Midwest Iowa Contractors | Reliable Electrical Contractor in Des Moines, IA

We prioritize safety by relocating outlets away from direct water sources like showers and sinks, installing GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlets as required by code, and using waterproof boxes and covers. For any existing wiring, we inspect for signs of the corrosion common in our area and replace compromised components to prevent future hazards.

For deck construction and outdoor additions, we use weatherproof, corrosion-resistant electrical boxes and conduit specifically rated for wet locations. All outdoor circuits are protected by GFCI breakers. We also ensure proper sealing and grading to divert water away from connections, directly addressing the moisture issues we often see with exterior meters and boxes in Des Moines.

Absolutely. During any plumbing-related service, like a sump pump installation or inspection, we proactively check nearby electrical panels, subpanels, and outlets for signs of moisture intrusion or corrosion. This integrated approach is crucial in our climate, as it allows us to catch and resolve interconnected water and electrical issues before they become major safety concerns.
