Electrical Safety Inspections
Our 40 Point Electrical Home Inspection is designed to alert you of possible hazards or potential safety problems. One of the most important systems to a home buyer or a homeowner is the electrical system. At Cooper, our inspection includes:
The inspection of a select number of wiring devices (outlets, switches, etc.) to:
check the condition of the device and the wire feeding the device
check for open grounds
check for proper polarity
check the integrity of the connections
check to see whether it is properly wired (i.e. proper wiring methods and workmanship)
A representative number of devices will be checked. Typically, we check 10-15% of the devices but if we find problems in some of the devices, we increase the number of devices that we check so that we can better evaluate the probability that the problems exist in other areas:
Inspect the main panel and sub panels for proper grounding, bonding, and integrity of connections.
Check the integrity of the water meter bonding jumper if it is present.
Check for the presence of a driven ground rod and the integrity of the connection.
Check for proper grounding of supplemental systems such as telephone and cable television and the integrity of the connections.
Check critical areas for potential corrosion problems that may result from improper connections or the use of dissimilar metals.
