Absolutely. During a comprehensive inspection, our electricians specifically look for signs of pest activity, such as chewed insulation or nesting materials in attics, basements, and behind walls—common issues in our area. Identifying and repairing this damage is crucial to prevent short circuits and fire hazards.

While it could be a simple bulb, persistent flickering in Pittsburgh homes often points to a deeper problem like a loose connection, an overloaded circuit, or the early stages of rodent-damaged wiring. We recommend an inspection to rule out these safety risks, which are common with older local electrical systems.

As a licensed general contractor and electrician, we inspect the electrical system in the context of your entire Pittsburgh property. We assess how wiring integrates with the structure, identify points where pests may enter and cause damage, and provide repair solutions that consider both the electrical work and any necessary minor construction, like sealing entry points.
