As part of a kitchen remodel an electrical duplex was added below the sink. The polarity on this outlet is reversed. This means that what is meant to be the “hot” wire is wired as “neutral”. This can cause grounding problems with the garbage disposal or anything else that is plugged into the socket. It was recommended that the owner have an electrician correct the situation to prevent potential problems. There should also be a cover plate on the box. The red device plugged into the socket is my tester used to insure proper polarity and grounding in electrical outlets.

You were really thorough in your inspection, and took the time you needed with us. It was Saturday morning and you could have been watching the clock. I will surely refer you to others and will tell my Realtor how Great you were.

You were very thorough and took the time to explain every question. The inspection report was helpful for a single female, first time home buyer. The photo pages were beneficial in showing where repairs were needed.

All in all you did a great job. You made us feel at ease and not nervous. Did an awesome job pointing out problems, and GOOD things about the house. I loved the photographs of problem spots.

Very pleased with the inspection process from start to finish. Findings were very specific. We learned a lot about the house that we were not aware of. You are friendly and non intimidating, just the kind of person people are hoping to work with.
