Default Reverse polarity outlet fix?


"Bob M" wrote in message
...
In the process of selling a home and the inspector detected two duplex
outlets with "reverse polarity". He states that the installer reversed
the
breaker box as well and that is why they work (?)

What must one do to correct this polarity issue? Advice, examples, etc?
Thanks.




Like someone else mentioned, I would check every thing on this particular
circuit. It could be as simple as just reversing the wires on the
receptacles or something else may be coming into play. Does this house have
knob and tube wiring?
