Gooch Electric & Plumbing
Frayed wires and brittle insulation are leading causes of house fires in older homes. Our thorough inspections go beyond the panel to find hidden dangers in your attic and crawlspace, ensuring your system meets modern safety codes.
Electrical Safety Inspections & Code Compliance
Whether you are buying a new home, renovating an older property, or just want peace of mind, Blake Gooch provides the expert eye needed to ensure your electrical system is safe, efficient, and fully up to modern standards.
When Should You Schedule an Inspection?
Buying or Selling a Home: Ensure there are no costly electrical surprises during the real estate process.
Older Homes (25+ Years): Wiring insulation can degrade, and old standards (like ungrounded outlets) may no longer be safe.
Major Renovations: If you're adding on to your home, the existing system must be inspected to ensure it can handle the new load.
Frequent Electrical Issues: If you notice flickering lights, warm outlets, or a persistent burning smell.
Electrical codes change every three years. As a local, family-owned business, we stay current on the National Electrical Code (NEC) and local Jefferson/Jackson County requirements. We don't just find problems; we provide clear, prioritized solutions to bring your home up to modern standards.
Local Code Expertise

Attic & Crawlspace Wiring: Inspecting for rodent damage or "knob and tube" wiring in historic homes.
