Local Electrician & Plumber in Tupper Lake, NY | Lewis Plumbing & Electric

Our comprehensive electrical inspection specifically checks for the effects of moisture and humidity common in our area. We'll test all your outlets, especially in kitchens, bathrooms, and basements, for signs of water intrusion or corrosion. We also verify that your grounding system is fully functional, which is critical for safety if water does come into contact with wiring. This proactive check can prevent dangerous shocks and electrical fires.

If you notice outlets or switches near sinks, toilets, or water heaters that are warm, discolored, or intermittently working, it could signal a dangerous cross-connection with plumbing leaks. Similarly, if your GFCI outlets near water sources trip frequently, it's a warning sign. Our combined plumbing and electrical inspection will trace these issues to their source, ensuring your systems are isolated and safe, preventing hazards like improper grounding due to pipe corrosion.

Many older Adirondack homes were wired before modern safety codes. An improper or missing grounding system means that if a live wire touches a metal pipe or fixture (which can happen with age and moisture), the entire plumbing system could become electrified, posing a severe shock risk. Our inspection verifies that your home's electrical system is properly grounded, not relying on older water pipes, and we install or upgrade grounding rods to current safety standards.
