Drewer Scottl & Sons: Professional Electrical Company Serving Crisfield 21817

Many of Crisfield's beautiful older homes have original wiring that wasn't designed for today's high electrical loads. Over time, insulation degrades, connections loosen, and grounding systems—if they exist at all—can become ineffective. Our inspection focuses on identifying these exact risks, like improper grounding and worn components prone to short circuits, to prevent electrical fires and ensure your family's safety.

A proper grounding system is your home's first defense against shocks and surges. During our inspection, we meticulously test outlets, the main service panel, and the grounding electrode system to ensure they are correctly installed and bonded. We often find older systems missing ground wires or using outdated methods. Identifying and correcting these issues is crucial for protecting both your appliances and your loved ones from electrical hazards common in our area.

Absolutely. Short circuits often occur due to damaged wire insulation, overloaded circuits, or faulty devices—all common in aging systems. Our expert inspection involves thermal imaging and circuit testing to pinpoint hotspots, overloaded breakers, and damaged wiring hidden behind walls. By locating these potential failure points, we can recommend targeted repairs to eliminate the risk of a short circuit, preventing damage to your home's electrical system and avoiding unexpected power outages.
