They make multimeters (volt/amp meter) that tests continuity. Basically just let’s you know if electricity makes it from point a to point b. About 99% of the time if something is wrong, all we have to do is ask around about if anything weird or new has happened in the area recently(ie: “I was cutting the grass and heard a loud gunshot from under the blades”, or “we recently had an underground water line put in from here to here”) and that solves the mystery.
