When your home or business has been flooded by storms, it is important to have your electrical inspected. Our electrical inspectors will help you determine if your home or business is safe after Mother Nature storms in. In the meantime, it is important to follow these guidelines.
- Do not turn on damaged electrical appliances as they can shock you or overheat causing fires
- Do not flip switches.
- Do not use generators inside. If you are using them outside, make sure you are not using them near an open window, door or vent as they do emit carbon monoxide into the air.
- If electrical devices have been under water, it is important to throw them away, including breakers, fuses, plugs and more.
