Before and After- Cleaning up the mess after the electrical inspection. Chelan and Leavenworth Real Estate Inspections
As home inspectors we see a lot of dubious wiring practices, mostly by DIY’ers. Many people think it is easy to do wiring but do not understand many of the nuances and safety issues that go with performing electrical installations.
Here in the State of Washington you need to get a permit to do almost any electrical wiring other than changing a receptacle or light fixture. There really is good reason for this.
Here is an example of why it is good to hire a professional electrician.
This is the wiring I found when inspecting the crawlspace. This is a mess to say the least.
Here is what it looks like after a master electrician I know came in and cleaned up the mess. It does not take much to see the difference on workmanship.
Having a licensed electrician perform this work will most likely save you money over the long haul. When you go to sell the home the mess will have to be corrected and you are going to pay a higher price in labor and materials.
Remember getting a permit will help ensure the work was performed according to the current code standards.
“If you think it's expensive to hire a professional to do the job, wait until you hire an amateur.”
