Electrical Issues and the Era of DIY Renovations

In today’s era of DIY home renovations, electrical issues have become more common. Homeowners often tackle small renovation projects themselves, which can lead to improperly installed wiring or outdated electrical systems being left in place. Electrical issues are not just about inconveniences like faulty outlets—they can pose serious safety hazards such as fire risks.

During DHI inspections, we pay close attention to the electrical system of a home. From checking outlets to verifying the condition of wire connections and circuit breakers, we take the time to identify potential hazards. If you're buying a home that has undergone multiple DIY renovations, it’s especially important to have a thorough inspection to catch any unsafe electrical work that could jeopardize your family’s safety.
