⚠️ This Old Wiring Can Be a Fire Hazard

During a recent home inspection, I found active knob-and-tube wiring in both the attic and basement.

Knob-and-tube wiring was commonly installed in homes decades ago. While it may still be operational, it is considered an outdated wiring method and is a fire hazard due to aging insulation, improper modifications, overloaded circuits, and the lack of a grounding conductor.

Many homeowners don’t realize this type of wiring is still active until a home inspection reveals it.

This is a great reminder that a home inspection isn’t just about finding defects—it’s about identifying potential safety concerns before they become bigger problems.

🏡 FOR SALE — Our Family’s Home 🏡

This has been a very tough decision for our family, but we’ve officially put our family home on the market. ❤️

Located right in front of the neighborhood playground, this home has been such a special place for us — from evenings around the grill on the back patio overlooking the pond, to movie nights and family gatherings in the multiple living spaces that truly make this home feel connected and welcoming.

With over 3,200 sq. ft., 4 bedrooms, and plenty of room to grow, entertain, and relax together, this home has so much to offer. We’ve also made several major updates, including:
✔️ Architectural shingle roof replaced under 2 years ago
✔️ New gutters/downspouts
✔️ High-efficiency HVAC system replaced approximately 1 year ago
✔️ Solid core bamboo hardwood floors
✔️ Many others

We’re incredibly thankful for all of the amazing Realtors who continually support and recommend our inspection company. We especially want to thank Lindsey Kaye Smalling for helping guide us through this process. If you’re interested in the home, please reach out to your Realtor and contact our listing agent for more information.

We’d truly appreciate any shares to help us find the next family who will love this home as much as we have. ❤️

A stain tells a story… but moisture testing helps determine if the story is still being written. 💧

Today’s morning inspection revealed elevated moisture readings in a ceiling below a bathroom. Technology and experience together help uncover concerns that may not be obvious during a quick walkthrough.

This Memorial Day, we pause to remember and honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. 🇺🇸

A tree doesn’t have to destroy your entire roof to create a serious problem. Even small impact damage can lead to hidden moisture intrusion, leaks, and costly repairs if it’s ignored.

That’s why every FYI Home Inspection includes infrared scanning at no extra charge. We look beyond what’s visible to help uncover hidden issues before they become bigger problems.

Don’t forget to test for radon.

These are the last TWO radon tests we completed — and both came back at dangerously elevated levels. One test averaged 32.4 pCi/L and actually peaked at 50.9 pCi/L during the testing period. The second averaged 17.4 pCi/L.

For reference, the EPA recommends mitigation at just 4.0 pCi/L.

Radon is an invisible radioactive gas that can be present in ANY home — old homes, new construction, homes with or without basements. The only way to know if it’s there is to test.

At FYI Home Inspections, we provide professional radon testing with clear communication and easy-to-understand results so you can make informed decisions about your home and family.
