Electrical Repairs and Troubleshooting for a Failed Inspection in Charlotte, NC
Touchstone Electric’s Charlotte branch (Matthews) completed a focused round of Electrical Repairs & Troubleshooting on January 5, 2026, for Walsh Crawl Space & Structural Repair in Charlotte, NC. After an inspection identified multiple code issues, our electricians Theo Coetsee and Robert Sloan addressed the highest-priority safety and compliance items to help move the property toward a clean re-inspection.
Code Violations Corrected on This Visit
- Reversed polarity corrected: Garage refrigerator receptacles tested with hot and neutral reversed; we corrected the wiring to proper polarity for safe appliance operation.
- Added GFCI protection: Installed required GFCI protection at specified receptacles to meet current code and reduce shock risk.
- Installed panel filler plates: Added approved filler plates at the main electrical panel to eliminate exposed openings.
- Secured loose outlets: Tightened and re-mounted multiple loose receptacles throughout the home as marked, improving device stability and conductor integrity.
- Troubleshot and restored a dead circuit: Located a loss of power at a wall receptacle area and restored service with proper connections and continuity.
These targeted corrections addressed the most urgent safety concerns and common reasons for failed inspections in Charlotte homes.
Additional Issues Cited by the Inspector
The inspection notes also referenced other conditions, which are typical findings during code compliance checks:
- Ceiling light at the main center location not properly mounted.
- Second-floor left bathroom missing a spacer at the receptacle/switch combo.
- Second-floor right bathroom with two switches operating the same light; non-functioning exhaust fan.
- Attic lights missing and some fixtures not properly mounted.
- Attic and crawlspace junction boxes missing covers; old/abandoned wiring requiring proper demolition.
- Balcony receptacles with loose devices and missing weatherproof (in-use) covers.
- Missing receptacles noted at the second balcony.
