Service reconnects, meter base replacement, damaged panel repair, and full rebuild wiring for homes and businesses hit by hurricane, tornado, or flood across south Louisiana and southwest Mississippi.
Common situations that bring homeowners and businesses to Pelican State Electric LLC. If any of these sound familiar, the rest of the page is worth your time.
The utility will not reconnect until the meter base and weather-head are repaired by a licensed electrician. We do that work and coordinate the reconnect with Cleco, Entergy, or your local utility.
Submerged panels and breakers cannot be safely re-energized. We replace the panel, the meter base if needed, and test the home wiring for water intrusion damage before any power is restored.
Power surges and lightning strikes can damage wiring inside walls. Do not flip the breaker back. Call us and we will assess what is safe and what needs replacing before anything is re-energized.
We install temporary 50 A service poles for displaced homeowners, coordinate the utility hookup, and convert it back to permanent when the home is repaired.
We carry commercial repair capacity for restaurants, clinics, warehouses, and offices that lose more revenue every day they are down than the repair will cost.
Every job runs through the same defined process. You know what is happening, why it is happening, and what comes next.
Call 985-590-2337. We triage over the phone, ask the right safety questions, and schedule the soonest possible site visit. If the situation is dangerous, we tell you what to do until we arrive.
We walk the property, document the damage with photos for your insurance, and produce a written scope of work.
Anything that is not safe to re-energize stays de-energized. We work in the order that gets you safely back to power: meter base, panel, branch circuits, devices.
If a service reconnect is required, we pull the permit, schedule the parish inspection, and coordinate the reconnect with the utility so the meter is re-set the same day as the inspection if at all possible.
Every replaced component is torqued to spec. Every re-energized circuit is tested for continuity, polarity, and ground. No power is restored until the system is safe.
We hand you a written scope, photos, and a copy of the permit and inspection sign-off, which is what your homeowner or commercial insurance carrier needs to settle the claim.
The work included as standard scope. No add-ons, no surprise line items.
