Our licensed electricians conduct a comprehensive inspection that includes specifically testing your home's grounding system. Using specialized equipment, we measure the electrical resistance to the earth at your service panel and outlets. This allows us to identify if your grounding rods are insufficient, corroded, or improperly installed—common issues in our area that can lead to appliance damage and safety hazards. We provide a clear report and recommendations to bring your system up to current safety codes.

Great question. While it might seem unrelated, a power surge can damage modern plumbing components with electronic controls, like tankless water heaters, well pumps, and smart valves. Our plumbing inspection post-storm includes testing these devices for proper operation and checking for error codes. We also inspect water lines for potential electrolysis, which can be accelerated by stray electrical currents from grounding issues. This proactive check can prevent unexpected failures and water damage.

In Belvidere, intense storms can cause widespread electrical issues that have a cascading effect. A surge can instantly fry electrical panels and appliances, but it can also send damaging currents through water pipes and gas lines if bonding is compromised. Our dual-inspection approach ensures we identify all points of failure. We check the electrical system for damaged breakers and wiring while simultaneously ensuring your plumbing's bonding and grounding are intact to protect your entire home from future surges and corrosion.
