Frequently Asked

Electrical Safety Inspection FAQs

What's included in an electrical safety inspection?

We check the main panel and any sub-panels for brand and condition, look for known-problem panels (Federal Pacific Stab-Lok, Zinsco), verify grounding and bonding, identify aluminum branch wiring, test a representative sample of GFCI and AFCI outlets, audit smoke and CO detector code compliance, and visually inspect accessible wiring and junction boxes. You get a written report listing every issue found, severity, and what's needed to address it.

How long does an inspection take?

Most single-family home inspections take 60–90 minutes on site. We deliver the written report within 24 hours, including photos of any issues found.

Do you provide a written report I can share with my insurance carrier or a home buyer?

Yes — a signed PDF report on Fogle & Sons letterhead with photos, severity ratings, and itemized recommendations. Insurance carriers and real estate buyers accept it directly.

Is an electrical inspection required when selling my home in South Carolina?

Not by law, but most home inspectors flag electrical issues that buyers then ask the seller to fix. A pre-listing safety inspection lets you address items on your own timeline instead of mid-negotiation. We handle the repairs too, so you can do both in one visit.

Can you inspect aluminum wiring or knob-and-tube in older Columbia homes?

Yes. Aluminum branch wiring is common in 1965–1973 Columbia builds — especially Shandon, Heathwood, and parts of Forest Acres. True knob-and-tube is rare here but found in some 1920s–1940s historic homes. We identify both and lay out the remediation options (AlumiConn pigtails for aluminum, replacement for knob-and-tube).
