Electrical inspections

Inspection services include:

• Pre-sale inspections, before a house goes on the market
• Pre-purchase inspections, walked with the buyer if they want to be there
• Home inspector report items, gone through line by line
• Code correction work after a failed inspection
• Panel assessment, whether the service is big enough for the house as it is used now
• Knob and tube and cloth wiring, found and mapped in older homes
• Aluminum branch wiring in houses from the 1960s and 70s
• Open grounds, reverse polarity and dead receptacles, tested outlet by outlet
• GFCI coverage in kitchens, baths, garages, basements and outdoors
• AFCI coverage against current requirements
• Bonding and grounding, including ground rods, water pipe and gas bond
• Smoke and carbon monoxide detectors against Delaware's hardwired and interconnected requirement
• Junction boxes, splices and anything buried behind drywall that should not be
• Overloaded circuits and the extension cords standing in for outlets
• Service entrance, meter and disconnect condition
• Permit history questions, and coordination with New Castle County or Chester County on the corrections
• A written list of what we found, what has to be fixed and what can wait
• A price next to each correction, so the number is usable in a negotiation
• Documentation in writing when an insurer is asking about the panel or the wiring
