Most households will have tens of sockets dotted around their house in various rooms and areas. We have listed the damage/ signs you should look out for when checking if your plug socket is safe for use.
- Cracks to the plug socket
Cracks can occur on plug sockets for numerous reasons, including wear and tear or damage from an external source. Excess heat caused by a fault on the back of a socket can also cause the front of the plug socket to crack. Cracks can potentially expose wires – and can also pose a fire risk due to the inevitable dust build-up that will occur over time. If you notice a crack in your plug socket, we advise that you get in contact with us right away to get the fixture repaired or replaced.
- Heat scorch marks
Overloading the plug, poor wiring or dust build-up can cause plug sockets to produce an excessive amount of heat which causes scorch marks. These marks are dark brown or black in colour and will be found around the socket or plug. If you see scorch marks surrounding the plug, we advise turning the plug off the wall before unplugging any appliances. Do not use the plug again until one of our electricians has had it properly inspected.
- Electrics switching off temporarily
If you have an appliance plugged into your socket and the appliance appears to be intermittently switching on and off – check that the issue lies with the plug socket by plugging it into a separate socket. If the appliance works fine, it’s a sign that the socket has an issue. There could be numerous reasons for this, including loose connections or faulty wiring.
If you notice any of these in your house – don’t panic – just give us a call and we’ll get one of our expert electricians to come and assist.
