2) Electrical Inspections 101
Course L2778-02 (2 credits)
·
September 16 from 6 - 8 pm
Face it, the electrical system is one of the most difficult-to-understand systems that we need to competently evaluate during a home inspection. During this class, we will perform a virtual inspection on the ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, focusing on what our responsibilities include, as well as the “how” factor while conducting this part of our inspection. Not only do we need to fully understand the system, we also need to be able to explain these components and issues found to our clients in simple, understandable terms.
We will begin on the outside of the structure, explaining and identifying components and what to look for during the inspection. From there we will dig into the electrical panels, both primary and secondary, discuss grounding and bonding, proper wire size-to-breakers, common defects found in panels, such as double tapped circuits, over-fusing, top-tapping… as well as discuss detached building panels. Lastly, we will discuss procedures for inspecting devices throughout the building, including how to determine if a receptacle is properly wired, and common defects found “in the field”. This will include discussion on ungrounded 3-prong receptacles, reversed-polarity, GFCI and AFCI devices, where they should be located, and much more!

4) Water, Water, Everywhere!
Course L2994-02 (2 credits)
·
September 16 from 8:15 - 10:15 pm
During this class, we will be virtually leading home inspectors through a house with an eye towards determining where water enters, both in the form of liquid water and water vapor. We will also discuss how these issues affect the building structure, the material durability and indoor air quality. Once we’ve established where and how it enters, we will continue by going over the processes and procedures for eliminating these conditions. You’ll be surprised at some of the pathways!
