Tomahawk Electrician | Electrical Inspection & Rodent Damage Repair | Myre 2 Myre Electric

Our detailed electrical inspections specifically check for signs of rodent activity and damage, which is a frequent issue in our area. We look for chewed wire insulation in attics, basements, and crawl spaces—common entry points for pests. Identifying this damage early is crucial, as exposed wires can lead to short circuits, power outages, or even electrical fires. We can then safely repair the damage and recommend preventative measures to protect your wiring.

Arc fault circuit interrupters (AFCIs) are sensitive safety devices that can trip due to minor, hidden issues like damaged wire insulation (often from rodents or aging), loose connections, or even certain appliances. During our inspection, we methodically test the affected circuits, examine wiring for damage, and check all connections. In the Tomahawk area, we frequently find the cause to be wildlife-related wire damage or moisture in outdoor/garage circuits. We pinpoint the exact source so it can be properly repaired, restoring reliable operation to your breakers.

Common signs include flickering lights, outlets or switches that stop working, a burning smell, or frequent breaker trips without an obvious cause. You might also hear scratching in walls or see rodent droppings near electrical panels or in storage areas. If you notice any of these warning signs, it's important to call a professional like Myre 2 Myre Electric right away. We can perform a safety inspection to assess any damage and make the necessary repairs to prevent a hazardous situation.
