Storm surges can send water into your home's electrical system, causing severe damage and safety hazards. We recommend a proactive approach, which often includes installing your main electrical panel and circuit breakers in an elevated location, using waterproof enclosures, and ensuring proper grounding. Our team at Tangent Cable Systems can perform a detailed inspection and recommend specific upgrades, like generator installation, to keep your power safe and reliable during severe coastal weather common to our area.

Constant outdoor lighting failures in Wilmington are often due to circuit corrosion from our humid, salty coastal air. Temporary repairs usually don't last.

Then, contact a professional immediately for an emergency electric inspection.
