Electric Company of Greater Des Moines: Emergency Electrical Company Serving Johnston 50131

Our comprehensive electrical inspections include a visual assessment of accessible wiring in attics, basements, and crawl spaces—common entry points for rodents in the Johnston area. We look for telltale signs like chewed insulation, nesting materials, and gnaw marks on cables. Identifying this damage early is crucial, as exposed wires can lead to short circuits, power outages, and even fire hazards. We then safely repair or replace the compromised wiring to restore safety to your home.

Improper DIY electrical work is a frequent and serious safety issue we see in Des Moines-area homes. Even small mistakes, like loose connections, incorrect wire sizing, or overloaded circuits, can create overheating and fire risks that aren't immediately obvious. Our professional inspection will evaluate the work against National Electrical Code standards, ensuring everything is safely installed and properly grounded. It's a smart, neighborly step to protect your family and property from potential danger.

For older homes, our inspection is particularly thorough. We check the main service panel for sufficient capacity and safety, examine wiring for aging or outdated materials (like knob-and-tube), and assess all outlets for proper grounding—a common deficiency. We also pay special attention to areas vulnerable to pests. The goal is to provide you with a clear, prioritized report on any safety issues, efficiency improvements, or necessary updates to bring your electrical system up to modern, safe standards.
