Trying to disconnect the illegal electrical wiring to prevent a future fire in a residence. This is what I deal with in DuPage County sometimes. If a fire or "spark" hit in this residence it would be a major blaze due to all the flammables on the basement floor. This is my life, trying to prevent major electrical fires. The owner was notified & forced the tenant to clean this mess up or be evicted.

Once again I ran into an electrical service panel over a sump pump & water, highly against code, but it also has highly flammable things stored right in front of & under the panel. A fire bomb in the making. There are safety codes for electrical panel clearances, and for keeping combustibles/flammables far away from the service panel. [see photo for clearances per code]
I will help this homeowner. Most homeowners don't know the electrical codes, so this is a common mistake putting storage in front of the service panel.
I found a main utility wire burning up inside the service panel, at the main breaker, you can see the wire's insulation is melted off. It's already arcing/sparking, most of the lugs are also rusted out, and it's about to start a fire while the occupants of the home may be asleep at night. The main breaker & the service panel are now junk & it needs to be replaced/upgraded. The new service panel needs to be installed to the left & have the proper clearances per code [see photo].
There are still many houses in Addison, [& the surrounding area], just like this one that are fire traps due to the unsafe clearances around the service panel .
If you want your electrical service upgraded, a home electrical inspection, or code violations corrected for safety then call DH Electric Co.......I will treat your home just like mine & give a fair bid. Owner/operator, 40 years experience, Addison resident, Dino 331.452.4849
