Underground electric issues for homeowner in Farmington, NY

Challenge

A Farmington, NY customer called to complain that they were having flickering of their lights and appliances intermittently. After some time, it became apparent to them that there was something very wrong, but they could not identify the issue. Marlock technicians were sent to troubleshoot the flickering. Upon further inspection is was determined that the previous electrician didn't install the underground wiring per code and left it exposed to the earth. The soil in this area was very rocky and there was no sand to cover the exposed electric causing it to break in areas that caused the shorting of the electric throughout the house.

Solution

Our technicians got right to work with the backhoe digging up the poorly installed underground electric, replacing the faulty conductors and installing them in conduit to protect the wires from the elements preventing future damage. The electric is now no longer flickering and the customer is back up and running.
