LD Electric | Emergency Electricians in Des Moines, IA

Our licensed electricians perform thorough inspections, paying special attention to attics, basements, and crawlspaces where rodents often nest and chew on wiring insulation. We identify exposed or damaged wires that pose a serious fire hazard, which is a common issue in our area. By finding and repairing this damage early, we can prevent potential shorts, outages, or dangerous electrical fires in your home.

First, check if your neighbors have power. If it's isolated to your home, inspect your home's exterior for visible damage to the meter or service mast. Then, check your main electrical panel. If breakers are tripped, you can safely reset them. If power doesn't return or you smell burning, it's crucial to call a professional like LD Electric immediately. We can perform a safety inspection to diagnose storm-related damage, such as water intrusion or surges, to get your power safely restored.

We specifically look for signs of aging wiring, improper past repairs, and rodent damage—common issues in older structures. This expert assessment gives you peace of mind and can be a valuable tool in negotiations, ensuring you understand any needed repairs for safety and modern living.
