What happens here

This project details an electrical service call to a residential home to address two primary issues: installing a new dedicated electrical line for a sump pump and troubleshooting/fixing a tripping circuit breaker that has caused multiple outlets and lights to lose power. The video showcases the diagnosis process, material acquisition, installation of new wiring and conduit, and the eventual repair of both electrical problems.

the video guys surface call service call let's go all right good morning YouTube we are out here on one of the toughest service calls ever in electrician history back at it with the green machine and we're going to kill this service call today a few moments later I believe the husband was mentioning oh the kids were playing with a light switch uh or they hired a handyman or someone who didn't know what they were doing and they were t tampering with the wire this one's going to be a good one today what a New Jersey highway looks like everybody does this look like a highway in your state got somebody else going to work today it's like a stone guy Quarry Quarry Mason so we had to make a stop at Home Depot had to grab some extra materials so about to go Home Depot real fast you know are you team Lowe's or team Home Depot curious half inch conduit for the job ready to check out Home Depot I Like Home Depot a lot we're pulling up now to the customer's house going to give you guys a little background here it is a single family home all right guys so we're at the customer's house and we are doing two tasks today we are installing a dedicated electrical line for a sump and if anybody doesn't know what a sump pump is it is a pump that goes in the basement and pumps out water that is in the basement to outside the house so we're installing a new 15 amp dedicated circuit as every sump in a residential setting needs to be in a dedicated circuit as well as we are troubleshooting a circuit a tripping circuit breaker that has several outlets in the house not working I'm about to turn on the circuit breaker and it trips immediately see that what bro what are you talking about man trips so here's the game plan guys so in order to run the dedicated electrical line for this sump here is what we're dealing with we're going to run the line going outside the house and here's our 1/ in PVC and we got our lines being ran right here boom see that going up all the way into the attic we're running the line in the attic and then it's going to drop down to the basement just just avoids The Cutting of the basement ceiling 3 2 1 pull 3 2 1 pull a cigarette takes 7 years off your life no seven minutes 7 minutes is that true what about Vape probably like double that I know really I mean probably are probably worse what do you think is worse smoking a cigarette or going in someone's attic and breathe in in the insulation it depends on what year that attic is from bro yeah yeah cuz imagine if you go in the attic and there's all excuse my French go up there and there's all Whatchamacallit yeah uh a few moments later is it good stuff that good stuff no here's our work guys so ran the electrical line right there it's going out it's going outside in this lb up into the customer's attic see how high we High it is guys we going get an 18t ladder the other side of the house here is the other side of the house guys instead of ruining the customer finished basement sheet rock drywall ceiling we ran the line in the Attic down the house and then boom right over here and we got the sum fix as well here guys I'm actually running the electrical line now for the sump Outlet so I'm drilling into the woods guys and I'm running my Rx it's code guys to actually run the Rox above the studs because it's technically new work so we are actually running the RX all right so we now have our new outlet for the sump the sump right everybody so new outlet for the sump on its own dedicated circuit we ran the line going up and then going outside the house because the whole point was to avoid cutting this nice drywall ceiling all right guys part two of the service call now we are fixing the tripping circuit breaker where you guys been all been waiting for so now we actually disconnected around 10 Outlets guys it was a long time okay 2 days to find this out and we figured out it's all trial and error guys and we found a junction box where I'm showing before right there and we ended up running a new circuit in the PVC cond where we run this the sun pump line so we ran two circuits in that conduit PBC conduit and we ended up just finding an outlet Midway down the stream of the circuit and just powering it up and abandoning the old damaged circuit so we are happy as hell right now we are showing you that allets are on we fixed all the outlets we fixed the lighting everything is good now because we ran a new line and new power so as you can see here is previously when the outlets are off and now is the outlets are on and we are really happy it's time to get paid and that brings us to the end of the video let me know what you guys think overall guys that service call was tough it took 2 days but the customer is happy we're happy and all it matters
