What to do if water flows through the switchboards?
Hello! Our roof leaks and water flows in the entrance along the shields and in the apartment where the distributor box drips. Tonight something thundered three times in the entrance, but the light did not turn off. Tell me how to be in such a situation, scary, can we catch fire? What to do in such a situation? The management company does nothing. Please tell me what could be the consequences of such a leak and in an emergency, what should I do?
Moisture penetration is dangerous due to electric shock, since moisture conducts electricity. Also, if moisture gets in, there may be a short circuit, the appearance of an arc, which in the end can lead to a fire. Also, moisture is dangerous because if it gets on electric devices they will not work correctly and probably in the event of a short circuit or overload, they will not work, which will damage the wiring cable and also cause a fire. In order to avoid negative consequences, it is necessary to immediately solve this problem - eliminate roof leaks. Contact your parent organization as this situation is life threatening.
