Default Below grade electrical wiring


"MiamiCuse" wrote

While fixing the plumbing, I noticed an electrical conduit that went below
the slab, I believe one end of it goes to the exterior wall of the house
where there is a switch and an outlet, and the other end go to a planter
area twenty feet away where there is a conduit coming out with a few

(snip- Corroded conduit)

Is there a practical solution?


I think so. If the line is unsafe, have it capped off at the house first.
Danger now gone. Next, look and see if it would be easier to just ignore
the old conduit and run a new one with newest safety grade. It wouldnt have
to follow the same lines as the old so might not involve as much under the
pool deck digging to lay it. Depending on the design of your pool deck, it
*might* even be possible to go ontop without creating a trip hazard?
