St. Louis Electrician | Electrical Inspections & Repair | Midwest Electric

A standard visual inspection may not uncover hidden underground cable damage, which is a common issue in our area due to soil conditions and aging infrastructure. At Midwest Electric, our comprehensive electrical inspections utilize specialized equipment like cable locators and fault detectors to identify problems with underground lines before they cause a complete power failure or become a safety hazard. This proactive approach is crucial for St. Louis homeowners.

This is a frequent issue we see in the St. Louis area and is often related to the generator transfer switch. This critical component automatically switches your home's power source from the utility grid to your generator. If it's malfunctioning, incorrectly installed, or hasn't been maintained, the connection fails. Our electricians specialize in diagnosing and repairing transfer switch issues to ensure your backup power system works reliably when severe weather or grid issues cause an outage.

Signs include intermittent power loss, flickering lights, frequently tripping breakers, or a burning smell near the foundation or where the line enters your home. These faults can be caused by corrosion, ground settling, or accidental digging. If you notice any of these issues, it's important to contact a professional like Midwest Electric immediately. We can perform a diagnostic inspection to locate the exact point of failure and perform a safe, lasting repair to restore stable power to your home.
