Electrical Contractor East Palo Alto CA | Call Brothers Construction

We use weatherproof, in-use outlet covers and GFCI protection on all outdoor circuits. For new constructions like decks and patios, we also strategically place outlets to minimize water exposure and use corrosion-resistant materials to prevent the common local issue of circuit failure.

For any addition, we recommend a dedicated circuit for the new space and an inspection of your main electrical panel to ensure it can handle the load. Crucially, we install proper grounding and upgrade any outdoor wiring runs to UF cable or conduit to prevent corrosion and water intrusion, which are frequent issues here.

Yes, we can diagnose and repair the faulty wiring or fixtures, often caused by corrosion. For a lasting fix, we typically recommend replacing standard fixtures with sealed, wet-location-rated LED units and ensuring the junction boxes are properly sealed against our local dampness to prevent future problems.
