Top Electrical Issues Caused by Storms

Oregon is no stranger to severe weather conditions. Fierce windstorms, torrential rains, and heavy snow can all damage residential and commercial electrical systems. Even a relatively mild storm could be the straw that breaks the camel’s back, causing a previously hidden issue to suddenly manifest.  

So, what kinds of issues can storms cause? Some of the most common things we see include the following: 

• Power outages: Storms can knock down power lines, cut off connections, and cause extended blackouts. 
• Water damage: Storm flooding puts electrical systems at risk. Not only are many components vulnerable to water damage, but wet conditions may create electric hazards that pose dangers to people and property.  
• Power surges: Lightning strikes and other weather-related phenomena can cause power surges. These events are notorious for frying wiring, damaging electrical appliances, and threatening the safety of homes or businesses. 
• Broken equipment: High winds and heavy precipitation may damage outdoor components like circuit boxes and lighting.

Concerned About Storm Damage to Your Electrical System? Take These Steps.  

If a storm has passed through and taken its toll on your home or business’s electrical system, you should act quickly to keep yourself and your property safe. First and foremost, avoid areas where standing water and live electricity may be present, and keep away from any downed power lines. Additionally, do not try to fix electrical issues yourself.
