A bad connection in this junction box led to a small arc occuring inside the wirenut, which eventually created enough heat to melt through the plastic and create a small fire inside the box. With our home safety inspection, we have special equipment which will help us find these faulty connections and problem areas before the problem occurs.

This image is from a home where a Do it Yourself genius was hard at work. Improper loads on outlet circuits in this home due to oversized circuit breakers on undersized wiring caused major damage to the wire itself, and could have led to a major fire. We check and double check our cabling to make sure it is installed per New York State Code, and we can inspect your current wiring to make sure it is not a hazard to your family.
