Yes, water intrusion into electrical outlets is a serious safety hazard that can lead to shock, short circuits, or fire. This is a particular concern in our coastal area with heavy rains and storm surges. Do not use the outlet. Cavanagh Electric can promptly inspect the damage, safely repair or replace the affected outlet and wiring, and identify the source of the moisture to help prevent future issues. We often recommend upgrading to weather-resistant (WR) outlets and GFCI protection in vulnerable areas for added safety.
