When using electrical receptacles near moist environments such as sinks, bathtubs, showers, or outdoor areas, it is essential to take additional safety measures to avoid dangerous current exposure or damage to your electrical system. Water conducts electricity, and even trace humidity can create a life-threatening hazard if a socket is unprotected by safety devices.

Always ensure that any socket near water is equipped with a GFCI—a unit that disengages the circuit when it detects a current imbalance, which often occurs when electricity passes through a human body. Verify GFCI function on a regular basis by engaging the diagnostic mode and ensuring the outlet de-energizes. Then re-engage the circuit to re-activate the outlet.

Do not insert appliances like power tools, curling irons, or phone chargers while barefoot on damp surfaces. Secure cables beyond the water-accessible zones to prevent them from accidentally falling into water. If an appliance falls into water, avoid physical contact, immediately shut down the main electrical panel before trying to remove it.

Refrain from deploying extension cords in damp locations unless they are UL-listed for wet use. Even then, keep them as dry as possible and never run them through puddles or across carpeted areas.

Conduct routine checks on sockets and cords for visible damage, rust or oxidation, or moisture intrusion. If you notice darkening, a acrid odor, or any unusual buzzing sound, stop using the outlet immediately and hire a qualified technician. Never try to repair electrical problems yourself if you are lacking certification.
