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

- 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
