What happens here

The electrician further explains that the previously observed damage to the LB fitting is a direct consequence of the entire conduit assembly settling downwards. He notes that although there is one strap securing the conduit to the wall, this is insufficient. A second strap should have been installed lower down the conduit to adequately support its weight and prevent it from sinking into the ground or pavement. This lack of proper support creates a downward pulling force on the upper connections, leading to the observed stress and cracking.

Goal: Assess conduit support mechanisms and identify visual signs of settling or inadequate bracing.
