Around the old town, there are many newer neighborhoods too. We book local electricians for both.

Flood Damage and Wiring

Main Street was hit by serious flash floods in 2016 and again in 2018. Floods like these can soak panels, outlets, and wires.

Wiring that has been under water should not just be dried and turned back on. Breakers, outlets, and some cables may need to be replaced. If your home or business took on water, have an electrician check it before using that power again.

  • Post flood panel and wiring checks
  • Panel and outlet replacement
  • Surge protection
  • Generator installs

Old Stone Buildings

Thick stone walls make it harder to run new wires. Electricians often use surface raceways, floors, or attics to reach new outlets without breaking stone.

These buildings may also have old wiring that should be updated. A safety inspection is a good first step.

Suburban Ellicott City

In neighborhoods outside the old town, the most common calls are for panel upgrades, EV chargers, and new lighting. Permits go through the Howard County Department of Inspections, Licenses and Permits.

After a Storm in Ellicott City

Stay out of standing water near outlets or cords. Water and power are a deadly mix.

Take photos of any damage for your insurance company. Then have an electrician check the panel and wiring before you turn wet circuits back on.
