[QUOTE="Phoenix, post: 504153, member: 8133"] I thought the trick was to come up with some wording that almost does what they ask for, without telling any direct untruths "Following the incident, we measured the insulation resistance of many cables on the affected side of the building and found they measured low enough to be considered defective, it is known that this type of cable, over time dries out, but even in this state, will continue to provide service for a good number of years, but can fail instantly if moved (modern plastic based cables offer increased performance and do not generally fail in this manner). Is is possible that vibrations from the incident, being of serveral orders of magnatude greater than that which the building would be exposed to on a day to day basis has triggered the cable failures which occured immediatly afterwards, there may also be further instances where failures may occur in future months caused by damage which is not yet known." You then price them up for a rewire at a bit higher than normal rate [/QUOTE]
