🔎 From the Field: One Breaker, Two Wires

During this inspection, we found two electrical conductors connected to a breaker terminal designed for only one.

This condition—commonly called a “double tap”—can prevent the wires from being secured properly. A loose connection may lead to overheating, arcing, or damage inside the electrical panel.

Not every double-wire connection is automatically defective; certain breakers are specifically designed and listed to accept two conductors. That was not the case with the connection shown here.

Electrical panels can reveal safety concerns that are easy to miss without a thorough inspection. We recommended evaluation and correction by a licensed electrician.

Professional water testing is an important step for homeowners, buyers, and sellers.

Testing can help identify concerns such as bacteria, nitrates, lead, and other contaminants that may not be visible.

For properties using private wells or older plumbing, regular testing can provide valuable information about water quality and help support informed decisions.

💡 Did You Know? #009

A dock gangway can become significantly steeper as water levels and tides change.

A steep walking surface—especially one without handrails—may increase the risk of slips and falls. During a dock inspection, we evaluate visible conditions such as the walking surfaces, railings, framing, pilings, connections, boat lift, and accessible electrical components.

Waterfront features are a major investment. Make sure they’re inspected along with the home.

🔎 From the Field: A Small Area Can Reveal a Much Bigger Problem

At first glance, this appeared to be a relatively small area of suspected microbial growth.

However, a tape-lift sample analyzed by the laboratory identified a high concentration of Chaetomium—a mold commonly associated with chronically wet building materials. That finding changed the direction and potential scope of the entire project.

The lesson? The size of the visible area doesn’t always tell the full story. Identifying the moisture source, evaluating concealed materials, and using laboratory testing when appropriate can make the difference between a surface-level repair and a properly planned remediation.

When mold is suspected, don’t guess—test and investigate.

Not every home problem comes with an obvious warning sign.

Sometimes, important clues are hidden behind walls, beneath floors, or in areas that look completely normal.

Thermal imaging uses advanced infrared technology to detect temperature differences that may reveal hidden moisture, insulation gaps, air leaks, and potential electrical concerns.

Early detection can help prevent costly repairs, improve energy efficiency, and support a safer, more comfortable home.

🏠 Homeowner Maintenance Tip #010: Check Your Exterior Dryer Vent

This dryer vent had become home to several wasp nests, significantly restricting airflow.

A blocked dryer vent can:

🔥 Increase the risk of a dryer fire
💨 Make clothes take longer to dry
⚡ Increase energy use
🔧 Shorten the life of the dryer

Inspect the exterior vent periodically and make sure the flap opens freely while the dryer is running. Dryer vents should discharge outdoors without screens that can trap lint. If insects are active, contact a pest-control professional before attempting removal.

💡 Did You Know? #008

Even in an unfinished garage, electrical connections must be properly contained inside an approved junction box with a secure cover.

During this inspection, we found an uncovered electrical box with exposed wiring in the open garage ceiling. Unfinished areas are still required to have safe, properly protected electrical components.

Conditions like this should be evaluated and corrected by a qualified electrician to help reduce the risk of electrical shock, damage, or fire.
