A sparking outlet is always a serious electrical hazard. Even a brief spark can indicate arcing that is capable of igniting wall insulation or nearby materials. This warrants immediate action.
A small spark when first plugging in a device can be normal. However, a large spark, a prolonged spark, a spark with a popping sound, or sparks from an outlet with nothing plugged in are all signs of a dangerous fault — loose wiring, moisture intrusion, a short circuit, or an overloaded circuit.
If the sparking is more than a brief, tiny flash when first plugging in — or if it happens with no device connected — call us now. Arcing inside walls can cause fires that are invisible until they are serious.
