Do you charge extra for urgent service in Johnson Bayou?

Priority dispatch during business hours is the same hourly rate as a regular service call — we don't charge an emergency surcharge during business hours. We do not currently run a true 24/7 after-hours line.

What should I do before you arrive on a Johnson Bayou urgent call?

If it's safe: turn off the main breaker at the panel to de-energize the home. Don't try to re-energize a sparking outlet, a discolored device, or anything that smells like burning insulation. Stay out of any room with active sparking or water-on-energized-equipment, and call 911 if the situation is escalating.

Can you document storm-damage electrical for my insurance claim in Johnson Bayou?

Yes. We provide itemized invoices, photo documentation, and code-citation language that work for insurance adjusters. We've done a lot of post-storm electrical in Cameron Parish and know what most adjusters want to see.
