Elevate All Electrical Components

If your electrical components are less than 12-inches from the ground, you need to schedule a service with our team to elevate all sockets, switches, and wires. Electrical components should be elevated twelve or more inches from your basement floor to reduce the risk of electrical hazards during a flood.
