right on the property line.

My brother owns a plumbing company and appreciates the business that I and other home inspectors send to him. Home inspectors create a lot of work for all the trades. If anything they should market to us.

Perhaps you should have not come here throwing them in the first place buddy.

I see you are a moderator on that other forum yet you seems to just do as you please.

Notice you are not banned here like you did to our members.

You claim Inspectors are not qualified to inspect plumbing because we do not know code when on your very own forum you need to ask about Range Hood installation and if they are required to have a sprinkler system or not.

Talk about lack of knowledge in your own field...lol

Go back where you came from.
You are just some Union pushing rookie and only been certified for what...2 years.
Bet you would not know pex if you got slapped on the head with it thanks to dumb Illinois rules enforced by under the table payoff's.
