House Rewiring & New Construction Electrical in Sumrall, MS
Modernize Your Home’s Electrical System for Safety and Performance.
Electrical wiring is the nervous system of your home, but it is often out of sight and out of mind until something goes wrong. If you live in an older home in South Mississippi, your wiring may not be equipped to handle modern electronics, or worse—it may be a fire hazard.
At Dement Electrical Services, we are experts in whole-house rewiring and new construction electrical. Whether you are building your dream home from the ground up or retrofitting a historic property, we ensure every wire, outlet, and switch meets the strictest National Electrical Code (NEC) safety standards.
When is Rewiring Necessary?
Ungrounded Outlets: If your outlets only have two prongs, your home lacks a ground wire, which puts your electronics at risk.
Aluminum Wiring: Common in homes from the 60s and 70s, aluminum wiring can loosen over time and cause fires. We offer safe remediation and replacement.
Knob and Tube Wiring: This ancient wiring method is uninsulated and highly dangerous. Most insurance companies will not cover homes with active knob and tube.

Types of Electrical Wiring Systems
There are several wiring methods, though some are now outdated. Here are the most common types:
Cleat Wiring: Involves PVC-insulated wires held by porcelain cleats on walls or ceilings. Rarely used today and typically only for temporary setups.
Batten Wiring: Wires are laid over wooden battens and secured with brass clips.
Casing and Capping: Involves wires run inside wooden casings, but this method has largely fallen out of use.
Lead Aluminum Sheathed Wiring: Wires are covered in an aluminum alloy for added mechanical protection.
Conduit Wiring (Surface or Concealed): The most modern and widely used method today, where wires are run through protective conduits either visible on walls or hidden within them.
No matter the system, precision and safety are critical when it comes to electrical wiring. One small mistake can lead to major hazards, which is why our team is committed to doing the job right the first time.

Signs You May Have Faulty Wiring
Wiring problems can develop over time or stem from poor installation. Watch for these warning signs:
Frequent breaker trips: While occasional trips are normal, constant disruptions may point to deeper wiring issues.
Flickering or dimming lights: Especially when using multiple devices or appliances.
Humming or buzzing sounds: Coming from switches, outlets, or light fixtures.
Burning smells: A serious red flag often linked to overheating wires.
Warm or vibrating outlets: Outlets should never feel hot or buzz under normal use.
