This is an example of problems with double tapping. Insulation has melted, luckily no house fire (yet).

Double tapped wires can overload a breaker or fuse and raises the risk of fire. Not a reccommended practice.

There are many areas assessed for electrical. For your safety our Certified Home Inspector assesses the service entrance from the masthead to the main electrical panel, main panels and sub-panels, branch circuit wiring and junction boxes, outlets, and fixtures. Checking for wire grounding and voltage capabilities is also notated.

A hot wire nearly in contact with a metal duct. This is life treatening safety hazard.

Burried knob and tube wiring with handy man splices can cause your house to burn down.
