If you have any kind of remodeling project, home improvement or need some electrical maintenance around the house, you will need to hire an electrician. Santa Monica homeowners have a big decision to make. It can be a little stressful and you may feel like you are rolling the dice. Will you get a great, solid electrician or will you get someone who is a fly-by-night untrained person who will leave you in worse shape than you started? It can be difficult to call and make an appointment if you don’t know where to start. Well, your first call should be to The Electric Connection. You can rest assured you are getting a professional service.

How do you know? The following 3 tips will help you pick the right electrician in Santa Monica.

1. Always check to make sure anybody who is going to perform work in your house is licensed and bonded. A license means they have met certain requirements by the state. Bonded means they have insurance should there be an accident where they are injured or your house suffers damage. 3. Your Santa Monica electrician should be known for their timeliness as well. You have a busy life and cannot afford to wait for someone to show up or wait for them to finish a job. You need the work to be completed as close to the schedule as possible with the understanding little hiccups do happen.

If you need a quality electrician, you can rest assured each member of the team at The Electric Connection will meet each of these requirements.

In case there is a flash flood or storm in your area or if there is a severe plumbing leak or pipe burst, that can result in flooding of water in different areas of your home. Water can cause a lot of damage to the installations and features on your property, and you would have to start the clean-up and repairs without delay. This is also when you start evaluating what can be salvaged and what would have to be replaced – and this includes your home’s wiring.

The wiring inside the walls can become dysfunctional and dangerous if it’s exposed to or submerged in water. If there is a severe flood, it becomes important to completely replace the wiring in your home. Not too many builders actually use wiring that’s rated for water exposure of this kind. Of course, not much can be done till the time all the flood water recedes and all the water has been cleared out from your home.

Even when all the water is pumped out from the indoor spaces, it’s best to shut down the electricity supply at the circuit box mains before continuing with anything. Call in your local electrician to test the wiring in your home. Even if it is still in a working condition, it’s never a good idea to use it.

The insulation can get degraded and that can raise the chances of an electrical fire in the future. In addition, when there are traces of moisture in the wiring, that leads to mould & mildew growth and the metal parts in the system can corrode. This is especially the case when the property has become flooded with salty water.

When it comes to rewiring jobs, you also have to factor in the cost of opening up the wall panels and fixing them. In instances of a flood, the walls are generally torn down right up to the framework. If you take this opportunity to upgrade the wiring in your home, you can save a significant amount of money.

Floodwater is never clean and that proves to be an additional hazard to the wiring and other installations in your home. Chemicals, oil, sewage and a number of other contaminants that come with the floodwater work their way into the smallest spaces, and this is why it’s best to just start afresh with the installation. In comparison, if your home’s wiring has been impacted by water from a burst pipe, you might be able to save these features; this is because it may not be fully-submerged in water.

However, it’s never a good idea to test the condition of the wiring yourself and you should call in a skilled and licensed electrician to thoroughly check and evaluate the installation and give their opinion. Regardless of whether the wiring in your home has got impacted by flood water or water from a damaged plumbing installation, it’s important to get it checked without delay. The professionals will provide suitable solutions based on the condition and location of the wiring.
