Holmes On Homes Season 6 Episode 6 Pasadena 911 -- Part 1

Holmes On Homes Season 6 Episode 6 is named Pasadena 911 - Part 1, where Mike Holmes and his team come to the rescue of a family in Pasadena, California, whose construction project has gone awry. The episode is about homeowners who expected a beautiful and functional new bathroom but instead ended up with a construction disaster that rendered their property unsafe.

The episode opens with the homeowners discussing their predicament with Mike Holmes and his team. The team is quick to assess the situation and starts to investigate the root of the problem. The homeowners explain that they had hired a contractor who was recommended by a neighbor. They had signed a contract with the contractor and were under the impression that everything would proceed smoothly. However, the contractor didn't seem to have a handle on the project from the beginning, constantly altering plans and even pulling a disappearing act midway through construction. According to the homeowners, they had already paid the contractor quite a significant amount of money to cover the project and were now left with an unfinished mess of a project and structural issues that could compromise their safety.

Mike Holmes is visibly upset by the situation, he explains that this happens far more often than one would expect. According to him, hiring someone to make significant changes to one's property is no different than being a general contractor. Homes advises the homeowners to be more proactive in vetting any contractor by asking for their license and insurance number. He also advises the owners to get a Contract suite if they want to sign any vital paperwork. According to Mike, these steps will ensure that any homeowner’s project goes smoothly with as fewer problems as possible.

Once they receive the homeowner's approval, the Holmes team begins their investigation, starting with the bathroom. They quickly discover that the bathroom's framing was done incorrectly, leading to significant safety issues that could cause the ceiling collapse at any moment. They discover that it’s only the beginning and there’s more work that needs to be done. Mike Holmes decides to get a permit before starting work to ensure nothing goes wrong in the permits’ application.

Holmes and his team continue to investigate the project, discovering more issues in the plumber and electrical work. The plumbing work seems to have been done incorrectly, which could lead to dangerous leaks. The electrical work is done haphazardly, with switches and outlets being installed the wrong way around. It seems that the previous contractor wasn't quite as experienced or skilled as the homeowners had been led to believe.

Mike and his team go the extra mile in ensuring that the homeowners' property is safe and functional in the long run. Rather than just fixing the work that the contractor had botched, they decide to go the extra mile and take the project back to the studs, dismantling it to the foundation and starting again. They want to ensure that there are no hidden problems that could lead to more issues in the future. This work ensures that the homeowners will not face the tragedy of a pipe that burst in the future and upgrading pipes and installing new materials will ensure everything is up to date and modern.

Overall, Holmes On Homes Season 6 Episode 6 is an engaging and educational episode that highlights just how easily things can go wrong during a construction project and how important it is to vet a contractor beforehand. The episode also shows how Mike and his team go out of their way to ensure that the homeowners have what they're paying for, fixing all the issues and delivering exceptional results.
