Post Property Inspection Case Study
During our inspections we find some scary installations that could potentially become fatal.
Incorrect Installation
Throughout this house there was a number of switch mechs installed sideways, this is alarming because rotating the switch mech inside the switch plate is an easy job that any qualified electrician should know. This is a good indication the person conducting the electrical work was unqualified to do so.
Cracked Power Points
We also found power points that looked like this. The crack in the switch is exposing live conductors behind. Scary because this was the garage light switch so if you went through the rain to get to the garage and turned on the light with wet hands you could end up getting an electric shock.
Missing Main Earthing Stake
The same house with the cracked light switches also had no main earth stake and a high resistance to the waterbond meaning if you came in to contact with a live conductor you would become the path of least resistance for the electricity to travel.. potentially causing Death!
Cracks Exposing Live Conductors
This is another common fault. Bathroom light switches with cracks exposing live conductors. This is not acceptable, especially in a room where it is common to have wet hands. What makes this even more dangerous is that houses built before 2001 did not have to have safety switches on the light circuits.
Locations of Smoke Alarms
Although Battery smoke Alarms are permitted by legislation, The installation is not regulated so any one can buy one and screw it up, but did you know a smoke alarm installed near the corner of the wall and ceiling junction will not be effective, as this is the very last place the smoke will reach, meaning the house is already completly full of smoke and flames before your smoke alarm will detect it.
