An overheated outlet is often a sign of a dangerous underlying issue, such as loose wiring, an overloaded circuit, or a failing connection. In our humid coastal climate, corrosion can also accelerate these problems. Our electrical inspection will locate the specific cause of the overheating, check for any fire hazards, and provide a clear plan to repair it safely, protecting your home from a potential electrical fire.

Absolutely. Water and electricity are a dangerous mix. Our thorough inspection includes checking all outdoor, garage, bathroom, and kitchen outlets and fixtures for signs of moisture damage, corrosion, or compromised GFCI protection. We identify outlets that may have been affected by storms, humidity, or leaks, ensuring they are safe to use or properly replaced to prevent shock hazards.

We recommend a professional electrical inspection every 3-5 years for older homes, or before purchasing a property. Given our local issues with humidity, salt air, and occasional severe weather, more frequent checks (e.g., after a major storm) are wise. An inspection is also crucial if you're adding major appliances or notice any warning signs like flickering lights, buzzing sounds, or those warm outlets.
