Professional Underground Electrical Fault Repair

If you've lost power to part of your home or noticed flickering lights outdoors, you might be dealing with a broken underground electrical fault. These hidden issues can be frustrating and unsafe — but the good news is, Blackout Electric has the tools and experience to fix them fast.

We specialize in underground electrical fault repair for homeowners in Peyton, Colorado Springs, and surrounding El Paso County. With professional locating equipment and over 25 years of expertise, we'll find the problem and restore your power safely and efficiently.

1. What Is an Underground Electrical Fault?

An underground fault occurs when a buried electrical wire becomes damaged or fails to carry current properly. This can happen due to aging cables, shifting soil, corrosion, rodent damage, or moisture entering the line.

When this happens, you may notice power loss in part of your home, tripped breakers, or outdoor circuits that stop working. Because these wires are buried, locating the source takes special tools and expertise — that's where Blackout Electric comes in.

2. How Blackout Electric Locates the Problem

Our team uses state-of-the-art underground wire locating tools to pinpoint the exact spot of the fault — without unnecessary digging. Here's how we do it:

1. Inspection & Assessment: We start by mapping where your underground electrical lines run and isolating the affected circuit.
2. Precision Locating: Using advanced fault detection equipment, we trace the underground lines to find where the break or short has occurred.
3. Accurate Diagnosis: Once the problem is found, we'll discuss clear solutions for repair or replacement.

This process saves time, avoids unnecessary damage to your yard, and gets your electrical system back up and running quickly.

3. Repairing Broken Underground Wires

Once we locate the fault, we'll carefully excavate a small section to expose the damaged wire. Depending on the severity, repairs may involve splicing, replacing, or rerouting the underground electrical line.

At Blackout Electric, we pride ourselves on clear communication.

• The first hour of locating is included in the base price.
• If repairs are needed, we'll clearly explain hourly rates and material costs before beginning any work.

You'll always know what to expect — no hidden fees, no surprises.

4. Why Hire a Licensed Master Electrician

Attempting to repair or locate a broken underground wire on your own can be dangerous and costly. Underground systems involve complex wiring, and one wrong move can cause more damage or even electrical shock.

With Kevin, a licensed Master Electrician and owner of Blackout Electric Peyton CO, you get decades of hands-on experience. We follow all Colorado electrical codes, ensuring every repair is safe, compliant, and built to last.

Choosing Blackout Electric means choosing professional service, safety, and reliability.
