When selling a home, outdoor electrical issues can be a major obstacle—especially when they involve power poles, service lines, or hazardous tree growth. Problems with these systems can delay closings, trigger buyer concerns, and even cause insurance issues.

At Polecat Power Line Company, we provide comprehensive outdoor electrical inspections to ensure a property’s exterior power system is safe, code-compliant, and free from hazards that could create costly problems down the road.

Why Realtors & Home Sellers Need This Inspection

Avoid Last-Minute Surprises

Outdoor electrical issues are often overlooked until a buyer’s home inspector or insurance provider flags them. Identifying and fixing them early prevents delays.

Reduce Liability Risks

Leaning poles, damaged service masts, or trees near power lines are serious safety hazards. Addressing them before a sale minimizes risk.

Ensure Utility & Insurance Compliance

Some buyers’ insurance companies require tree clearance from power lines and proper service mast integrity before issuing a policy. A pre-sale inspection ensures everything is up to standard.

Increase Buyer Confidence

A home with a well-maintained outdoor electrical system gives buyers peace of mind, making it easier to close a sale.
