Preventative measures, such as waterproofing your sockets by sealing the edges of your mounts can help you from hazards. Keeping sockets plugged while not in use to prevent water infiltration, are, in our opinion, the best way to stay safe. Of course, you can’t avert every danger or accident. Water is a conductor of electricity, hence moisture and water in electrical outlets can increase the current. Water can cause electrical wiring to short circuit, which can heat up the wires and potentially cause electrical fires.
Even if you’re “pretty sure” that your electrical outlet is already dry, never try to remove it, fix it, or use it right away. Instead, you should test your outlet using a dependable voltage metre, if possible.
