ELECTRICIAN FIXES TRIPPING CIRCUIT FOR CUSTOMER, AND TOOK 2 DAYS TO FIX!
What happens here
To fix the tripping circuit, the electrician decided to run a new segment of wire, essentially creating a new circuit in parallel or bypassing the damaged section. This new wire was run in a PVC conduit (possibly shared with the sump pump line) to an existing outlet that was 'midway down the stream' of the problematic circuit. By connecting this outlet to a new, healthy power source, the previously dead outlets and lights on that segment of the circuit were restored. The old, damaged part of the circuit was then abandoned.
Goal: Bypass the damaged section of the circuit and restore power to affected outlets and lights.
