Yes, You Should Have Your Garage Inspected Too

One thing that you might not think about when it comes time to get a home inspection is that your garage needs to be inspected as well. While a garage might seem like such a simple building, there are a few things that are important to have inspected.

If your garage has automated garage doors, for example, they need to have sensors installed properly to ensure that they won’t pose a hazard for the safety of you and your family, and so that the door won’t close on your car and damage it.

Electrical installations in a garage can also prove to be a hazard if they aren’t done properly. Since garages are sometimes built after the main building, the electrical work might not have been done by a professional electrician, and without an inspection, this might never be discovered.

An electrical fault in your garage could lead to a fire, which then could spread to your home and cause serious damage, even posing a risk to your life.
