What counts as an electrical emergency
An electrical emergency is a problem that can start a fire or shock someone if it is left alone. These signs need fast action:
- A burning or hot plastic smell from an outlet, switch or panel
- Sparks, scorch marks or a buzzing panel
- Water from a leak or flood reaching outlets or the panel
- A breaker that trips again as soon as you reset it
- Half the house dim while the other half is bright
Do this first
- Call 911 if there is smoke, fire or an injury.
- Turn off the main breaker if you can reach it safely and dry.
- Call EWEB for downed lines or a street-wide outage.
- Call (815) 456-4349 for a problem inside your building.
Storm damage
After an ice storm in Eugene
Ice storms bring down limbs that pull service drops off houses. EWEB repairs its own line. The mast, weatherhead and meter base on your house are repaired by an electrician, and EWEB may not restore power until that damage is fixed.
Half-power symptoms after a storm, such as dim lights or appliances that will not start, often mean one leg of the service is damaged. Turn off sensitive electronics and call for help.
Businesses with storm damage can also see commercial electrician in Eugene.

Water and wiring
Leaks, flooding and wet panels
Heavy winter rain in the Willamette Valley finds its way into basements, crawl spaces and outdoor boxes. Water and live wiring together are an emergency.
Do not step into standing water to reach the panel. If you cannot reach the main breaker from a dry spot, call EWEB to cut power at the meter.
Outlets, breakers and panels that got wet need an electrician's check before power goes back on. Water leaves corrosion that can fail later.
Safe steps
- Keep people and pets out of wet areas
- Unplug nothing while standing in water
- Take photos for your insurer
