Knob and Tube Wiring Replacement in Spokane, WA
Spokane’s historic neighborhoods, including the South Hill, Browne’s Addition, Corbin Park and West Central, still have many homes wired with knob and tube. This wiring is over 80 years old, has no ground and often has brittle insulation. Many insurers will not cover homes that still use it. We remove and replace it safely.

- Care for plaster walls and historic trim

- Grounded circuits, GFCI and AFCI protection
Knob and tube was never meant to be buried in insulation, and decades of DIY splices make it riskier. We trace every live run, replace it with modern grounded wiring and provide the documentation your insurance company asks for.
It lacks a ground, the insulation breaks down with age, and it can overheat when covered by insulation. Replacement is strongly recommended.
Many insurers refuse or charge more. We provide paperwork once it is replaced.
Look for ceramic knobs and tubes in the attic or basement, or two-prong outlets throughout. We can confirm with an inspection.
We fish wires through existing cavities wherever possible and keep openings small.
