Electrical Issues Caused by Water

Bent Electrical Mast or Damaged Weather Head

If there’s a tree near your electrical lines, branches can break during heavy rains and fall on the electric lines going to your house. You may still have power, but if the pole is bent, you need to turn off the power and call a licensed electrician. The last thing you want is a member of your household getting electrocuted or a fire hazard. Our technicians use industry-standard equipment to raise the pole and prevent the wires from contacting the surface. It would help if you didn’t attempt DIY repairs without the knowledge or skills needed, as the slightest error can cause devastating damage.

Flooded Electrical Outlets

Nothing is more frustrating than a flooded garage or home after heavy rains. Many people usually start with water removal to mitigate further deterioration and property damage, but there’s a lot of damage than you think. If water seeps into your electrical outlets, it can cause malfunctions and electrocutions. Check for burn marks and odors when you plug in a device, and schedule an inspection with an electrician. We can determine the severity of the problem and recommend viable solutions to prevent safety hazards.

Tripping Hazards

Winter poses several challenges for electrical systems. Christmas decorations, heating systems, portable heaters, and other devices overwhelm your home’s electrical infrastructure. Frequent trips are a sign these devices are placing a tremendous strain on your system, increasing the risk of a fire hazard or, worse, a blackout. Besides the cold and harsh weather, frequently tripping circuit breakers require the expertise of an electrical repair service in Irving. In case of irreversible water damage, we can recommend a circuit breaker replacement or an upgrade to enhance performance.
