Water intrusion is a major safety issue for outlets, especially in our area's weather. During an inspection, we will check that the affected outlet is a proper weatherproof (WR) grade and that its cover and seal are intact. We'll also test for ground fault protection (ensuring the GFCI is functioning) and inspect for any internal corrosion or damage to the wiring that could lead to shorts or shock hazards, recommending necessary repairs or upgrades.

Many older homes in Manassas have original wiring that may not meet modern safety standards or handle today's electrical loads. Our inspection provides a detailed report on the entire system's health. We identify potential problems like aluminum wiring, insufficient grounding, or outdated panels that could lead to the local issues of overheating or water vulnerability. This knowledge gives you peace of mind and can be crucial for negotiation and planning essential upgrades.
