Protect Your Family & Your Property with a Certified Boat Dock Inspection by The Flash Electric
Water + Faulty Wiring = A Silent, Deadly Threat
If you live on Lake Lanier or anywhere with a private boat dock and need wiring services Gainesville GA, here’s a fact that might stop you cold:
Electric shock drowning (ESD) is real — and preventable. Faulty dock wiring is often to blame.
At The Flash Electric, we perform thorough, code-compliant boat dock electrical inspections across Gainesville, Cumming, Hall County, and Forsyth County to make sure your dock is safe, grounded, and GFCI protected.
When Was the Last Time Your Dock Was Inspected?
If your answer is:
- “Never”
- “When we moved in”
- “I don’t know…”
Then it’s time to call the pros. Even docks wired just a few years ago may be out of code or show early signs of corrosion, overloading, or improper bonding.
What We Inspect on Every Boat Dock:
- Proper GFCI protection on all outlets and circuits
- Condition of conduit, wiring, and junction boxes
- Integrity of breaker at the main panel
- Correct bonding of dock metal components
- Grounding to earth rod or main system
- Light and fan circuits (if present)
- Weatherproof and in-use covers
- Testing for stray voltage in water (when applicable)
- Dock disconnect location & labeling
- Full safety report with recommendations
If your dock isn’t up to code, you could face insurance cancellation, liability in case of injury, or worse.
Common Problems We Find:
- No GFCI protection (especially on older docks)
- Rusted or exposed wire connections
- Missing or unbonded ground rods
- Loose junction boxes or outlets over water
- Lights or fans installed without permits
- Circuits tied into overloaded subpanels

Posted on Matthew LordTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This company was great to do business with. From initial contact to scheduling a quote and completion of the job was lightning fast which lives up to the name. The technician that showed up for the inspection was on time, friendly, and thorough when finding out what I was looking for and giving great suggestions for how I could achieve my vision.The crew showed up on time on project day and completed the task in less time than I expected and left the area in the same condition that they found it. I now have a beautifully lighted crawl space which provides for extra storage, and comfort while making repairs on A/C or plumbing. I would definitely recommend The Flash electric to anyone looking for a fast and reliable electrician.Posted on Ginger TTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tyler and Tony came out today to install a generator transfer box for us. They did an excellent job and everything tested perfectly afterward. They were both personable and professional. We asked them to look at an outage in our shed while they were here and they diligently tested, searched and dug what they could. I already told them they're hired to come back out to run a new line when they have time. We obviously will use Flash Electric again. Thank you so much guys!Posted on Kelley SmithTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Everyone I came into contact with from scheduling to on site repairs was top notch. Working in real estate I come into contact with a lot of workers in the repairs industry, and I was so impressed with these guys. From being able to text and schedule, to having them fit me in quickly, to showing up and looking for ways to make the panel replacement as cost efficient as possible, to completing the work and being respectful & professional the whole time. They fully replaced our electrical panel & took a look at some wiring in our basement area to see if we needed to upgrade some wiring to mitigate breaker tripping. They found where everything was running and determined that we didn’t need to do anything besides use one plug differently if we didn’t want to run all new wiring. Great customer service all around.Posted on R KleiberTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. after a small electrical fire -owner, Eric answered my initial call on first ring.
