SERVPRO technicians arrive on site in many different conditions. We have tools that we use on all kinds of jobs, large and small. One of these tools is known as a circuit breaker finder. They are used to locate circuit breakers and test receptacle wiring. SERVPRO uses this device locate branch circuit breakers without flipping breakers to other circuits, to confirm proper wiring and to test ground fault receptacle operation. In layman terms, its gives the technicians the ability to finder the proper breaker with hurting themselves or causing more damage to the situation. This is correctly done by, plugging the transmitter into the outlet and trace for correct breakers at the electrical box. Transmitter injects a signal onto circuit which can be detected by the receiver. The receiver will beep when the signal is detected. The transmitter will also read receptacle wiring and test (GFCI) or Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt, conditions. These are one of many tools used by the professionals at SERVPRO to better insure the safety of the technicians and the civilian crews on site.
