Why not call your faithful Victoria handyman over to instal new, or replace old, GFCIs?
Ground-fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs or GFIs) work like ordinary outlets, but with one big bonus:
If the GFCI senses an unnatural surge of electricity—something that's often caused by moisture—it will instantly shut off the electric current.
Because GFCIs prevent electric shock, Victoria building codes require them in rooms that are subject to moisture, such as bathrooms, garages, laundry rooms, and kitchens. And for sure all outdoor outlets.
You need a handyman.
