Check Out Our Latest Work – Power Through The Wall

There’s the problem, power cords has been run through the wall; power through the wall.

Work with me here, what is the craziest thing you’ve ever seen? How about a powered appliance cord wired through the wall? Honestly, just when we think we might have seen everything, this popped up back in June 2010.

The age of the home might give this away, but let’s assume you have a new appliance with no outlet. The solutions could be a) run wire through the wall or b) call for a solution, assess the best options, agree to run new service to the appliance side of the wall.

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.

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.
