Chicago Knob and Tube offers residential replacement across Chicagoland. This questionnaire organizes a project; it cannot diagnose wiring, certify safety or predict insurance acceptance. Answer only from information you already have. Do not touch wiring, remove covers or enter unsafe spaces.

Organize the finding

Is there smoke, fire, a burning smell or another immediate electrical hazard?Does an existing inspection report identify knob-and-tube wiring?Has an insurer asked for a wiring assessment or completion document?Are you planning a renovation that may expose old wiring?Do existing records describe both old and modern wiring?Will people remain in the home during the work?Does the project involve apartments or shared building spaces?Are finished walls or ceilings limiting the planned access?Do you have permits or records describing earlier electrical work?

What the result means

If your answers indicate an immediate hazard, the result directs you to address it before planning a project. An inspection or insurer deadline calls for a documented assessment, not a guarantee that the property will meet a policy condition. Wiring discovered during renovation needs an agreed plan before walls or ceilings are closed. Unknown answers remain unknown; the tool never treats them as proof that wiring is safe or abandoned.
