Dad Patchen Electric | Local Electrical Contractor in Oregon, OH

A professional inspection after a storm outage checks for hidden damage like frayed wires, compromised breakers, or moisture in your panel. This is crucial in Oregon, where power surges and water intrusion are common, to prevent future failures and ensure your system is safe to restore power to.

Our lakefront climate can lead to dampness and storms driving moisture into exterior walls. Water in outlets is a serious shock and fire hazard. Our inspection identifies affected outlets and wiring. We then replace damaged components with weather-resistant options and recommend preventative measures like GFCI upgrades.

We focus on local risk factors: checking for corrosion from moisture, testing GFCI outlets in wet areas like basements and garages, assessing the main panel for surge damage, and ensuring all outdoor connections and conduits are properly sealed against Oregon's wind and rain.
