We see this more often than you you think! A double tapped breaker is when two wires are connected to a single breaker terminal—even though most breakers are designed for just one wire.

⚠️ Why it matters:
• Can lead to loose connections
• Increases risk of overheating or arcing
• May cause breaker failure or fire hazards

🔍 When is it okay?
• Only if the breaker is specifically rated for two conductors (not common)

🛠️ Typical fix:
• Install a properly rated breaker or
• Add a pigtail connection to safely combine wires

💡 Inspector Tip: Always check the breaker label—if it doesn’t say it supports two wires, it’s likely a defect.

🏡 Current homeowners — this is worth a read. Home inspectors are seeing a growing trend of routine maintenance being delayed, and it’s leading to bigger, more expensive problems later on.

🚿 Small leaks, drainage issues, aging roofs, and “quick DIY fixes” often go unnoticed until real damage is done. Inspectors say many of these issues could’ve been avoided with regular check-ups and simple upkeep.

👉 Your home doesn’t need to be perfect — it needs to be maintained. Staying ahead of small issues protects your investment and saves money in the long run.

If you need a home checkup, give us a call. We will evaluate your home for needed repairs.

Is Your Home Turning 20? Here’s What You Need to Know.

Owning a home is a long-term investment, but once your house hits the 20-year mark, it’s time to give it some serious TLC. Unlike cars, homes don’t flash warning lights when systems start to fail—so preventive maintenance is key.

🔨 Start with the essentials: roofs and gutters, HVAC systems, and water heaters. These are often at the end of their lifespan and can cause expensive damage if neglected.

⚡ Don’t overlook safety: outdated electrical panels, expired smoke alarms, and missing CO detectors can put your family at risk.

💡 Think efficiency: upgrading old kitchen appliances and insulation not only saves money but also improves comfort.

Finally, consider a professional home inspection. Spending a few thousand now could save you tens of thousands later—and give you peace of mind that your home is ready for the next 20 years
