Question

My electric plugs have water dripping from it since morning. Can anyone adv me on this. Oh yes.drops of water

Answer 1

I can guarantee that the water is NOT stray electrons mixing with hydrogen and oxygen and making water.

I can, however, guarantee that you have a water pipe leaking or a leaky roof. TURN OFF THE BREAKER(S) for that circuit, find the source of the water and call a plumber or handyman and get the water stopped. When the wall dries out, THEN turn the breaker back on.

Answer 2

The upstairs tenant has a plumbing leak and water has gotten into the walls.  Call you landlord or building superintendent.

Answer 3

Were they switched on?  ok if so, switch them off at the mains.  Pull them out and dry them.  Test the socket with a table lamp (plug it in and switch on at the socket, then switch the mains back on.

If the lamp doesnt work you might have to call an electrician.

It may be nothing but better safe than sorry.

Answer 4

make sure you turn off the power and then find out where the water is coming from.

Answer 5

Switch off at the main,Quick and call an electrician.Water and electricity don't mix.
