FLOOD, STORMS & FIRE
Electrical Repairs After Damage
After a major event, damaged electrics pose serious risks—even before you flip a switch. If wires, switchboards, outlets, or safety devices have been exposed to water, heat, or debris, they could short-circuit, fail, or worse—become live with electricity.
We begin with a full site assessment, including visual inspections and safety testing. Damaged components are safely disconnected and replaced.
Any appliances or equipment exposed to flood water often need to be replaced too. We work with manufacturers where possible, but most water-damaged items can’t be safely restored. We’ll advise you clearly and help streamline the replacement process for insurance claims.
Our electricians also assess materials like metal foil insulation and sarking that can conduct electricity and cause hidden dangers. All work is carried out to current safety standards—including replacing damaged safety switches before reconnecting power.
Whether you need an urgent inspection or full electrical rebuild, we’ll guide you through the safest and most efficient recovery.
What should I do if water gets into my power outlets?
If water enters a power outlet, turn off the main power at the switchboard immediately—if it’s safe to do so. Do not touch the outlet or any connected appliances. Water can cause short circuits, corrosion, or live surfaces. An electrician should assess the outlet before it’s used again. Even once dry, the outlet may still pose fire or shock risks. It may need to be replaced entirely depending on damage and insurance assessment.
Can water-damaged wiring be reused after drying out?
No, wiring that has been submerged or water-exposed should not be reused, even if it appears dry. Water can corrode copper and cause insulation to degrade, which leads to short circuits or fire risks. Once moisture enters cable sheathing or outlets, it compromises the safety and integrity of the system. Insurance providers and Australian safety standards generally require replacement, not repair, of submerged electrical components.
Does insurance cover electrical repairs after storm damage?
Most home and business insurance policies cover electrical repairs caused by storm, fire, or flood damage—but coverage depends on your individual policy. Insurers typically require an assessment by a licensed electrician who can provide a written report outlining the damage. This report is used to verify claims and determine which components can be repaired or must be replaced. It’s important to act quickly to meet policy timeframes and safety obligations.
