Questions and Answers

What does a standard electrical inspection cover for my Philadelphia home?

Our electrical inspection is a thorough safety evaluation tailored to local homes. We check for common issues like outdated wiring, overloaded circuits, and improper DIY repairs—a frequent concern in the area. The inspection assesses your electrical panel, outlets, grounding, and lighting systems to identify potential hazards or code violations, providing a clear report and recommendations for necessary upgrades or repairs to ensure your home's safety.

Why is a plumbing inspection important before selling my house?

In Philadelphia's older housing stock, plumbing issues can be a significant hurdle during a sale. Our pre-sale plumbing inspection identifies leaks, corrosion, drainage problems, and ensures fixtures like kitchen built-in appliances are properly connected and functional. This proactive check helps uncover hidden issues that could delay a closing, allowing you to address repairs upfront and provide potential buyers with confidence in the home's condition.

I've had problems with my generator transfer switch after a DIY installation. Can you help?

Absolutely. Improper generator transfer switch installations are a common and dangerous issue we see in Philadelphia. These setups can backfeed power into utility lines, posing a serious risk to linemen and neighbors. We specialize in inspecting and correcting these installations, ensuring your transfer switch is properly wired, meets local code, and operates safely to power your home during an outage without creating a hazard.
