Petty Electric & Building - Emporia's Trusted Electrical Contractor

Our thorough electrical inspection specifically checks for signs of moisture intrusion and tests all GFCI outlets, which are your first line of defense. We identify outlets in vulnerable locations, ensure proper seals and covers are installed, and verify that your GFCI protection is functioning correctly to trip before a dangerous shock or short circuit can occur, protecting both your family and your home's wiring.

In our area, frequent GFCI issues are often caused by humidity and moisture seeping into the outlet or the connected circuit. A professional inspection from our team can pinpoint the exact cause—whether it's a faulty outlet, underlying moisture, or a wiring problem—and we provide a permanent repair. Often, replacing a compromised outlet with a new, weather-resistant model solves the problem and restores safety.

Safety first: Do not touch the outlet. Immediately turn off the power to that circuit at your breaker panel. Then, contact Petty Electric & Building. Our electricians will safely inspect the outlet and the surrounding wiring for damage, perform any necessary repairs or replacements, and can install weatherproof covers or recommend relocation to prevent future issues, ensuring your home meets local safety standards.
