Question Answers

Can an electrical inspection find rodent damage in my Defiance home's wiring?

Absolutely. A comprehensive electrical inspection from Wilwerding Electric is specifically designed to uncover hidden issues like rodent-chewed insulation and nesting materials within walls and attics—common problems in our area. We'll identify any compromised circuits that pose a fire or shock hazard and provide a clear repair plan to make your home safe again.

My arc fault breaker trips frequently. Will an inspection tell me if it's faulty or if there's a wiring problem?

Yes, that's a primary goal of our inspection service. Nuisance trips are often a sign of a sensitive AFCI doing its job, detecting dangerous arc faults, or it could indicate a minor wiring issue. Our electricians will test the breaker and the associated circuit to diagnose the root cause—whether it's a failing appliance, a loose connection, or damaged wire—and recommend the safest, most effective solution for your home.

After finding rodent damage or an arc fault, what does the repair process involve?

First, we secure the affected circuit for safety. For rodent damage, we carefully remove the compromised wiring section and replace it with new, code-compliant cable, often adding protective conduit if needed. For persistent arc faults, we repair the specific fault point—like a damaged wire or loose connection—or replace the AFCI breaker if it's defective. Our priority is a permanent fix that meets all safety standards and prevents future problems.
