Why Electrical Faults Occur
Age and Wear — older installations naturally deteriorate over time, with connections loosening and insulation breaking down.
Overloading — modern homes place greater demands on systems than they were designed for.
Poor Installation — substandard electrical work can lead to ongoing problems and safety hazards.
Environmental Factors — moisture, heat, vibration and pest damage all contribute to faults.
Accidental Damage — DIY work, renovations or accidents can damage hidden cables and connections.
