Conduit and Cable Sheathing Repair
Repairing Damaged Conduit or Cable Sheathing
Why Conduit and Sheathing Are Important
Conduit and sheathing protect wires from physical contact, prevent short circuits, and keep moisture or pests from reaching conductors. When these materials are compromised, even small gaps can lead to corrosion, overheating, or electrical faults.
Outdoor wiring, underground cables, and attic runs are particularly at risk since they’re exposed to weather changes and physical stress. Timely repairs ensure that circuits remain secure and insulation stays intact.
Common Causes of Damage
Conduit and cable sheathing can deteriorate or break down due to the following:
- Aging materials that become brittle over time
- Impact or abrasion during renovations or furniture movement
- Moisture intrusion causing corrosion or cracking
- Rodent activity or pest damage
- Improper installation or bending of conduit
Regardless of the cause, damaged protection leaves wiring exposed and unsafe for continued use.
Our Repair and Replacement Process
MAD Energy NW performs detailed inspections to determine the extent of damage before recommending the right solution. If only the outer layer is compromised, we replace or reinforce the affected section. When internal conductors are exposed or degraded, we install new conduit or wiring to restore full protection.
Our process includes the following:
- Locating all damaged conduit or insulation points
- Assessing nearby wiring for secondary wear or corrosion
- Installing new conduit, raceways, or cable shielding
- Sealing joints and securing fittings to prevent movement
- Testing the system for safety and continuity after completion
Each repair follows Washington State electrical codes, ensuring the system is safe and built for long-term performance.
Preventing Future Damage
After repairs, we help homeowners reduce the likelihood of recurring problems by inspecting vulnerable areas and recommending durable materials suited for their environment. Using high-quality conduit and weather-resistant sheathing helps extend service life and maintain system integrity.
