Able Electric | Emergency Electrical Company in Timberville, VA

Yes, absolutely. During a comprehensive electrical inspection, our electricians specifically look for signs of pest damage, which is a common issue in our area. We check attic spaces, crawl spaces, and behind walls for gnawed insulation, nesting materials, and compromised wires. Identifying and repairing this damage is crucial to prevent short circuits, power failures, and potential fire hazards.

We use a combination of visual assessment at your meter and main panel, along with specialized testing equipment to diagnose issues with underground cables. Symptoms like frequent tripping or partial power loss can indicate cable damage. Our inspection will determine if the fault is on your property's side or requires coordination with the utility company, providing you with a clear path to restoration.

An inspection is vital for older homes, as aging systems combined with local factors like soil movement or past rodent activity can compromise wiring. Our inspection evaluates the entire system's safety and capacity, checking for outdated components like knob-and-tube wiring, insufficient grounding, and overloaded circuits. This gives you peace of mind and can prevent costly, dangerous surprises after you move in.
