Schnabel Electric | Experienced Electrical Services in Mitchell, SD

Yes, absolutely. During a comprehensive electrical inspection, our licensed electricians carefully examine all accessible wiring, the main electrical panel, and the meter base—common areas where rodents chew insulation or where moisture leads to corrosion. Identifying this localized damage early is key to preventing short circuits, power failures, or potential fire hazards.

We specifically check for signs of corrosion, loose connections, and weather-related wear on your meter base and service entrance. Corrosion from moisture and temperature swings can compromise safety and efficiency. Our inspection will assess its condition and recommend any necessary repairs or protective measures to ensure reliable service to your Mitchell home.

First, we safely de-energize the affected circuit. Then, we remove the damaged section of wiring, replace it with new, code-compliant wire, and secure all connections. We also help identify and seal potential entry points to deter future pests, providing a complete solution to protect your home's electrical system.
