Grounding System Repair
Repairing Faulty Grounding Systems
A proper grounding system protects your home by directing excess electricity safely into the earth during faults or surges. When grounding connections fail, your electrical system becomes more vulnerable to shock hazards and equipment damage. MAD Energy NW provides expert service from a licensed Auburn electrician to inspect, repair, and restore grounding systems that keep your home safe.
Why Grounding Is Important
A grounding system provides a controlled route for stray electrical current to flow away from your home during faults, surges, or lightning events. Without it, current can flow unpredictably through metal surfaces, appliances, or wiring, posing serious safety risks.
Common signs of grounding issues include the following:
- Breakers that trip unexpectedly
- Flickering lights or inconsistent voltage
- Electrical shocks from outlets or appliances
- Unusually high power surges or equipment failures
If any of these problems occur, it’s critical to have a qualified electrician perform a full system inspection.
