Questions and Answers
How can an electrical inspection from Savage Miles help with my overheated outlets in Philadelphia?
Overheated outlets are often a sign of overloaded circuits, loose wiring, or faulty connections—common issues in older Philly homes. Our thorough electrical inspection pinpoints the exact cause, whether it's in the outlet itself or deeper in your home's wiring. We then provide a clear, expert repair plan to eliminate the fire hazard and ensure your electrical system is safe and up to current code.
I have water near an outlet after a heavy rain. What should I do, and how can you help?
Water intrusion into outlets is a serious shock and fire hazard. First, avoid using the outlet and turn off power to that circuit at your breaker if it's safe to do so. Contact Savage Miles immediately. Our inspection will determine the source of the water—whether it's a masonry leak, failed sealant, or another issue—and our combined electrical and masonry expertise allows us to both repair the water entry point and safely replace or repair any damaged electrical components.

Our inspection is tailored to the common layouts and aging infrastructure of Philly row homes.
