Q&A

How can I tell if rodents have damaged the wiring in my Columbia home?

Common signs include flickering lights, outlets that stop working, a burning smell near walls, or frequent circuit breaker trips. Rodents in our area often chew on insulation, creating fire hazards and shorts. If you suspect this, it's crucial to call a professional for an electrical inspection and repair immediately to prevent further damage or risk.

My outdoor lights or outlets aren't working. Could this be a damaged underground cable?

Yes, it's a possibility in Columbia. Soil shifts, corrosion, or excavation work can damage underground cables powering outdoor fixtures. Our electricians can perform diagnostic testing to locate the fault. We then repair or replace the damaged section, ensuring your outdoor electrical systems are safely restored and properly protected.

Can you help prevent future electrical problems from local rodents or underground issues?

Absolutely. For rodent issues, we can recommend and install rodent-deterrent materials around wiring entry points and in your attic. To safeguard against underground cable problems, we ensure all exterior conduits and connections are properly sealed and rated for burial. A proactive electrical panel inspection can also identify vulnerabilities before they cause a failure.
