As the home inspector looked in a Walnut Creek walk-in crawlspace,the inspector was amazed by the number of electrical wires stuffed into an electrical junction box.
A junction box or J-box is a place where wires are connected together, and there’s a maximum number of how many wires can fill the box.
Too many wires can cause dangerous over-heating, short circuiting, and electrical fire.
Junction boxes also require a cover and someone would be hard pressed to install a cover on this installation.
There’s nothing worse than an electrical fire to ruin your day.
