Homeowners cannot identify hidden dangerous electrical and gas work (e.g., soldered Romex connections, wrong gas pipe types) left by previous owners or new builders, which standard home inspections fail to detect.
Standard home inspections do not include destructive testing to find hidden wiring or gas piping issues; inspectors are limited by licensing and scope to visible or accessible areas only.
