Summary

After a severe storm, a large tree branch pulled down the overhead service entrance on this Gainesville home. The impact left the exterior electrical equipment in unsafe condition and required a full replacement to restore reliable power. The homeowner needed the work completed to code, with all inspections and utility coordination handled from start to finish.

The Work

Removed damaged meter socket, riser assembly, weatherhead, riser conductors, and hardware
Installed new 200 amp meter socket, rigid service riser, riser conductors, and weatherhead
Added new grounding electrodes and intersystem bonding connection
Sealed all wall penetrations, managed permitting, and coordinated inspection and reconnection with the utility

The Outcome

The home’s electrical service was safely restored, passing all required inspections. Every breaker was tested for proper voltage, confirming a reliable and code-compliant repair. Power was reconnected quickly, allowing the homeowner to return to normal without lingering electrical concerns.
