How The Holmes Group Elevates Home Inspections with Mould & Radon Testing When it comes to home inspections, most companies stick to the basics—checking structural integrity, electrical systems, plumbing, and roofing.  But The Holmes Group goes far beyond the standard checklist. With a focus on health, safety, and long-term value, The Holmes Group offers comprehensive inspections that include advanced services like mould and radon testing. Why does this matter? Mould and radon are hidden hazards that can have serious consequences. Mould, often caused by water damage or poor ventilation, can trigger allergies, respiratory issues, and even structural damage if left untreated. Radon, a naturally occurring gas, is invisible, odorless, and the second leading cause of lung cancer in North America.

The Holmes Group’s Guide to GFCI Protection

The Holmes Group’s Guide to GFCI Protection The Holmes Group - GFCIs (ground-fault circuit interrupters) are required in areas with moisture, such as bathrooms, kitchens, and outdoor spaces. They work by shutting off power if they detect a ground fault, which helps prevent electric shocks. If a GFCI won’t reset or keeps tripping, it could indicate a problem with the wiring or moisture intrusion. A licensed electrician should inspect and replace any faulty GFCI outlets to ensure proper function and safety.   The Holmes Group Recommends Upgrading Outdated Electrical Panels Older electrical panels may not be able to handle the electrical demands of modern homes. An outdated panel can lead to frequent circuit overloads, breaker trips, and even fire hazards. Signs that an electrical panel may need an upgrade include frequent tripping, scorch marks, or corrosion. If the panel is more than 25 years old, it is recommended to have it inspected by a licensed electrical contractor.
