Does Your South City Home Need Rewiring?

South City homes were largely built between 1900 and 1950 — some of the oldest housing stock in the metro. South City has the oldest homes in the St. Louis area, with knob-and-tube wiring, two-prong outlets, and 60A to 100A panels that are decades overdue for attention. Key signs your South City 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 South City

Homes built in South City 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 — we do both and will recommend the right approach for your home.

Knob-and-Tube Wiring Replacement in South City

Knob-and-tube wiring — found in many older South City homes — 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 City of St. Louis permits.
