I often become friends with my clients. My second clients bought a home that had updated electrical. We had the house inspected and he detailed a lot of things (mostly trivial). What the inspector failed to notice was that the wire to the circuit breaker was just wrapped around the screw. Over time (or maybe earlier) this came lose and heated up the circuit (I guess it arced). Last night at temple they told me this story. Luckily the damage was fixed my an electrician changing the circuit but I know the house had been inspect twice in short order.... My clients also had some electrical work done on the house when they purchased it (not the circuit breakers). My question is..... Why didn't our inspector or the sellers inspector pick this up? It is beyond my competence to examine the circuits... That is why I have my buyers higher home inspectors.
