Brady Electric | Expert Electricians in Seattle, WA

Yes, absolutely. Our thorough electrical inspections specifically look for signs of rodent activity, such as chewed wire insulation in attics, crawl spaces, and behind walls—a common issue in our area. Identifying and repairing this damage is crucial to prevent short circuits, power outages, and potential fire hazards.

Frequent AFCI trips often point to a specific problem, like damaged wiring or a faulty appliance. We typically recommend starting with a diagnostic inspection. This allows us to pinpoint the exact cause—whether it's localized rodent damage, a loose connection, or another issue—before performing the necessary, targeted repair to resolve the nuisance trips safely.

Rodent damage exposes bare wires, creating arc faults—precisely what AFCIs are designed to detect. While the breaker trips to prevent a fire, the damaged wire remains a persistent risk. Our repair service doesn't just stop the trips; we permanently remove the compromised wiring section, eliminating the arc fault source and restoring your electrical system's integrity and safety.
