Staying safe while you wait

If it's safe, switch off the affected breaker, or the main if you're unsure. Don't keep resetting a breaker that trips. Stay well away from any downed lines and report them to your utility. Keep people and pets away from wet electrical equipment and standing water. We'll talk you through the next steps on the phone.

What happens when we arrive

We make things safe first, isolating damaged circuits and checking that nothing else is at risk. Then we find the cause and explain it plainly. Many urgent faults are fixed on the same visit. After storms, some repairs, like a damaged meter base or service mast, need to be coordinated with your utility, and we'll walk you through that process.

After a tropical storm or hurricane

Following a major storm, calls come in waves. We handle them in order of risk and let you know honestly where you are in line. If equipment was submerged, we'll advise what needs replacing rather than drying out, because water-damaged electrical parts can fail later.
