Finding a cable break twin and earth lighting if possible in a wall.

[ian65]

Hi all,
just thought i would try and find a solution on how to find where a cable could be broken in a wall?

The break as i am putting it together with insulation test shows cable broken in the wall in the switch wire (so flashing disco lights) not good.
A few years ago the house was flooded by a burst pipe and this is one of the effected parts, looking for where the break is is some thing else with out doing to much damage to wall.

Also i wonder the best tool for the job to sink the new cable back into the wall ie. grinder with masonry disc with 2 runs or can i get or hire any thing to do it in one as i have heard there is?

Anyone with info please reply many thanks Ian :sad_smile:

Lump hammer and bolster, and isolate first.
