Case Study: Ellicott City Electrical Repair and Restoration After Water Damage

This service call involved addressing significant electrical damage caused by a burst pipe in a resident's garage. Upon arrival, the homeowner explained that a frozen pipe had burst, and the water had traveled through the garage, damaging several electrical components along the way.

Our technician assessed the situation and found that the water had severely damaged the light and garage door opener outlets. The wiring in the affected areas was compromised, and the circuit needed to be extended. We began by carefully cutting back the damaged wiring and restapling any sections that were accessible and unaffected by the water.

To restore proper functionality and safety, the following steps were taken:

• • Removed the water-damaged receptacle, keyless fixture, and electrical boxes.
  • Cut the wiring back to a point where it was still intact and unaffected by the water damage.
  • Installed a new single-gang nail-on box for the garage door opener outlet and replaced the damaged receptacle with a new TR receptacle.
  • Replaced the old nail-on 8B box, installing a new one where the wiring was unaffected by the water, and wired in a new keyless fixture.
  • Upgraded the garage circuit by installing a Cutler Hammer GFCI/AFCI combo breaker for proper safety coverage.

With the new wiring in place and the circuit properly protected, the garage's electrical system was restored to full functionality, ensuring safety and reliable power moving forward. This case highlights the importance of addressing water damage quickly to avoid further issues with the electrical system.

Case Study: Home Lighting and Ceiling Fan Upgrades for an Ellicott City Home

This electrical upgrade project in a local city focused on enhancing both the lighting and ceiling fans throughout the home. The homeowner wanted to modernize their living spaces with recessed lighting, improve the functionality of ceiling fans, and make a few adjustments to optimize room layouts.

Our technician began by addressing the lighting needs. In both the living room and family room, we installed six new recessed lights in each area. The switch-controlled outlets in both rooms were converted to constant hot, and the recessed lights were wired to new dimmer switches, allowing the homeowner to control the ambiance and light intensity in each space.

In the bedrooms, the project included the following ceiling fan upgrades:

• • The ceiling fan in the master bedroom was removed and replaced with a new customer-supplied, ceiling fan.
  • Similarly, the ceiling fan in the first upstairs bedroom was removed and replaced with a new customer-supplied ceiling fan.
  • The second upstairs bedroom also had its ceiling fan replaced with a new customer-supplied model. Additionally, the fan was moved two feet to the center of the room for better alignment and air circulation.
  • Finally, a new ceiling fan was installed in the hallway room, which was wired from the attic and controlled by a switch. The homeowner provided the new ceiling fan, and we handled all the necessary wiring to ensure safe and efficient operation.

This project was a comprehensive upgrade that brought improved lighting control and comfort to the entire home. It reflects our commitment to delivering high-quality electrical solutions that enhance both functionality and style.

This electrical service call focused on resolving issues with the wiring for a garbage disposal and kitchen recessed lights.

Our technician first addressed the wiring problem at the garbage disposal switch. After making the necessary repairs, we also relocated the customer-supplied dimmer switch to improve accessibility and functionality.

Despite these fixes, if the garbage disposal continues to trip the breaker, we recommended replacing the existing breaker and having the disposal inspected by a qualified technician. This would ensure that the issue is fully resolved and that the system is functioning safely.

Additionally, we performed a thorough check on the wiring for the kitchen’s recessed lights to ensure everything was properly connected and up to code. With the repairs completed and recommendations in place, the homeowner’s kitchen electrical system was restored to optimal performance.

This case highlights our dedication to providing tailored solutions and ensuring that every part of the home’s electrical system is safe and functional.

Today we looked at the basement wiring. There’s no framing to be able to provide pricing to correct the wiring at the basement at this time. However, once framing is up, we will need to do a complete rewire as all of the boxes are completely rusted out and the wire that is there was installed in the 70s and is a style of wire that we cannot put back in place. Being that the basement ceiling and walls are all open. The wires that are there will also not be long enough to make it to the new locations. Once frame is installed, we can return to provide pricing for new wiring for the basement receptacles and lighting.

Replace exterior receptacle on back of home. Replace wireless doorbell system Covert 2 lamp fluorescent fixture to LED and remove ballast The reason for today’s visit was to check a back receptacle that was not working after they had the house washed. They also had a fluorescent light that was not working in the basement and requested to have the wireless doorbell system replaced as the old one was no longer working. The back receptacle is not working due to a trip GCI in the basement that only had these two receptacles on the circuit. We went ahead and replaced the back receptacle with a new weather resistant one with a new in use cover. We also converted the basement light to LED by installing LED bypass lamps and removing the ballast. Finally, we installed a new wireless doorbell kit with two push buttons one at the front door and one to side.
