Unpermitted Work Remediation & Inspections
Make It Legal
Did a previous owner finish the basement without a permit? "Who'd you say did the electrical work? Oh, that would be my nephew Thomas. He's very handy... Oh. What year did his house burn down?" We specialize in untangling amateur electrical work, bringing it up to code, and getting it signed off by the city.
When you sell, you must seal a disclosure. Hiding unpermitted work is fraud. Fixing it before you list increases value and prevents the deal from falling apart during inspection.
Permit-Ready Repairs
We don't just patch it; we permit it. Here is how we turn illegal work into approved improvements.
Forensic Audit
Opening Walls. We trace circuits to find buried junction boxes, undersized wire, and dangerous connections hidden behind drywall. We map out exactly what needs to be fixed.
Code Upgrades
Meeting Standards. DIY work rarely follows code (spacing, AFCI protection, box fill). We re-work the devices and panels to meet current NEC safety standards.
Retroactive Permit
City Approval. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and stand with the inspector to verify the work. You get a closed permit and a clean title.
The Liability
"I Know a Guy"
- Danger: High risk of fire from amateur connections.
- Void: Insurance may deny claims caused by unpermitted work.
- Devalue: Buyers will ask for a huge discount to fix it.
Code Compliant
- Safe: Verified by a licensed Master Electrician.
- Insurable: Fully covering your investment.
- Valuable: "New Wiring" is a selling point, not a secret.
