Questions and Answers

My arc fault breaker in my DeKalb home keeps tripping. Can an electrical inspection help?

Absolutely. Nuisance trips are a common issue here, often caused by overloaded circuits, faulty appliances, or wiring problems specific to older homes. John's electrical inspection will systematically test the circuit, identify the exact cause—like a loose connection in a ceiling fan or a compromised wire—and provide a clear, expert recommendation to fix it safely and permanently.

What does a plumbing inspection cover for a DeKalb homeowner?

John's plumbing inspection is a proactive check of your entire system. He'll examine water pressure, look for leaks or corrosion at fixtures and pipes, inspect your water heater, and check drains for proper flow. For DeKalb homes, this is crucial to catch small issues—like a slowly leaking pipe behind a wall—before they lead to water damage or mold, saving you significant repair costs down the line.

I'm having issues with a ceiling fan. Is this part of an electrical inspection?

Yes, definitely. Faulty ceiling fan wiring is a frequent find during our local inspections. John will check the installation, the switch controls, and the wiring in the ceiling box for proper connections and grounding. This not only solves immediate problems like the fan not working or flickering lights but also ensures it's wired safely to prevent overheating or electrical fire risks common with DIY installations.
