Fried, Replace and Update
Modifications – Burnt Panel
Burnt Panel, Time for a little TLC (Time, Love and Care)
Yikes. When it comes to electrical work, safety is key. One breaker failure can cause more damage than you might expect. The most probable scenario is that the breaker failed due to standards or code issue. I was brought in as the expert to assess the damage and ended up working on a full service rewire, replacing breakers, and installing a new box.
Replace Service Panel
Burnt, Full Restoration
Of course, once the panel was cleaned up, and cleaned out, standards requirements dictated that the code be brought in line with current standards. This included standard procedures for matching services, wiring, breakers etc. The number one priority was reducing electrical fires and damage caused by fire.
The following items were replaced: the panel box, breakers, various wiring sizes, debris was cleaned out, and fire-damaged areas around the box and piping were cleaned/sanitized (where applicable). The panel was fully inspected, operational and ready for service to the property.
