Electrical Inspection Services in Thomasville, PA | Barco Electrical

Rodents like mice and squirrels often nest in attics and chew on wiring insulation, which can expose live wires and create a serious fire or shock hazard. A professional inspection from Barco Electrical can identify this hidden damage, especially in attic wiring, before it leads to a short circuit or electrical failure.

During an attic inspection in Thomasville, we specifically check for rodent nesting materials, gnaw marks on wire sheathing, and any compromised connections that could cause short circuits. We also look for overheating signs, improper insulation contact, and ensure the wiring meets current safety codes to prevent future issues.

First, if safe to do so, turn off power to the affected circuit at your breaker panel to prevent further damage or risk. Then, contact a professional electrician immediately. Do not attempt to handle exposed wiring yourself. Barco Electrical can safely diagnose the extent of the rodent damage, repair the short circuit, and recommend preventative measures to protect your Thomasville home.
