Electrical fault finding and repair in Tbilisi
A socket, switch or light has stopped working and the cause is not obvious? Labex finds the damaged point, even one hidden inside the wall, and restores it so the circuit runs safely again.
- Restoring a dead socket, switch or light point
- Locating a damaged or broken cable inside the wall
- Pinpointing a short circuit or a current leak
- Replacing burnt contacts in a junction box
- Replacing the damaged section and re-testing the circuit
What signs point to a damaged point?
A socket has no power although the breaker is on; you flip the switch and the light stays off; a socket warms up, darkens or sparks; the power goes on one wall or in one room only; the breaker trips only when one particular point is switched on. A hot or blackened point is urgent: stop using it.
How does Labex find the damaged point?
- At the board the electrician identifies which circuit the dead point is on
- The run is measured section by section: point to point and at the junction boxes
- The damaged spot is pinned down before any wall is opened, so only that spot is opened
- The damaged contact, junction box or cable section is replaced
- Finally the circuit and its protection are tested again
When the damage goes beyond one point and takes in the whole run, the job is an electrical repair; if the cause is at the board, see distribution board assembly and upgrade. With sparks or a burning smell, do not wait: Labex runs an emergency call-out around the clock. In old buildings where the wiring has been extended several times, the circuit is traced before the search starts: that is how the electrician in Sololaki and Mtatsminda and the electrician in Isani and Avlabari work.
What does electrical fault finding from Labex include?
A socket, switch or light has stopped working and the cause is not obvious? Labex finds the damaged point, even one hidden inside the wall, and restores it so the circuit runs safely again.
How quickly does the electrician arrive?
Labex takes emergency calls first and handles most requests in Tbilisi the same day. Average response time is 30 minutes.
Where does Labex work?
Labex works across Tbilisi, in every district, and in the areas just outside the city.
Can a damaged cable be found without tearing the wall open?
Yes. Labex measures the circuit first and pins down the damaged spot, and the wall is opened only where the cable really is damaged.
The socket is dead but the breaker is on. What is the cause?
Most often it is a loose or burnt contact in the socket itself or in the junction box before it, less often a broken wire inside the wall. A Labex electrician measures the run, finds the exact spot and replaces the damaged part.
What does fault finding cost?
The price depends on where the fault sits and how many sections need replacing. Labex checks on site and tells you what needs doing and what it will cost before any work starts.
How do I find a cable inside the wall?
A wiring detector shows where a cable runs and is useful before drilling. It does not always find the exact damaged spot: for that the run has to be measured section by section, which a Labex electrician does on site.
