While completing the inspection of the electrical system, you realize there is an electrical problem. You do not need to identify the cause of the electrical problem. Home inspectors are not required to determine or identify the root cause of any type of defect or problem in the home. Your insurance provider may preclude you from identifying causes of defects to avoid liability. The problem should definitely be noted in the report, however. If you can see where the problem originates, including a picture in your report is acceptable. It is permissible to recommend the type of technician that is needed to identify and address the problem (in this scenario, a certified electrician).
