Barlow Electrical Services - Asheville's Qualified Electrical Company

Yes, absolutely. During our detailed electrical inspection, we specifically look for signs of pest damage, which is a common issue here. We check insulation, junction boxes, and attic or crawl space wiring for chew marks, nesting materials, or exposed conductors. Identifying and repairing this damage is critical to preventing short circuits, power outages, and potential fire hazards.

Our inspection process includes testing and evaluating all circuits, including those fed by underground lines. We can identify symptoms of underground cable failure, such as frequent tripping, low voltage, or unexplained outages. While locating the exact breach may require additional trenchless locating services, our inspection pinpoints the problematic circuit and confirms the issue, giving you a clear path for repair.

Given our local challenges like animal activity and aging infrastructure, a professional inspection is a key preventative measure. It goes beyond a basic check to uncover hidden risks you might not see. We provide a complete safety assessment, ensure your system meets current National Electrical Code standards, and offer recommendations to enhance reliability and efficiency, ultimately protecting your investment and your family's safety.
