Inspecting Real Estate in Nashville, TN ~ Garage Door Safety

Inspecting real estate in Nashville, TN ~ Garage door safety...
     Garage doors are the largest moving object in your home. Child and pet safety are major areas of concern when purchasing or having your new home inspected. Municipalities and insurance companies now require photo eyes to be installed on all mechanically operated garage doors. As a general rule, these are to be placed between 4-6" above the garage floor. 
     Every now and then, the placement of these safety items is overlooked during the new construction process. While these are supposed to be checked by local building officials prior to a house being issued a CO (Certificate of Occupancy), these often get overlooked during the final inspection. Thankfully, the home inspection process catches these items to ensure as safe dwelling for you and your family.
