Mattox Electric Services - Columbia's Licensed Electrical Company

Frequent GFCI failures in Columbia are often caused by underlying issues like moisture, circuit overloads, or aging wiring. Our comprehensive electrical inspection goes beyond a simple reset. We'll test the entire circuit, identify the root cause—whether it's a faulty outlet, a problem in the breaker panel, or wiring compromised by our humid climate—and provide a lasting repair to restore safe, reliable protection against shocks.

Absolutely. Rodents chewing on wiring in attics and walls is a common problem in our area and a leading cause of flickering lights, short circuits, and fire hazards. Our detailed inspection includes checking accessible wiring in crawl spaces, attics, and behind panels for signs of gnawing, nesting, or damage. We identify compromised wires before they fail completely, allowing us to make targeted repairs that eliminate the danger and restore full power safety.

Rodent damage isn't just about one chewed wire; it's a system-wide vulnerability. A local electrician like Mattox understands the common entry points and nesting habits of pests in the Midlands. We don't just patch—we inspect the entire affected circuit for hidden damage, ensure the repair meets code for safety, and can recommend preventive measures like sealing entry points to protect your home from future infestations and electrical hazards.
