Knob and Tube Wiring Q

[Mia Edgar]

I received an inspection report with remnant knob and tube wiring. During due diligence I asked for an electrician to certify safety.  

The receipt is as follows with remarks:

Troubleshoot and Repair level 1
Grounding system level 1

Open splice repairs. Char marks on the rafters were from a previous incident and are no longer an issue
The ground rod is located in the meter can outside


is there a reason they didn’t remove the knob and tube wiring? Is it safe because the ground rod is outside?


thanks,

Mia
