MB Electrical | Professional Electrical Services in Philadelphia, PA

Our inspections include a detailed visual check of accessible wiring, attics, and basements—common entry points for rodents in Philly rowhomes. We look for telltale signs like gnaw marks on wire insulation, nesting materials near electrical boxes, or unexplained tripping breakers, which can indicate compromised wiring that needs immediate repair to prevent fire hazards.

Many historic Philadelphia homes have aging electrical systems where connections in outlets, switches, and panels can loosen over time due to thermal cycling and vibration. This creates arcing and overheating risks. Our inspection methodically tests and tightens these connections, identifies outdated components, and ensures your system, identifying loose terminals and recommending secure upgrades to ensure your home's safety.

First, ensure safety by avoiding the affected area and not overloading circuits. Listen for scratching in walls or notice flickering lights—common local signs. Then, contact MB Electrical promptly. We'll schedule a thorough inspection to assess the damage, provide a clear repair plan, and help you prevent future issues with solutions tailored to Philadelphia's older housing stock.
