Electrical Contractor Falls Church VA | Call Lewis Companies

Our licensed electricians perform a thorough assessment of your home's electrical system. This includes checking your main panel, outlets, switches, and wiring for safety and code compliance. We pay special attention to common local issues, such as arc fault circuit interrupters (AFCIs) that may trip frequently due to aging wiring or appliance interference, and we can diagnose problems related to damaged underground service cables that affect some neighborhoods. The inspection provides a clear report on any immediate hazards and recommendations for upgrades or repairs to ensure your system is reliable and safe.

A professional plumbing inspection is a proactive way to prevent costly emergencies. Our plumbers examine your pipes, fixtures, water heater, sump pump, and drainage systems for leaks, corrosion, blockages, and efficiency. In older homes common to the area, we often find aging galvanized pipes or slow drains that need attention. Identifying these issues early through an inspection can help you plan repairs, improve water pressure, prevent water damage, and ensure your system is ready for all seasons. We also check that emergency shut-off valves are accessible and functioning properly.

Yes, frequent arc fault breaker trips are a common electrical issue we see in Falls Church and Northern Virginia. These safety devices are sensitive and can trip due to normal appliance arcs (like from a vacuum), damaged wiring behind walls, or overloaded circuits. Our electricians are experts in diagnosing the root cause. We'll systematically test your circuits and appliances to determine if it's a simple fix, like redistributing your electrical load, or if it indicates a more serious wiring issue that needs repair. Resolving this not only restores convenience but, more importantly, addresses a potential fire hazard in your home.
