What Counts as an Electrical Emergency?

These situations require an immediate call — do not wait until morning:

Sparking or Arcing

Visible sparks from outlets, switches, or your panel are an immediate fire hazard.

Burning Smell

An electrical burning smell with no visible source often means wiring is overheating inside a wall.

Complete Power Loss

Total power loss when your neighbors still have power — especially if it can't be explained by a tripped main breaker.

Exposed Wiring

Wiring that has been damaged, cut, or is exposed — from storms, pests, or construction accidents.

Flooding Near Panel

Water in or near your electrical panel or service entrance is an immediate electrocution hazard.

Buzzing in Walls

Crackling or buzzing sounds from walls or the panel are the sound of arcing — don't ignore it.

What to Do Right Now

1 If you see smoke or flames — leave immediately and call 911. Do not try to address an electrical fire with water.
2 Keep everyone away from the affected area, panel, or outlets.
3 Do not reset sparking or smoking breakers. Do not touch exposed wires.
4 Call Spark Doc Electric at (913) 390-3780 — we're available 24/7.
