Intrigue in the wall

To start working with a drill or punch, you need to find out about the presence of wiring and other communications in the floor and walls. This can be done through a thermal imaging survey; a special device such as "Woodpecker" or an indicator screwdriver (for wiring). As a last resort, you should resort to a simple analysis and estimate where the pipe or wire might pass.

Trumpet - half the trouble

In the wall, you can stumble upon water, sewerage and heating pipes. Accidentally piercing a sewer is the most harmless thing that can happen. There will be only a smell - there is no pressure there.

Plumbing is more difficult. There is pressure here, and it can not only pour water over it, but also close the electrician of the tool. And the most dangerous thing is a heating pipe during the heating season or hot water supply. If there are no instruments, you can at least feel the wall and roughly determine where the pipe with boiling water goes.

Posting is the most unwanted meeting in the wall

The drill spares nothing in its path, including wiring. Contact with the wire will not do anything good. The problem can be revealed immediately, which will be good, or maybe later, when this section of the network is under load. But "then" can lead to a fire.

An easy way to find wiring in the wall

If there is no thermal imager or a special device, you can find the location of the wiring using an indicator screwdriver. To do this, you first need to load the power grid at the place of search, for example, by turning on the light or an electric kettle in the outlet, and drive a screwdriver along the wall at the place of the intended wire. The grounding button on the indicator screwdriver must be depressed. In the place of wiring, the indicator on the screwdriver will light up.

Consequences of damage to communications

If the communications in the wall are damaged, this always threatens one thing - the wall will have to be broken at the point of contact of the drill with a pipe or wire, and then repair work will be carried out. It is always more expensive than finding communications in the wall. As a last resort, in order to avoid troubles with communications, you can call a specialist who will determine what is in the wall.
