Maher's Empire Electric: Experienced Electrical Contractor Serving Texarkana 75503

Absolutely. During a professional electrical inspection, our licensed electricians thoroughly examine your home's wiring, including in attics, crawl spaces, and behind walls—common areas where rodents nest. We look for tell-tale signs of gnawing, nesting materials near wires, and other damage that can create short circuits or fire hazards. Finding and repairing these issues early is the best way to prevent a costly or dangerous electrical failure in your Texarkana home.

Our inspections include evaluating your home's entire electrical system, including the main service panel and existing surge protection. We check for proper grounding and identify if your system is vulnerable to surges from the grid or major appliances cycling on and off. Based on our findings, we can recommend and install whole-house surge protectors, which are the most effective defense for safeguarding all your home's electronics and major appliances from damaging voltage spikes common in our area.

Yes, we strongly recommend it. Rodents often chew on wiring insulation without immediately severing the conductive wire inside. This creates exposed, live wires that pose a serious shock and fire risk, often hidden behind walls. An inspection is a critical safety step after any known rodent activity. Our electricians can identify this compromised wiring that still 'works' but is dangerously unsafe, allowing us to make repairs before a spark ignites nesting materials or causes an electrical fire in your home.
