Green goo, also referred to as cable greening is a green, jelly like substance which can ooze out of outdated electrical cabling.
You might notice green goo around sockets, switches or even the fusebox. The substance is actually made by a chemical reaction between the plasticiser component used for the cable insulation and copper which is found in electrical wires. As your experienced electrician Ringwood, Carlyia Ltd have been called by homeowners concerned about the strange green substance. We know that older properties developed between the 1960s and 70s may have PVC cable wiring so are more likely to ooze the green goo from electrical wiring.
Why might I need a local electrician Ringwood?
As locals to the area, we can reach customers in a prompt manner which is essential in emergency situations. A local electrician can provide aftercare as well as electrical maintenance if required. As part of the community ourselves, we’re happy to tailor the wide range of services on offer to help our customers. Whether you need rewiring in a downstairs bathroom or outdoor sockets installed, we cater to the customers specific needs. We attended a property on Highfield Road after the homeowner noticed a green residue around a socket in one of the bedrooms. What surprised us was that modern cabling had been joined onto poor quality wiring, probably by a cowboy electrician. As green goo can become conductive, the substance can increase the risk of electric shocks and injury.
