What does it mean if the inspection report flags aluminum wiring in a Marshall home?

If we identify aluminum branch wiring in a Marshall home, it usually points to a house built in a specific window, roughly the mid-1960s through the 1970s, when aluminum was used for general circuits. The concern is that aluminum expands, contracts, and can oxidize at connections, which over time may loosen and overheat at outlets, switches, and panels. This does not mean the home is unsafe today or unsellable, but it does warrant evaluation by a qualified electrician and may require approved connectors or remediation, and some insurers ask about it. During the inspection we note the wiring type and any visible warning signs like discoloration at devices. Knowing this before closing lets you budget for correction or negotiate. Many homes with aluminum wiring are safely managed with proper connections.
