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.

Case Study: Electrical Repairs and Upgrades in a Kitchen in Ellicott City

This electrical service call focused on resolving issues with the wiring for a garbage disposal and kitchen recessed lights. The homeowner had been experiencing ongoing issues with the garbage disposal tripping the breaker, as well as concerns about the functionality of the kitchen’s recessed lighting.

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.

Replaced front receptacle We also provided pricing to replace the main panel and install all matching breakers with code updates and a permit. The reason for the full replacement would be due to the improper breaker for the furnace circuit that does not match the existing panel as well as the over 40 year age mark.

Replace 4 garage receptacles The reason for today’s visit was to look at power loss in the garage receptacles. We arrived we found that there were four receptacles in the garage that were only 94 V. While searching for our power loss, we found that there was a GFCI in the closet in the room beside the garage which powered the circuit. The GFCI was working properly however, when we open the first receptacle behind the freezer, we found that the neutral wire was burnt and was barely into the back of the receptacle. We showed a customer and informed her that their devices were backstabbed and that they should be replaced. Customer said that she just wanted the floor in the garage done today and that she would look into having the rest of the house, checked out at a later date as she had just moved in.
