    Voltage in shower waste!

    Very grateful for all the assistance so far.

    Voltage in shower waste!

    Lol sorry people! I've not abandoned you honest! Just getting as much info as pos. If you've not seen yet then I'll enlighten you. Today I found 25v on the metal studwork in 2 seperate places oon the 1st floor. Appeared to be directly energized by the lighting circuit. However once the...

    Voltage in shower waste!

    Ok gents here is todays update. Only had a short while at property so I chose to record some IR readings directly to waste water at one of the showers. Also I have double checked and I do definately have 3 seperate stacks that meet in the ground outside. The following IR readings were taken...

    Voltage in shower waste!

    Definately have not tried this...voltage is only present within the house waste. Nothing present in drain outside where 3 stack pipes meet in pit. Somewhere the water is carrying a voltage. How much voltage at origin is anyones guess as I could be reduced by the time I'm reading it. It seems...

    Voltage in shower waste!

    I'm told its recent...like within last 2 weeks. Of course I've already gone through the diy routine and eliminated any possibility there.

    Voltage in shower waste!

    It is classed as rural yes. Not exactly out in the country so to speak.

    Voltage in shower waste!

    The above checks have been carried out and as you say they are all the same. Have not done IR to water itself to be honest.....can't say ive ever put a test probe in water before this week lol!

    Voltage in shower waste!

    Having lifted the drain today I think it's probably fair to say there are 3 downpipes all running down to the same drain as the drain is 4 way with 3 inlets from the house clearly below where each pipe is. So it seems to me that the wastes of each room (bathroom & 2 en-suites) don't even connect...

    Voltage in shower waste!

    Ok so we have read this voltage so far using a digital fluke probes, a stienel, a robin test kit. Readings have been taken between water-mixer tap, water-pipework bonding, water-driven stake outside, water-final circuit cpc, water-direct to consumer unit MET. These are not electric showers as...

    Voltage in shower waste!

    Fair question. It is literally in the tray/basin with the taps/shower turned off and water draining.

    Voltage in shower waste!

    Ive been through the idea of having a metal waste put in. First plumber ive spoken to tells me metal traps dont exist?? I'm also not so happy to conclude with that idea as that doesn't answer the problem of where its coming from.

    Voltage in shower waste!

    If that were the case I would never have had the call....I have felt this shock and it can certainly let you know it is there!

    Voltage in shower waste!

    Just when the water is going through the waste. I can watch the voltage reduce as the water disappears

    Voltage in shower waste!

    Hi Gents thanks for all the posts....unfortunately this is still not resolved. I have once again worked through all circuits and was convinced I was closing in on he problem. I connected each circuit individually and switched on to see which were giving a voltage. I had done this before. I...

    Voltage in shower waste!

    Just checked outside electrics (only 1 twin skt on house wall)...no problem there. Also checked for voltage in the actual drainage outside the front door. No voltage present.

    Voltage in shower waste!

    I have carried out the process of turning on/off each circuit in turn to see when the problem arises. It is difficult to gauge exactly but it definately appears clearly on 3 or 4 of the 6 circuits... The voltage does disappear when the main switch is off. I'm 100% banking on an external...

    Voltage in shower waste!

    I hear you Marvo :) Ive got all the externals to check through tomorrow then it'll have to be the bad news for the customer... sorry but I'm just going to rip your house apart :/

    Voltage in shower waste!

    No I wish they were then it would be easy to remove the voltage! HOWEVER that would not tell me where it is coming from which of course is my biggest concern!

    Voltage in shower waste!

    Agreed about the ring main but my priority right now has to be the water issue. I have had every neutral and earth disconnected at the board and the problem still lives. It must be an external anomilie!?!?! I hope...

    Voltage in shower waste!

    LOL, I just came back from 2 weeks away to this!
