Knob And Tube Removal And Remediation

You will not see any knob and tube wiring in newer homes. If your home was built pre-1950, take a look in your basement as you likely have knob and tube wiring. The images above show examples of what knob and tube wiring looks like. This type of wiring does not include any ground wires, which significantly increases the risk of fire and shocks, making electrical home safety a concern. Additionally, the rubber insulation on the wires deteriorates over time, becoming brittle, which is often the cause of overheating. If you identify knob and tube wiring in your home, consider professional home wiring services for knob and tube removal to ensure your electrical system meets modern safety standards.
