rcd tripping call out

[betty swollocks]

lady rings today and tells me she has no power to house

few questions and it turns out she has a 30mA trip between supply and cu and it wont reset.

turns up and has a look, upstairs ringmain is the cause so up i goes unplugging everything, no joy, ohh well minging house, couldnt be that easy

anyways goes back upstairs and noticed brass socket on landing is green and mouldy looking, damp me thinks, so gets on me hands and knees to have a look, carpets soaking wet.... and smells....argh like pee.... hands and sleeves are soaked, walks downstairs and shows woman, her reply, 'oh the dog likes to go there!, well its too cold to let him outside'... dirty filthy people... X(

standards in peoples houses have dropped dramatically in the last ten years, before that you got the odd minging house but now its the other way round, you get the odd nice house, where has peoples pride gone?

nothing wrong with untidy, we all have lives and kids, but i'm talking pitted, disgusting hovels the kind you wouldn't dream of having a cuppa....

ohh and she had a nice shiny range rover on the drive

BS

did you not smell it ????

[betty swollocks]

to be honest the whole house(and woman) stunk to high heaven so i never noticed

 

[Badger]

so what was the cause in the end?? did you repair?

 

[Andy™]

maybe you should sort the problem with the dog.... disconnect the RCD

no!

disconnect the dogs L.E.G. so it cant stand over the socket!!! :^O:^O:^O:^O

 

[betty swollocks]

replaced the socket, the brass one was rusted to hell internally

rcd reset immediately

was tempted to do quick IR test on dogs testicles!

believe it or not i told the woman to stop the dog peeing on the socket(as if you should tell somebody that!!) to which she replied 'i'l cover it with that bookcase'

[Couleddie]

Good job you sorted it and weren't barking up the wrong tree.

Was she taking the p**s?

That job would've left me feeling a bit rough, rough!!

Was she taking the p**s?
