Our comprehensive inspection for older homes focuses on the specific issues common in our area. We thoroughly check the condition of aging wiring for brittleness or damage, test all outlets and switches for proper grounding, and assess your electrical panel for signs of overheating, corrosion, or insufficient capacity for today's appliances. The goal is to give you a complete safety snapshot and a prioritized plan for any necessary updates.

An overheating panel, often felt as warmth on the door, is a serious safety concern common in older Waynesville homes. It's typically caused by circuits being overloaded beyond the panel's original capacity, loose connections, or failing breakers. This creates a significant fire risk. Our inspection can pinpoint the exact cause—whether it's due to added appliances or an aging panel itself—and we provide solutions like panel repair or a safe, code-compliant upgrade to ensure your home's safety.

Aging wiring deteriorates over time, often hidden behind walls. Our expert inspection uses testing and visual checks to identify warning signs like flickering lights, frequently tripped breakers, or outlets that don't work—common indicators of faulty old wiring. By proactively finding these issues, we can recommend targeted repairs or rewiring before the wiring fails completely or becomes a shock or fire hazard, giving you peace of mind and protecting your home's value.
