"Once the electrical box was opened and assessed it was apparent that the electrical box was pulled away from the house wall by the ground settling. Much of the wood frame behind the box had experienced water damage requiring long screws to seek enough wood meat to pull the box back to the brick wall. A vertical slip sleeve pipe was installed to adjust for the horizontal piping in the ground settling. The owner agreed to add foam, calking to help seal the wall box to the house wall and add a sloped top cover and sides to add additional protection from future heavy rain. This was an original construction land settling issue that is not uncommon."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Usually, a light switch goes bad due to normal wear and tear. Light switches are mechanical devices with internal moving parts. These parts make contact with each other, and, over time, the friction can wear them down, causing the switch to feel loose, arc, or fail to operate. 

Although homeowners can turn off a breaker, it’s vital to follow safety precautions when doing so to prevent serious and potentially fatal injuries. For instance, you want to ensure there is no water on the floor when you touch the breaker and wear protective gear such as safety glasses. Anytime you deal with anything electrical, it’s always best to be as safe as possible.

Single switch installs are quick DIY projects, but you should consider enlisting the help of a pro for more complicated replacements—like a smart switch or if you live in an older home with outdated wiring. Professional electricians are trained in the latest code regulations. They are also insured, licensed, and bonded.

They can vary—a lot. For example, while the EU continues to move toward broader standardization, many different types of outlets still exist from country to country. Some local standards cared about polarization, and some didn’t. It’s similar to other countries around the world.

Generally, you’re less likely to find polarized outlets outside North America. However, alternative plugs and outlets often incorporate precautions so that accidentally touching live prongs on a plug is hard or impossible. You may also find interesting regulations overseas that limit the use of outlets in bathrooms or near sinks to decrease the chance of shock.

Common signs of faulty electrical wiring include frequent circuit breaker trips, flickering or dimming lights, burning smells near an outlet, buzzing or humming sounds, electrical shocks or tingles when handling outlets of appliances, and hot or discolored outlet switches. If you notice one or more of these signs, hire a licensed electrician for an average cost of $50 to $100 per hour to diagnose and make necessary repairs.
