Jaykline Posted November 15, 2004 Report Share Posted November 15, 2004 Lots of stuff wrong with this panel, but the really interesting thing is that these are pictures of both ends of the same 1/2" EMT conduit. Begins at the junction box attached to the main panel and ends as a stub-out in the attic with no cable clamp or anything. The stub-out ended up directly under a damaged gable vent. It had rained earlier that morning.[:-idea] I had already made up my mind that the panel alone was sufficient justification to recommend detailed investigation by a qualified, licensed electrician, etc., but I was curious ([:-wiltel] I know . . . curiosity killed the cat!) and had to open up the junction box. As soon as I turned the screw, water began pouring out. I re-tightened the screw [:-dunce] and traced the EMT to the attic and noticed a lot of wet insulation all around it. Apparently the rain blew in through the damaged vent and filled the open EMT conduit. Water filled it down to the junction box.
