The homeowners at Hawkins Crescent did google the issue and tried to troubleshoot but couldn't pinpoint the fault, they were aware that both of them lacked any electrical knowledge so reached out to MES Electrical Services. Through our own investigations, we did conclude that an outdoor socket had degraded over time and was no longer waterproof, causing water ingress which resulted in tripping the MCB or Mini Circuit Breaker.

While at the property on Hawkins Crescent, all indoor sockets, lighting and consumer units were in good condition. It was only after inspecting an outdoor socket did we see the deterioration caused by general wear and tear. Water ingress had created a pathway for the live wire to make contact with the earth or neutral wire, the rapid surge in current caused the MCB to trip. The final steps for a fault finding electrician are the most rewarding as the issue has been identified and steps can be taken to make the property safe. In this case, we replaced the outdoor socket with a modern IP66 which was resistant against rain and dust.
