Questions and Answers

My lights in my Philly rowhome keep flickering. Can an electrical inspection from Alex Home Repairs identify if it's a damaged underground cable?

Absolutely. Flickering lights in older Philadelphia homes are often a sign of aging wiring or, in some areas, compromised underground service cables. Our comprehensive electrical inspection is designed to trace the issue back to its source. We'll check your home's internal wiring, panel, and connections to rule out common problems. If we suspect an issue with the underground feed from the street—a known local concern—we can advise you on the next steps and coordinate with the utility company if needed, ensuring your home's electrical system is safe and stable.

After fixing flickering lights or old plumbing, I have leftover materials. Do you offer junk pickup for this kind of debris?

Yes, we do! We know that home repairs in Philly often generate specific debris like old wiring, conduit, pipes, and fixtures. Our junk removal service is perfectly suited for post-project cleanup. Once our electricians or plumbers complete an inspection and any necessary repairs, we can schedule a convenient pickup to haul away all the resulting debris and old materials. This keeps your property safe, tidy, and compliant with local disposal regulations, providing a complete, start-to-finish solution for your home repair needs.

Why is a plumbing inspection important if I'm having electrical issues like flickering lights in my Philadelphia home?

In Philadelphia's older homes, electrical and plumbing systems are often intertwined behind walls and under floors. A persistent moisture leak from a pipe can corrode electrical connections or create a serious shock hazard, potentially causing flickering or other irregularities. As a full-service home repair company, we take a holistic view. A plumbing inspection alongside an electrical check can identify these hidden, cross-system risks. This proactive approach ensures we address the root cause of the problem, not just a symptom, protecting your home from water damage and electrical fires.
