Dealing with damp areas: basement, garage and outdoor sockets

Water and electricity: always a risky mix

In spaces like basements, garages, sheds and outdoor areas, moisture is far more likely. That requires extra care when using electrical connections.

General advice

• Use only outdoor-rated sockets and fixtures outside.
• Do not place power strips on the floor where water may accumulate.
• Have outdoor sockets and cables installed by an electrician.

Chargers and batteries in damp environments

• Follow OEM and installer requirements strictly.
• Provide adequate protection from rain and splashing water.
• Report rust, corrosion or moisture traces to your installer.

Leafy Energy and damp areas

• Leafy Energy cannot see moisture, but it can reveal fault patterns that might be related.
• In the demo we visualise fault clusters in certain parts of the home on maps and charts.
