Water damage to electrical wiring can pose a significant danger to your home or business if neglected. That\u2019s why we at SPS Electric have made a comprehensive list of signs you should look for and the actions you can take when dealing with water damage to your electrical system.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n Your home or business is powered by electrical wiring and electrical systems that run everything from your lights to your microwave. If water damage is present, various issues can arise and impact your daily life. When electrical wiring sits in water too long, it corrodes the wires and degrades the insulation over time. This will cause things like electrical fires, mold growth, or short-circuiting.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n There can be various causes of water damage in your electrical system. These are some of the most common occurrences that you may come across.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n Floods, hurricanes, and heavy rain can lead to water intrusion and damage electrical systems.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n Common plumbing issues, such as burst pipes, can expose electrical wiring to water.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n High humidity levels and condensation in walls or electrical boxes can affect electrical wiring and cause corrosion.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n When checking for water damage to your electrical wiring, there are many things to look for. Some problems may be physical, such as water spots or mold growth, while others may come from electrical malfunctions.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n While some of these issues are greater than others, scheduling an inspection ASAP is essential to resolve them before it\u2019s too late.
