Post-Rain Electrical Safety Tips ⚡
Consistent rain storms across California don’t just water the landscaping — they can expose underground wiring, compromise aging fixtures, and create hidden electrical hazards.
Here are a few quick safety checks to keep your property protected after heavy rain:
✔️ Parking Lot Light Poles – Look for leaning poles, exposed wiring at the base, or flickering lights. Water intrusion at the handhole is a common issue.
✔️ Landscape Lighting – Check for fixtures that are dim, out, or partially submerged. Saturated soil can shift wiring connections.
✔️ GFCI Outlets – Test and reset exterior GFCIs. If they won’t reset, moisture may be present and should be inspected by a licensed electrician.
✔️ Panel & Junction Boxes – Watch for rust, condensation, or tripped breakers after storms.
A quick post-rain walkthrough can prevent bigger (and more expensive) problems down the line.
