Electrical fault that could have ended much worse.
Firefighters attended this home after a power point began arcing and creating smoke. The power had already been shut off when we arrived so we could safely inspect the installation.
We located the damaged cable behind the outlet, repaired the fault, installed a new power point and tested the circuit before restoring power so the home could safely return to normal.
This situation was completely preventable.
With the proper circuit protection in the switchboard, the fault would have been detected and shut down much earlier before it escalated to a potential fire risk.
If you’re unsure about the protection in your switchboard, it’s worth getting it checked. A quick inspection can prevent serious problems later.
Give us a call and we'll happily check it out for you
