Remodel Wiring & Rewiring questions
Straight answers to what Northern Virginia homeowners ask most.
What is knob and tube wiring?
It is very old wiring, common before the 1950s, run on porcelain knobs and tubes. It has no ground, and many insurance companies will not cover homes that still use it.
Can you rewire a house without tearing out all the walls?
Often yes. We fish new wire through walls and ceilings from the attic, the basement and small openings, then patch the holes.
