Storm-Damaged Electrical Service in Morris County, NJ: How Amp’d Up Electrical Can Help
Severe thunderstorms, high winds, falling trees, and heavy rain can cause significant electrical damage to homes throughout Morris County, NJ. In fact, recent severe storms have caused widespread outages and required major restoration efforts across the county.
When a storm damages your home’s electrical service, restoring utility power may be only part of the solution. Damage to the electrical service attached to your home may require repairs by a licensed electrical contractor before power can be safely restored.
Fortunately, Amp’d Up Electrical Contracting, LLC can help Morris County homeowners evaluate storm damage, make necessary electrical service repairs, and get their homes ready for safe power restoration.
A storm has brought down a tree on this electrical service. The electrical mast (pipe) running through the roof has been damage beyond repair.
After the storm has cleared, Amp’d Up replaced the conduit, meter enclosure, and service conductors (wires). A steel cable, also known as a guy wire, has been added for extra support of the mast above the roof line.
What Happens When a Storm Damages Your Electrical Service?
During a strong storm, falling trees and branches can pull on overhead utility wires. As a result, the electrical service attached to your home can become damaged.
For example, storm damage may affect:
- Electrical service entrance cables
- Weatherheads and service masts
- Meter equipment
- Service attachment points
- Grounding and bonding components
- Electrical panels and service equipment
- Exterior wiring and connections
Additionally, water intrusion can create another electrical hazard. Therefore, homeowners should avoid touching damaged electrical equipment or attempting temporary repairs themselves.
Most importantly, never approach or touch a downed electrical wire. Morris County advises residents to stay away from downed wires and immediately report these hazards.
Utility Damage vs. Homeowner Electrical Damage
After a storm, homeowners sometimes assume the electric utility will repair everything between the street and the electrical panel. However, that is not always the case.
The utility maintains certain portions of the electrical distribution system. Meanwhile, other equipment associated with the home’s electrical service may be the homeowner’s responsibility.
Therefore, if a storm pulls electrical equipment away from your house, damages a service mast, or affects other customer-owned equipment, you may need a licensed Morris County electrical contractor to complete the necessary repairs.
That is where Amp’d Up Electrical can help.
How Amp’d Up Electrical Can Help After a Storm
When storm damage affects your electrical service, we inspect the situation, identify damaged electrical components, and determine what needs to be repaired or replaced.
First, we evaluate the visible damage to the electrical service and related equipment. Next, we determine what work is necessary to restore the system safely. When required, we can repair or replace damaged service equipment and coordinate the electrical work needed for restoration.
Depending on the damage, we can help with:
- Electrical service repairs
- Service entrance cable replacement
- Meter and service equipment repairs
- Electrical panel repairs or replacement
- Grounding and bonding repairs
- Damaged exterior electrical wiring
- Electrical troubleshooting after power restoration
- Electrical service and panel upgrades
- Generator and portable backup-power solutions
Because storm damage can vary considerably from one property to another, we evaluate each situation individually rather than assuming every home requires the same repair.
