Tooele Home Inspector

A remodeled home can look completely different from the day it was built, but that doesn’t always mean the electrical system has changed much. Tooele has gone through several periods of growth, beginning with the railroad and smelting industry in the early 1900s. The Tooele Army Depot brought another wave of jobs and housing during World War II. As a result, the city has homes from different eras, many of which have been updated over the years.

During a Tooele home inspection, we examine the accessible electrical panel, visible wiring and a representative sample of outlets. We also pay attention to areas where electrical work may have been added or changed, such as finished basements, extra bathrooms and garage workshops. A newer-looking room doesn’t necessarily mean the wiring behind the walls was replaced. If we find exposed wiring, questionable connections or other visible concerns, we may recommend having a licensed electrician take a closer look before closing. It’s better to understand what needs attention now, especially if you’re planning to add equipment or remodel the home after moving in.
