What we check

Caught before you buy.

We look for active knob-and-tube in the attic, basement and panel, and note where it has been buried in insulation or spliced into modern circuits.

Why it matters

Aged knob-and-tube is a fire and insurability concern. Many insurers won't cover it, so finding it before closing matters.
