Faulty or damaged outlets are more than an inconvenience: they can be dangerous. Outlets that spark, feel warm to the touch, or no longer hold plugs securely could be signs of larger electrical problems. Ignoring these issues risks electrical shock, fire hazards, or damage to appliances.
By having your outlets inspected and repaired promptly, you not only keep your home or business safe but also protect your investment in expensive devices and equipment. Our licensed electricians are trained to identify the cause of outlet problems, repair them correctly, and ensure your system meets all safety codes.
Not sure if it’s time to call us for help? Here are some of the most common issues we see with outlets in Baton Rouge homes and businesses:
Loose Outlets: Plugs fall out easily or won’t stay in place.
Burn Marks or Discoloration: Dark spots or melting around the outlet indicate overheating.
Sparks or Smoke: Any sparking is a clear sign of electrical trouble.
Warm or Hot to the Touch: Outlets should never feel hot when in use.
No Power: An outlet stops working entirely, even after checking the breaker.
Cracked or Damaged Faceplates: Wear and tear can expose wiring and increase risk.
If you’ve noticed any of these issues, it’s time to call Stricklin and Porter for professional electrical outlet repair.
