Question Answers
What does a full electrical inspection cover for my Pittsburgh home?
Our electrical inspection is a thorough evaluation of your home's wiring, panels, outlets, and safety systems. We check for compliance with current National Electrical Code and local Pittsburgh requirements, identify any potential fire hazards like overloaded circuits, and assess the condition of older wiring. This is especially important for older homes in the area or before a major renovation, ensuring your system is safe and capable of handling modern electrical demands.
Why should I get a plumbing inspection, and what do you look for?
A professional plumbing inspection can uncover hidden issues like slow leaks, pipe corrosion, or improper venting that lead to water damage or poor performance. We examine your water heater, drains, supply lines, and fixtures. Given Pittsburgh's range of home ages, we pay close attention to the condition of pipes and look for signs of past DIY repairs that may not meet code. This proactive check can prevent costly emergencies and improve your home's efficiency.
How can you help after a Pittsburgh storm causes a power surge that damaged my appliances?
Storm-related power surges are a common local issue. We start by diagnosing the extent of the damage at your electrical panel and throughout affected circuits. Our service includes repairing any compromised wiring or breakers and, crucially, installing or upgrading whole-house surge protection devices. This helps safeguard your home's electrical system and valuable appliances from future surges, a key step given the frequency of such events in our area.
