Building Codes

A good example of a safety item is the installation of GFCI safety outlets (outlets typically with the red and black test and reset buttons on them; click here for helpful information on GFCI outlets). They are inexpensive, life-saving devices that have only been around for about twenty years. Rook Home Inspections LLC recommends that GFCI electric outlets be installed where there is water, electricity, and metal-encased appliances, most typically the kitchen, bathrooms, laundry, garage, and exterior locations; please consult with a licensed electrician for all options concerning GFCI electric outlets.
