How would you fix this?

1. how the frick did that happen
2. I don't think the electrical company owns that part, and even if it is the power coming in it's probably still you and your electrician who have to deal with it, after you get the power company to disconnect you.
No idea. This was from an inspection report of a house I am buying. I have line mans gloves rated to handle the current but I'm rightly terrified of getting close to that.
I'll probably have to call an electrician to come by and remedy that or make the seller fix it.
make the seller fix it.
Be better off getting a quote from a sparky, ask them to deduct it from the price, then go spend a couple bucks on this
and pocket the difference.
Rubbers are rated for voltage, not amperage. moron.
I've worked 14 years for multiple utilities doing service work and I've never once inspected customer equipment that wasn't readily visible. We aren't going in anyone's house.
>moron.
Would
>uses 'amperage'
>calls others moronic
lol
Yeah, it's a commonly used word in the real world, along with voltage and wattage.

doubt the bank would give you a loan with an electrical issue like that
you need to have the seller fix it
Bank didn't give a f**k btw.

free is always a worth a try
otherwise get an electrician, dont do that work yourself unless you are licensed
This basically.
I put a straw looped and aimed down so the pipe could still breathe, then sprayed some expanding foam, then sprayed some truck bediner stuff.
This shit sucks. Had a hole in a garden hose, the Flex Tape (tm) barely wanted to stick, so I wrapped the frick out of the sides of the Flex Tape (tm) patch with duct tape, turned on the water with a sprinkler, and it promptly started expanding like a balloon and popped a hole right through the Flex Tape (tm).
Only reason I had it around was the clearance bin at Walmart. That shit is expensive and I’m so glad I didn’t pay much for it.
>Can I tell the electrical company to come out and fix their shit for free?
Possibly but be forewarned that any time you have a utility out to inspect electrical or gas service they will inspect your side of the installation and may red tag anything they see that isn't to their liking.
This is especially true if there's any kind of animosity involved or demands for satisfaction, even when the problem is clearly theirs.
If there's still time to make the sale contingent on this getting inspected and fixed then that's an option, otherwise it's your problem.
We put in a repair counter offer with the seller. Will see if he's willing to fix it. Really the only super dangerous thing wrong with it and it didn't even fail the inspection that the lender cares.
Cut the wires, add a junction box, splice them back together.
Split conduit or split duct.
You can also get couplings for it.
Electrical supply stores should carry it.
It's kind of unreasonably expensive but at least you don't need much.
It's after the meter, so on you.
This is what you want.
I'm personally more concerned about the coax that loops behind it.
This. After you put it on, seal the joints with self-amalgamating tape so it is waterproof.
Could just get a top hat made from sheet metal to put over it?
This is load side of an overhead service, it's your conductor not the electric company's. You call your poco, request an outage for repairs. When you're disconnected you will unbolt the load side conductors, pull them out of the base, slide conduit and a connector over them, then reattach.
If it was me i would get an appropriately sized diameter of the same electrical pvc conduit that has a bell on the end. Then i would cut off a piece with the bell end on it long enough to slip up into the fitting in the meter panel as well as slip over the lower piece with the full flared bell section. Then i would put a single slit in it and spread it enough that you can slip it over the wires and existing conduit. Put the slit towards the back and no one would probably ever even notice.
Try and pull that conduit upwards until it fits fully inside of the connector. That pipe is not connected to anything below grade. When you are certain everything will fit into place in a level and clean looking manner, secure it to the PVC connector with PVC glue, and appropriate sized 2-hole straps found in the electrical aisle at Home Depot.

Just letting y'all know the seller is fixing it before we move in.
