What Causes Wire Damage?
Wires are integral to our daily lives, powering up everything within in our homes. Over time though, these wires can become damaged for a variety of reasons.
Wire damage can be caused by the following:
- Animal and pests: When these critters chew at your wires, they can cause damage and even create fire hazards.
- Material age: As time passes, your wires can begin to become more brittle and wither. Even without other conditions or causes, your wiring will still deteriorate over time.
- Extreme weather conditions: When exposed to excessive heat such as from the sun or electrical overloading, this can lead to your wiring deteriorating over time.
- Poor design or installation: When your wiring is installed poorly, this can lead to tugging and excessive bending that will shorten your wiring’s service life.
It's crucial to keep an eye out for any signs of trouble and have our professionals inspect them right away. Neglecting to do so could not only lead to more serious damage, but also potentially dangerous situations.
