Q&A

How can an electrical inspection in Reno help prevent underground cable damage?

Our electrical inspections include specialized testing to assess the integrity of your underground service lines. We look for signs of corrosion, wear from soil shifting, or rodent damage that are common in our area. Identifying weak points early allows us to recommend repairs or reinforcements before a complete failure occurs, preventing a costly and disruptive trenching project to replace a damaged cable.

Why is attic wiring a common source of short circuits in Reno homes, and how does your inspection address it?

Reno's hot summers and temperature swings can cause attic wiring insulation to become brittle and crack over time. During our inspection, we thoroughly examine attic wiring for this deterioration, along with signs of overheating at connections or improper past modifications. We ensure wiring is properly secured and rated for the attic's high temperatures, significantly reducing the risk of a short circuit or fire hazard.

What should I do if I suspect a problem with my underground cables or attic wiring?

If you're experiencing flickering lights, frequent breaker trips, or burning smells, contact Washoe Electric immediately. Our emergency electricians can perform a targeted inspection to locate the source—whether it's in the attic or along the underground feed. We'll diagnose the issue safely and provide a clear plan to fix it, restoring power and peace of mind to your Reno home.
