Our condo in Nashville was submerged in water 4 feet deep for two days. It is now dry and the drywall has been removed to a height of 5 feet.
We had an electrician over to ask him some questions and it is his opinion that all the wiring and receptacles appear to be working fine but that they need to be replaced due to "water submersion" His invoice totals $3190 and includes Remove & Replace 2 outdoor GFI receptacles
We have two questions...
Many thanks for your help. There are a lot of scam and con men going around taking advantage of everyone and we can't afford to become victims. |

| YES, the wiring HAS to be replaced. Yes, this sounds quite reasonable. Although prices vary greatly from place to place. |

| thank you |

| While the quote is "reasonable", you should always get multiple quotes for any job. Not only does it give you peace of mind, but maybe the next guy will catch something the first missed. |
