Does Your Ballwin Home Need Rewiring?

Most Ballwin homes were constructed between 1970 and 1995. Homes built in the 1970sโ€“80s โ€” common throughout Ballwin โ€” often have original 100A panels that can't support modern electrical loads. Key signs your Ballwin home may need rewiring include: two-prong ungrounded outlets throughout, aluminum branch wiring, knob-and-tube wiring, frequent breaker trips, burning smells, or a home that hasn't been rewired in 40+ years.

Aluminum Wiring Remediation in Ballwin

Homes built in Ballwin between 1965 and 1982 may have aluminum branch wiring, which is a fire hazard at outlet and switch connections. The safest long-term fix is rewiring with copper. A shorter-term option is COPALUM crimping at all termination points โ€” we do both and will recommend the right approach for your home.

Knob-and-tube wiring โ€” found in many older Ballwin homes โ€” lacks a ground wire, is incompatible with modern insulation, and is rejected by most insurance companies. We replace it completely with modern grounded copper wiring, to code, with all required St. Louis County permits.
