Damaged or faulty wiring is a serious safety hazard. Whether it’s from age, damage, rodents, or other causes, bad wiring needs to be fixed immediately. We repair wiring problems throughout your home, from individual circuits to whole-house rewiring when necessary.

Wiring problems show up in different ways. Maybe circuits keep tripping, outlets don’t work, lights flicker, or you smell burning. These are all signs that something’s wrong with the wiring. We’ll trace the problem, identify the damaged section, and repair or replace it properly. We won’t just patch it—we’ll fix it right.

Older homes often have wiring that’s past its useful life. Knob-and-tube wiring, old cloth-wrapped wire, or aluminum wiring can all cause problems. We’ll assess the condition of your wiring and recommend repairs or replacement based on what we find. Sometimes it’s just a section that needs fixing. Other times, a full rewiring is the safest option.

Technical Specifications

Wiring repair requires identifying the fault through systematic testing, including continuity testing, insulation resistance testing, and voltage testing. We locate damaged sections, verify proper wire gauge and type, and ensure repairs maintain circuit integrity. Repairs involve proper wire splicing using approved methods (wire nuts, crimp connectors, or Wago-style connectors) contained within accessible junction boxes, ensuring all connections are secure and meet NEC Article 300 requirements. We verify proper wire gauge continuity, ensure adequate box volume for wire fill, maintain proper grounding continuity, and verify proper overcurrent protection. We check for signs of overheating, verify proper wire routing and support, ensure adequate clearances, and test circuit operation after repair. All repairs comply with NEC requirements for the wire type and installation method.
