Pinpoint Accuracy – What Saved A School’s Parking Lot!
When the Nazareth Area School District needed parking lot lighting repairs, the initial assumption was that the underground wire break was beneath the paved lot—meaning a costly, disruptive cut-and-patch repair. Shafnisky Electric used advanced troubleshooting equipment and underground wire locators to confirm the true fault location: a grassy area beside the lot.
A Nazareth, PA Parking Lot Vs. A Grassy Field: A World Of Difference For Commercial Repairs
…And For A Busy School District!
School parking lots do a lot of heavy lifting. From busy morning and afternoon student dropoffs and pickups to essential parking for teachers and staff, there’s no “downtime” for Lehigh Valley school districts.
So, when the Nazareth Area School District needed commercial electrical repairs in Nazareth, PA, Shafnisky Electric knew what was at stake. The school needed new parking lot lighting, and the school’s maintenance electrician thought the underground wire break was under the paved parking lot.
Because tearing up the parking lot would’ve been a major undertaking and caused a huge inconvenience for teachers and parents alike, we wanted to double-check.
And we’re so grateful we did!
Shafnisky Electric Prides Ourselves On Fast, Effective Diagnoses – Not Guesswork
Because tearing up the parking lot to fix the lighting would result in major inconvenience (and costs) for the school, we had to double-check. It’s just one of the reasons so many home and property owners trust Shafnisky Electric.
We pride ourselves on fast, effective diagnoses for every problem – not guesswork.
We didn’t blame the maintenance electrician. Because parking lot lighting is typically fed through underground conduit/cable runs, the wire break being under the parking lot was a logical guess.
But that’s the thing – we never rely on guesses, no matter how logical they are.
The Costs Of Guesswork On The School’s Parking Lot
Excavation, patching, labor, and the risk of damaging other vital utilities under the parking lot are not costs any school district takes lightly.
Many of us at Shafnisky Electric have school-aged children of our own, and we can’t imagine the chaos of rerouting traffic during busy morning dropoffs or school pickups. And that’s not considering the buses!
Given everything that was at stake for the school’s commercial electrical repairs, nothing less than pinpoint accuracy would do.
Our Troubleshooting Technology – Diagnostics First, Disruptions Last
At Shafnisky Electric, our trusted reputation is not only dependent on the incredible work of our electricians but also on our investment in cutting-edge technology. Our underground wire locators helped us determine – without a doubt – where the wire break was.
We all breathed a sigh of relief.
It wasn’t under the paved parking lot at all! Rather, it was in a grassy area next to the parking lot, resulting in a much faster, more efficient, and disruption-free process.

But because Nazareth School District chose us, they received a swift, efficient job from professionals who check, double-check, and triple-check before finding the best solution.
