whats the move here?just put it back together pretend i didnt see it?
what is going on with that valve? it looks like sharkbites on it.are you the homeowner or just working?
>>2987865which one? im not concerned about the plumbing its that degraded cloth electrric wire to god knows what that surprised me a bitim the owner
access panel for the shutoffs or future repairs
>>2987868Use a clamp meter to determine whether it's live or not. If it's live then you should replace the wire with Romex, and run it through conduit around the plumbing. It should also be on a GFCI breaker.
>>2987870Do you know how a clamp meter works? I don’t think you do from this post.
>>2987879Yeah hust replace the wire that disappears in the concrete bro
>>2987882That doesn’t change the fact that you can’t just stick a clamp meter around a cable with multiple wires inside and tell if it’s live. Current =/= live wire, also you would have to cut the outer sheath of the wire which doesn’t help with the concerns of moisture unless sticking in a couple of water tight junction boxes and conduit would solve that fear, but I’m too lazy to find out what code says it should actually be.
>>2987882What concrete? All I see in that photo is timber, plywood, and drywall.>>2987868I would be. I'd get that plastic shit out of there and put copper in. As for the electric, yeah, it should be replaced. Like with the plumbing thought, it doesn't 'need' to be replaced but if a good excuse ever comes along, like a bathroom remodel, it should be on the list of things you fix. Likely the whole house is full of it though. The only thing I would do right now is run a vacuum over all that debris.
>>2987858you figure out why someone put it there. where's it go? you own it, pretend its not there is your first conclusion? dumbass
>>2987915i cant figure it out without tearing into the walls
>>2987888mm no house is mostly copper. idk what happened there probably a quick cheap fix but it works and is hidden so im just gonna leave it alone
>>2987932You could just wrap the exposed length of wire with self-fusing rubber tape.
moldmoldddmolddddd
>>2987975i was braced for it to be so much worse
