Hastings Hdsn Electrician | Electrical Inspections & Repairs | Desouza Electric

Absolutely. A comprehensive electrical inspection from Desouza Electric includes checking attics, basements, and crawl spaces for signs of rodent activity. We look for chewed wire insulation, nesting materials near electrical panels, and compromised connections—common issues in our area that pose serious fire risks. Identifying and repairing this damage is a key part of keeping your home safe.

Water and electricity are a dangerous mix. During an inspection for a water-damaged outlet, we will safely shut off power to the circuit, remove the outlet to inspect for corrosion on the wires and terminals, check the wiring inside the wall for moisture damage, and ensure the wall box itself is intact. We'll replace all affected components with new, GFCI-protected outlets where required by code to prevent shock hazards.

Older homes often have aging wiring systems that may not meet modern safety standards and can be more vulnerable to the local issues we see, like moisture seepage and pests. Our inspection assesses the entire system—from the main panel to individual circuits—for wear, outdated components (like knob-and-tube wiring), and inadequate grounding. This proactive check helps prevent unexpected outages and protects your family and property.
