What is GFCI protection?
A GFCI outlet is designed to protect against electrical shock if it gets wet. They are required in bathrooms, garages, crawl spaces, basements, laundry rooms, and other areas where water is present. They have a test button to turn off the GFCI and a reset button to turn it back on after it has tripped.
Why are plugs falling out of my wall outlet?
Over time and with frequent use, the outlet loosens and wears down. When this occurs, homeowners should have it fixed it right away. Loose outlets can spark. Replacing an outlet requires rewiring part of the home’s electrical wiring. Make sure to call a qualified electrician with the knowledge and hands-on skills to quickly rewire a house wall socket efficiently and promptly.
