Touchstone Electric completed an electrical outlet installation and rough-in correction for Carolina Custom Construction in Waxhaw, NC. On June 5, 2025, our technician, Jose Rodriguez, addressed items cited during a rough-in inspection so the project could move forward to re-inspection with confidence. This service was performed by our Matthews branch, part of our Charlotte business unit.
What we corrected for code compliance
Based on the inspector’s notes, our team delivered targeted fixes to meet current rough-in standards and room outlet spacing requirements.
- Added a receptacle on the LVL short wall: Installed a code-required outlet on the short wall that supports the right side of the LVLs in the main room, ensuring proper accessibility and spacing coverage for that wall section.
- Installed a nail guard at the bottom plate: Fitted a protective nail guard under the outlet near the front window to safeguard wiring where nails or fasteners could penetrate the bottom plate.
- Provided an outlet accessible from the back porch: Added an outlet to ensure there is a reachable power source from the back porch, aligning the layout with accessibility expectations at rough-in.
These targeted updates were completed cleanly and with attention to detail so the framing, wiring protection, and device locations are ready for the next inspection step.
Our process on this Waxhaw job
We started by reviewing the inspection notes and walking the space with the builder’s scope to confirm exact locations and measurements. After marking the device positions, Jose placed the new outlet boxes, secured framing protections where required, and made the necessary terminations in accordance with rough-in best practices.
Before wrapping up, the team verified mounting heights, box securement, and protection at framing members to help prevent damage during drywall and trim. The result is a neat, inspector-ready installation that follows local code requirements and supports a smooth re-inspection.
Why these corrections matter
Rough-in inspections focus on safety, layout, and long-term reliability before finish work begins. Small items—like a missing outlet on a short wall, or unprotected conductors at a bottom plate—can cause delays if not corrected quickly. By addressing the LVL short wall receptacle, adding the nail guard, and ensuring porch access to power, Touchstone Electric helped this Waxhaw project stay on schedule and meet the next milestone with confidence.
