It’s Wisdom Wednesday, and today we’re talking about something that shouldn’t be "shocking": your home's electrical panel! ⚡

While we don't expect you to be an electrical expert, it’s a great idea to occasionally take a look (without touching the wires!) at your home's electrical hub. We see some interesting things during our inspections, like the melted terminal connection in today’s photo. That is definitely a "call the electrician" moment!

Here are a few red flags to watch for:
🔍 Rust or corrosion on the panel or breakers.
🔍 "Double-tapped" breakers (where two wires are forced into a single connection).
🔍 Melted insulation or scorched-looking plastic.
🔍 Breakers that feel warm to the touch.

If you spot any of these signs of trouble, don't wait: call a licensed electrician right away to keep your home safe.

At Habitation Investigation, our NACHI-certified inspectors check the electrical panel during every single home inspection to ensure everything is functioning as it should. We are proud to be a 4-time winner of Best Home Inspection Company in the Midwest and a 2-time Consumers Choice Award winner. We treat every home like it’s our own, and we back our work with a 200% guarantee!

Stay safe out there, Ohio! If you’re buying, selling, or just want a professional to check on your home's health, give us a call or schedule online anytime.

Recent storms and flooding across the Columbus area have left many homeowners wondering: is there moisture where it shouldn’t be?

A moisture inspection with thermal imaging from Habitation Investigation can look for observable signs of current or past water intrusion, elevated moisture levels, and conditions that may contribute to mold growth. It can help confirm or rule out observable moisture concerns, document the home’s condition, and guide informed next steps.

This can be especially valuable if you’re planning to sell soon: or want helpful documentation for a future sale. Buyers will want to know if looking at your house. You should know to better guard against mold growth and deterioration.

Want clarity after the storm? Schedule a moisture inspection with Habitation Investigation. We serve homeowners throughout Central Ohio and are here to help you make informed decisions with confidence.

Being a licensed home inspector is a bit like having a driver's license: it gets you on the road, but it doesn't make you a professional race car driver! In Ohio, being "licensed" is the bare minimum. At Habitation Investigation, we see that as just the starting line.

Our team is managed by a Certified Master Inspector Instructor, and we pride ourselves on exceeding state requirements through rigorous internal training. We don't just "check boxes." We use advanced tech like thermal imaging and moisture meters to see what others might miss, ensuring your future home is safe and sound.
