Fike Electric | Experienced Electrical Contractor in New Hampton, IA

Rodents, common in our rural area, often chew through wiring in attics, basements, and sheds, creating serious fire hazards. Our detailed electrical inspection specifically checks for this damage—looking for exposed copper, gnawed insulation, and nesting near your electrical panel. We identify compromised circuits so they can be safely repaired, preventing potential outages or dangerous sparks before they start.

Given Iowa's freeze-thaw cycles, underground cables can become damaged or degraded over time. During our inspection, we check for voltage drops, test insulation resistance, and assess the overall integrity of the underground feed to your home. We look for signs of failure that could lead to intermittent power or a complete outage, which is especially crucial for homes with wells or septic systems that rely on consistent power.

Many older homes in our community have wiring that wasn't designed for today's electrical demands and may be more vulnerable to local issues like rodent intrusion or moisture. Our inspection evaluates your entire system—from the panel and grounding to outlets and wiring—for safety, capacity, and code compliance. It's the best way to uncover hidden problems common in our area and get a clear plan to modernize your electrical system safely.
