A professional inspection is crucial after a surge. We don't just check for immediate appliance damage; we trace the surge's path through your wiring and panel to identify weakened circuits, compromised breakers, or grounding issues that could cause future failures or fires. Our inspection ensures your system is safe to continue using and recommends protective upgrades like surge protectors.

Water and electricity are a dangerous mix. Signs include rust, corrosion, a burning smell, or breakers that frequently trip. Do not use the system until it's checked. Our inspection will assess the extent of water damage to the panel, wiring, and components. We'll determine if parts can be safely cleaned and dried or if a full panel replacement is necessary to prevent shock or fire hazards.

We recommend a professional inspection every 5-10 years for older homes, or before a major renovation. Given local issues like aging infrastructure and weather-related water risks, an inspection is also wise after any major storm, flood, or if you're adding high-demand appliances. It's a proactive step that can identify small problems before they become the kind of expensive, dangerous emergencies we often see in the area.
