We disconnect the utility feed, swap your outdated panel for a modern load center, re-land every circuit on correctly rated breakers, and coordinate the final inspection with your municipality.
We test the suspect breaker with calibrated equipment, check for loose bus connections and signs of arcing, replace the faulty breaker with a matching UL-listed unit, and load-test the circuit.
