Safety Inspections
Comprehensive electrical safety inspections — know what's in your walls before it becomes a problem.
Know What's In Your Walls.
A professional electrical safety inspection is a comprehensive evaluation of your home's entire electrical system — panel, wiring, outlets, switches, grounding, and service entrance — performed by a licensed electrician and documented in a written report. Seattle homes have specific risk factors: the Pacific Northwest's damp climate accelerates corrosion; many homes were built before modern safety codes (pre-1970s construction in Capitol Hill, Queen Anne, Ballard, and West Seattle); and knob-and-tube wiring is still present in some older structures. LLUMINET provides full inspections with prioritized findings — immediate safety concerns first, code violations next, general improvements as budget allows.
FAQ
Answers To The Frequently Asked Questions.
A standard single-family home inspection takes 2–3 hours depending on size and accessibility. Larger or older homes may take longer.
The report prioritizes findings by urgency. Immediate safety concerns (fire or shock hazards) should be addressed first. Code violations come next, particularly if you're selling or refinancing. General improvements can be scheduled as budget allows.
For older homes (40+ years), every 3–5 years is a reasonable cadence. New construction should be inspected if you notice any issues or after any significant storm or surge event.
