Question Answers
What does a plumbing or electrical inspection from MrDid's involve for my Chicago home?
Our inspections are thorough, safety-focused evaluations. For plumbing, we check for leaks, corrosion, water pressure issues, and proper venting, which is common in older Chicago buildings. For electrical, we examine wiring integrity, panel capacity, grounding, and look for specific local hazards like aluminum wiring or meter corrosion. We provide a clear, detailed report with prioritized recommendations, helping you plan repairs or updates with confidence, whether you're in a Gold Coast condo or a Hyde Park bungalow.
I've heard about aluminum wiring and meter corrosion issues in Chicago homes. Can you help?
Absolutely. These are common concerns in many Chicago-area houses and older apartments. Aluminum wiring, used in some homes from the 1960s-70s, can pose a fire risk if not properly maintained. Corrosion on electrical meters and connections is also a frequent issue due to our climate. During an electrical inspection, we specifically check for these hazards. If we find them, we can provide solutions, which may include installing proper connectors (Al/Cu rated) or replacing corroded components to ensure your system is safe and up to current standards.
My project is a bit unusual. Do you handle non-standard installations?
Yes, that's a specialty of ours. Our background in telecom, data, and custom interior collaborations (like with David Andrew Interiors) means we're accustomed to solving unique challenges. Whether it's integrating special lighting, complex data wiring in a historic property, or a one-of-a-kind built-in, we use our problem-solving skills to find practical, secure solutions. We've tackled projects across the metro area, from Streeterville lofts to South Loop townhomes, and enjoy bringing creative ideas to life.
