@everyday_home_repairs: How to Fix a Sunken Outlet—Flush, Safe, and Code-Compliant Got an outlet or switch that’s recessed too far into the wall? Not only does it look bad—it could be a safety hazard. In this video, we cover how to fix sunken outlets using spacers and UL-listed box extenders. We also show you how to use oversized wall plates to hide gaps without drywall work. With just one trip to the hardware store, you can get a clean, flush, and code-compliant install. #electrical #DIYElectrical #homefix
