I am a fairly new electrician and recently received a call out from an elderly client who says that on 6 occassions over the last 5 years there have been numerous water leaks transpiring from the flat above hers. She says on at least 3 occassions the water was pouring out from the spotlight (light pendant).
This has caused 3 different short circuits resulting to no light and has begun to effect the rest of the installation such as the the wall sockets in the kitchen blown and not working.
In terms of fault finding how do I determine if it is the water leaks which have
1) caused actual damage to the lighting circuit
2) any other tests to carry out appropriate in this case
3) what sort of remedial work is recommended
4) How the water leaks have effected the wall sockets
5) what are the implications if the problem is not fixed/solved
All input is greatly appreciated
