Garage wiring and time to start over.
Garages are a vital part of the home selling. Most homes have a garage. So when you put your home up for sale then you should have a complete inspection on the home and detached garage.
A pre listing inspection would have found these issues and the owner could have had the issues repaired or the very least had them listed in the disclosure statement.
Safety is number one priority.
Having poor wiring creates safety issues within the building being inspected. But this garage had a very long way to go to get to a safe wiring system.
Pictures tell the story.
This is why it's so important the take as many pictures as possible.
Here is a few of those issues listed I the report for the buyers.
This switch was live and in operation. No box no cover simply a bare switch with no protection.
There are several of these open plug boxes in the garage.
Hanging light and several splices in the electrical lines.
Recommendations.
Remove the wiring and start over. the was an ungrounded system to strt with.
Best practices is to remove existing and have the garage wired properly to code.
This is why you always get a "Home Inspection" by a Honest certified inspector. For the peace of mind. Call Clint at 1-575-706-5586
