Thomas Supply Company | Experienced Electrical Contractor in Myrtle Beach, SC

Our electrical inspections specifically check for signs of moisture damage and compromised safety. We'll test your outlets for proper grounding, look for corrosion inside the boxes, and assess if water-resistant (WR) or Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) outlets are needed, especially in vulnerable areas. This proactive approach identifies risks before they lead to short circuits or electrical fires common in our coastal climate.

The salty, humid air in Myrtle Beach accelerates corrosion on standard outdoor outlets. During our inspection, we evaluate the condition of all outdoor receptacles, covers, and wiring. We recommend and can install corrosion-resistant, in-use weatherproof covers and upgraded outlets designed for marine environments. This not only extends their lifespan but is a crucial safety measure to prevent shock hazards.

We focus on coastal-specific risks: checking for correct GFCI protection in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoors; ensuring all exterior outlets have proper weatherproof covers; inspecting for any discoloration, rust, or buzzing in outlets (signs of water damage); and verifying the integrity of the grounding system, which is vital for safety in damp conditions. Our report gives you a clear action plan to secure your home.
