Ever felt like the whole outlet is going to come out of the wall when trying to pull a cord out? Electrical outlets are linked to outlet boxes which are fitted to drywall or a wall stud. Your outlet box can come loose over time from the material it was once attached to.

Fixing these outlets is not just about tightening a couple of screws. Sometimes, there might be a need to replace the whole outlet box or resize the hole in the wall, or there could be underlying issues happening, like frayed wires, and if not handled by a professional it can pose a real danger to you or your family.

That is why it is important to call a licensed electrician to repair loose electrical boxes in your house or office.

Look out for Warning Signs

Indications of loose outlet box – when it feels like the whole outlet is coming out of the wall when you are trying to unplug from the socket. Maybe you can slide the faceplate side to side. Or if the faceplate does not stay put up against the wall?

When an outlet box has been loose for some time, so are the wires attached to that outlet. If the wires have been rubbing against any hard objects or sharp edges, there could be significant wire damage. This requires professional repair service to ensure that the outlet is safe to use and that is why it is important to call a licensed electrician to repair loose electrical boxes

Potential Damage Caused by Loose Electrical Outlet Boxes

When a damaged outlet box is left unaddressed, it can lead to several possible issues. While some of these subsequent problems seem minor, others can be catastrophic.

  1. Cracked faceplate: A loose outlet box which is constantly pulled against the faceplate will lead to cracking of faceplate which can lead to exposing of live electrical wires. It is Never safe to use an outlet that does not have a proper faceplate fixed.

  1. Cord damage: Sometimes, exerting a certain amount of force to plug in a cord or unplug it can lead to loose wiring connection, making the cord ineffective. In the worst-case, exposed wires in the cord could result in electric shock.
