Proper bonding and grounding are critical components of a safe and reliable residential electrical system, especially during electrical service updates or when plumbing is replaced. In Portland, Oregon, many older homes were built with outdated grounding methods that no longer meet current electrical codes. When electrical services are upgraded or plumbing systems are modified—such as replacing metal water lines with PEX or PVC—it’s essential to ensure bonding and grounding are properly addressed.

As part of our residential electrical service updates, we evaluate the entire grounding and bonding system, including grounding electrodes, service equipment, and bonding of water and gas piping. If plumbing has been replaced or altered, we make the necessary corrections to maintain electrical continuity and safety. By bringing these systems up to current code standards, we help protect your home, reduce shock and fire risks, and ensure your electrical system in Portland is safe, compliant, and built to last.
