Code Violation & Inspection Repairs in Perry Hall & Baltimore County
Pass Your Inspection with Confidence — Fast, Reliable Code Violation Repairs
Code Violation & Inspection Repairs
When it comes to buying, selling, or renovating property in Baltimore County, few things bring progress to a halt faster than code violations. Whether you’re a homeowner trying to close on a sale, a real estate agent navigating a time-sensitive transaction, or a landlord facing a failed rental inspection — White Marsh Power & Electric is your trusted partner for resolving electrical code issues quickly and correctly.
We specialize in correcting electrical problems flagged during home inspections, municipal code enforcement, insurance evaluations, and fire marshal walk-throughs. Our master electrician has over a decade of experience working with Baltimore County inspectors, real estate professionals, and property owners to bring properties up to code — fast.
Code violations are any conditions or components in your electrical system that do not comply with local or national electrical safety standards, such as:
National Electrical Code (NEC)
Local building department amendments
Baltimore County electrical permit requirements
Fire code enforcement
Insurance underwriting standards
FHA/VA inspection guidelines
Violations can include outdated wiring, missing GFCI protection, overloaded panels, unpermitted additions, improperly bonded services, or DIY work done without a licensed contractor. These issues are often discovered during:
Pre-listing home inspections
FHA/VA appraisals
Fire marshal inspections for businesses
Rental housing inspections
Insurance evaluations after a claim or storm
We have extensive experience fixing the most frequent electrical violations in Perry Hall, White Marsh, Nottingham, Towson, and surrounding areas. Here are some of the most common ones we encounter:
Missing GFCI or AFCI Protection
Current code requires GFCI outlets in kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, garages, and outdoor areas — as well as AFCI breakers for bedrooms and living spaces. We upgrade outlets and breakers to current standards quickly and neatly.
Double-Tapped Breakers
When two wires are connected to a breaker that’s only designed for one, it’s considered a fire hazard. We correct this with new breakers or subpanels.
Open Splices or Junctions Without Covers
Uncontained wire splices are a serious fire risk and commonly cited in inspection reports. We locate and enclose all open connections to bring your system up to code.
Overfused Circuits
When a breaker is rated for higher amperage than the wire can handle, overheating becomes likely. We reconfigure the circuit to match the proper load.
Grounding and Bonding Deficiencies
Improper grounding systems can create shock hazards and fail to protect sensitive equipment. We evaluate and correct grounding at the panel, meter, and service entrance.
Missing Permits or Work Done by Unlicensed Contractors
If you’re facing reinspection because of prior unpermitted work, we can reverse-engineer the electrical system, obtain retroactive permits, and bring everything into compliance.
Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Detector Violations
Code requires hardwired smoke detectors with battery backup — often interconnected — and CO detectors in specific locations. We install these per local fire code.
Inadequate Service Capacity
Sometimes, inspectors cite undersized panels or outdated fuse boxes. We offer full panel upgrades, service entrance upgrades, and meter socket replacement to meet modern capacity demands.
Improper Light Fixture Wiring or Missing Junction Boxes
Loose, improperly supported, or unsafe fixture installations are frequently noted on inspection reports. We rewire, brace, and reinstall all lighting safely.
