We'll check all outlets for signs of overheating, test the capacity of your circuits to prevent overloads, and assess the condition of wiring, including any underground service cables that may have been damaged by soil conditions or excavation. This gives you a complete picture of your home's electrical health.

An overheated outlet is a serious warning sign and should not be ignored. It often indicates an overloaded circuit, loose wiring, or a failing outlet—all common issues we see in Charleston.

Absolutely. Damaged underground cables are a frequent concern, especially after landscaping or due to aging infrastructure. While a full diagnostic might require specialized equipment, our inspection includes checking your main service panel for faults that point to underground issues and assessing the entry point of the cable into your home. We can then recommend the best course of action for repair or replacement.
