That's a fail before the inspector even gets out of the truck πβ‘
The video highlights a small detail inside an electrical panel that can create a big problem during an inspection.
At first glance, the panel looks fairly normal.
Then Brad spots it π
There's an open slot where either a breaker or a panel cover should be installed.
Electrical panels aren't supposed to have empty openings. Every space must either contain a properly installed breaker or be covered with an approved filler plate.
Why?
Because those openings expose the inside of the panel and create a safety concern.
Brad points out that something this small can absolutely result in a failed electrical inspection, whether it's during rough-in or final inspection.
It's a perfect example of how construction often comes down to details. A project can be 99% complete, but inspectors still expect every component to be installed correctly.
For homeowners in Tampa, Clearwater, Dunedin, and Safety Harbor, electrical upgrades, panel replacements, home remodeling, custom construction, and renovation projects all rely on proper installation, code compliance, and attention to detail from start to finish.
