Hollingsworth Electric: Certified Electrical Contractor Serving Washington 61571

Water intrusion into electrical boxes is a common issue here, especially after heavy rains or in basements. Our inspection includes a thorough check of all exterior, garage, and basement panels for signs of corrosion, moisture, and compromised wiring. We identify the source of the leak if possible and recommend necessary repairs or upgrades—like installing a weatherproof enclosure or relocating the box—to prevent short circuits, fires, and ensure your system is safe.

Absolutely. Flickering lights often point to underlying problems like loose connections, outdated wiring, or an overloaded circuit—issues we see frequently in older Washington homes. During our inspection, we systematically test circuits, tighten connections at the panel and fixtures, and assess your home's overall electrical load. This allows us to pinpoint the exact cause, whether it's a simple fix or a sign of a more serious wiring issue that needs attention.

Our Washington-focused inspections go beyond a standard checklist. We pay special attention to local trouble spots: we check for moisture and corrosion in panels (common due to our weather), test for voltage drops that cause flickering lights, inspect for outdated wiring like aluminum or knob-and-tube that may be present in older homes, and ensure outdoor and sump pump circuits are properly protected. The goal is to give you a clear picture of your system's safety and reliability specific to our community's needs.
