Local Electrical Contractor in Augusta, GA 30906 - Gaylor Electric

Our inspections specifically check exterior outlets for early signs of corrosion, which is common here due to humidity and weather. We test for proper weatherproofing, GFCI protection, and integrity of the housing. If we find issues, we can recommend and install upgraded, corrosion-resistant outlets or enclosures to prevent moisture damage and ensure safe outdoor power for years to come.

Many older homes in the Augusta area were built before modern electrical codes, leading to inadequate or missing grounding systems. This is a serious safety risk. Our inspection includes testing your home's grounding at the panel and key outlets. We identify if your system is improperly grounded or ungrounded, which can lead to appliance damage, electrical shock, and fire hazards, especially during our frequent thunderstorms.

For outdoor outlets, watch for discoloration, rust, sparks, or outlets that stop working after rain. For grounding issues, signs include frequent breaker trips, tingling sensations from appliances, or two-prong outlets throughout the house. If you notice any of these, it's time for a professional inspection. We can pinpoint the exact cause, whether it's corrosion, faulty grounding, or both, and provide a safe, permanent fix.
