Breaker and Outlet Replacement
We replace damaged breakers and outlets using Square D, Eaton, and Leviton parts. Every replacement is UL-listed and meets NEC code, so your repair passes inspection.

How it works
How Our Storm Damage Repair Process Works
01
Call & Triage
You call (919) 335-9816 and speak to a real electrician, not a dispatcher. We ask what happened, whether you smell burning, and if any breakers are tripped. That five-minute conversation lets us bring the right tools and parts for your specific storm damage.
02
On-Site Safety Check
A licensed electrician arrives in a stocked truck and immediately checks for hazards: sparking outlets, water near the panel, or a burning smell. We shut off power at the main if needed and use a voltage tester to confirm the system is safe to inspect.
03
Full Diagnostic
We test every circuit with a multimeter and clamp meter, inspect the panel for water damage, and check outlets and switches with a receptacle tester. You get a plain-English explanation of what failed and what it takes to fix it, with upfront pricing before we start.
04
Repair & Replace
We replace damaged breakers, outlets, switches, and wiring using UL-listed parts from Square D, Eaton, and Leviton. If the panel is water-damaged, we dry it, test insulation resistance, and swap components as needed. Most repairs take two to four hours.
05
Test & Restore
Before we leave, we test every circuit under load, confirm no arcing or overheating, and walk you through what we fixed. You get a written summary for your records or insurance claim, and we only restore power once everything reads safe.

Real results
Before and after.
Lightning Surge Fried Main Breaker
Before
A lightning strike near a home in Berkeley tripped the main breaker and left half the house without power. The homeowner reset it twice, but it tripped again immediately.
After
We replaced the failed 200-amp main breaker with a new Square D unit, tested every circuit under load, and restored full power in about three hours. The homeowner avoided a full panel replacement.
Flooded Panel in East End Basement
Before
Heavy rain flooded a basement in East End, submerging the bottom of the electrical panel. The homeowner smelled burning and called us at 10 p.m.
After
We shut off power, dried the panel, replaced two water-damaged breakers and the bus bar, and tested insulation resistance. Power was restored safely by 1 a.m.
Storm-Damaged Service Mast Repair
Before
An ice storm snapped a tree limb that pulled the service mast away from a home in Rosewood. The meter base was hanging loose and power was completely out.
After
We repaired the mast, reattached the service drop with Duke Energy, replaced the meter base, and restored power the same day. The repair passed inspection without issue.

A tripped breaker is a quick fix. A water-damaged panel with corroded bus bars takes longer and costs more. We diagnose first and price the actual repair.
02Parts Required
Common breakers and outlets are stocked on our trucks. Specialty or obsolete breakers may need to be sourced, which can add a day and a small parts premium.

Calls between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. or on holidays carry a dispatch fee. We tell you the fee upfront before we roll a truck.
04Access and Location
A panel in a finished basement is easier to reach than one in a crawlspace. Difficult access can add labor time and cost.
