Starboard Electric - Avon's Reliable Electrical Contractor

In the Rocky Mountain region, soil composition and freezing cycles can compromise grounding rods over time. An improper grounding system is a major safety risk, failing to safely divert electrical surges. Our inspection specifically tests your home's grounding to ensure it meets code, protecting you from shock hazards and preventing damage to sensitive electronics from lightning or power fluctuations common in our area.

Absolutely. During our inspection, we thoroughly examine accessible wiring in attics, crawl spaces, and behind walls—common entry points for rodents in Avon. We look for telltale signs like chewed insulation, nesting materials, and gnaw marks on wires, which pose a serious fire risk. Identifying and repairing this damage is a key part of making your home safe.

First, we safely de-energize the affected circuit. Then, we remove the damaged section of wire and splice in a new, code-compliant segment, securing it within a junction box. Crucially, we'll also discuss preventative measures, like sealing entry points and considering rodent-deterrent options, to help protect the repair and your entire electrical system from future damage.
