! Common warning signs
Consumer unit or fuse box is wet or buzzing
A wet consumer unit can arc, trip constantly, or start a fire inside the wall. Resetting the breaker repeatedly makes it worse and can damage every circuit on the board.
Sockets and switches soaked by floodwater
Water-damaged sockets are a shock risk and can short out appliances. Even after they dry, corrosion inside the contacts causes intermittent faults and sparking.
RCD or breaker keeps tripping after a storm
Repeated tripping means moisture is still in a circuit somewhere. Ignoring it leaves you without power to parts of the house and risks a fault that damages appliances.

Number of affected circuits

Time of call-out
