Home Inspection Turns Up Garage Carbon Monoxide and Fire Danger
Home Inspection Turns Up Garage Carbon Monoxide and Fire Danger. Take a look at this picture. I inspected a home that was 3 years old yesterday. In the garage a section of drywall was removed from the wall nearest the cieling. On closer inspection it was observed that a section of the sheer wall was also removed. Trying to figure out why, I was ably to find a Romex wire run from a junction box in the wall cavity run to a ceiling fan in the bedroom. The box was ungrounded and the fan box was not properly supported. This 3' x 3' hole would allow harmful carbon monoxide gas to enter the living areas and provide a path for possible fires to rush up into the attic. Easy fix just replace plywood, drywall and fire-tape. Safety before comfort!
