Absolutely. A core part of our inspection service is identifying unsafe modifications made by previous homeowners or unqualified individuals. We look for issues like incorrect wire connections, missing junction boxes, overloaded circuits from added appliances, and improper grounding—common problems we see in Pittsford that create significant safety risks. We document everything and provide a clear, prioritized plan for correction.

Proper grounding is critical for safety, especially in areas with variable soil conditions. Our inspection rigorously tests your home's grounding electrode system, checks all outlets for correct wiring and ground fault protection, and verifies that major appliances and your electrical panel are properly bonded and grounded. We often find older systems or DIY fixes that lack this vital protection, leaving you vulnerable to shocks or equipment damage during electrical surges common in our region.
