Calumet Electrician & HVAC Pros | Hicks Electric Service

Yes, absolutely. During an electrical inspection, we specifically check outdoor outlets for signs of moisture damage, corrosion, and proper GFCI protection. Catching these issues early prevents more extensive damage, reduces the risk of shock, and ensures your outdoor power sources remain safe and usable, which is crucial given our local weather conditions.

First, check with neighbors to see if the outage is widespread. If it's isolated to your home, check your main electrical panel for tripped breakers. If breakers are tripped and won't reset, or if you notice any burning smells, sparks, or damaged wiring, do not attempt to fix it yourself. Call us immediately for a safety inspection to prevent fire hazards and ensure your system is properly restored.

As a full-service contractor, we offer plumbing inspections because many home systems are interconnected. For instance, a leaking pipe near an electrical outlet or junction box creates a serious shock and short-circuit risk. Our combined expertise allows us to assess these cross-system hazards comprehensively, ensuring both your plumbing and electrical systems are safe, which is especially important in older homes common to our area.
