Greetings, I know i have a real problem here but would like others to comment on what could cause this to happen.
I have attic wiring that has heated and split. It is old 2/14 wire that is plastic exterior with all wire wrapped in paper. The wire seems to have heated enough to blacken the pink blow in insulation right next to it.
We are going to have to replace all this wire in the attic.
I am gonig to follow the wires that exibit this problem and replace them all and replace the Boxes that are not air sealed IC rated as i go.
Some wires do not show this problem thank goodness. It is the lines that lead into the washroom that do. I have not made my way across the attic yet to dig them all out.
Is there anything else that i should be looking for while correcting this?
Thank you.
