No it doesn’t. You can change, adjust & modify anything in Home Hub Zone. The classification you are referring is for organizing report defects under the summary or in your report if you would like.
My classification labels for my summary have been changed to: Safety, Structural, Mechanical & Maintenance. No major/minor crap.
These classifications do not show up in my report, only as headings in my summary.
I also have other deficiencies & information in my reports that do not have/fall under any classification.
Yes it warrants an evaluation by an licensed electrician. Chances are that the area of that bus stab that the main CB is connected to is not damaged and as depicted in the photo there is no hazard. Add a new CB on the damaged stab then there may be an issue. Again this is merely speculation based on a photo.
Looks to me like the power was present to the lines feeding the breaker and they had it in the On position when they attached it to the panel. There is enough going on in that panel including the arcing at breaker and the loose knock-out (another arcing incident waiting to happen). Call it out to be corrected and Yes put some Bold Red in there to counter when the agent says “probably nothing to worry about”
I had no idea you could change anything more than the colors of the concerns. I work for a local home inspector who I do inspections for and write reports for. He uses the major, safety, moderate, minor and possible concern settings. I doubt he will want to change anything on the program now that hes done so many like this but I am going to let him know that it is an option. Thanks for the heads up on this.
Thanks Robert, I’m just putting it in my report as needs further evaluation by a licensed electrician, theres plenty of other stuff wrong in the panel as well as in the home that she knows shes need an electrician regardless.
The screw is the required hold down device on that brand of breaker. There is nothing wrong with it. Why do you think the breaker needs to be replaced?
