Wondering if anyone can offer any advice.
Lower ground floor victorian flat.
CH pipes buried in concrete floor throughout.
Electrical cables buried in concrete.
Had a spark round 3 weeks ago to fit a new 17th CU.
While final testing he said that the socket circuit was giving low readings (cant remember of what)
He suggested that damp might be an issue.
Tuned out it was a leak form the CH pipes in the floor.
So, circuit worked when CU installed (but not to spec).
Water level had obviously risen in floor and now circuit constantly tripping.
Found leak, have now repaired it. Floor was absolutely soaking.
Have been drying out the floor for a couple of weeks now.
Circuit still constantly tripping.
What are the chances that when the floor properly dries out the circuit will be OK?
Hope this makes sense.
