Bit of a weird one

[Alan Mutlow]

Just had a call from customer and they have reported, multiple sockets on house giving slight electric shock and sparks?? Not come accross that before. Static? But doesnt explain sparks. weird.

Will check continuity of cpc, one of the sockets they mention is metal plate but the others are white

Lets discuss lol

Not possible to discuss without input from a competent person and no I don't include your customer in this catagory!

Could be poor Earthing/Bonding?

 

[Alan Mutlow]

I am thinking no continuity of cpc. but still odd

Lets discuss!!!! .... you mean do a full test of the affected electrics and dont leave site until you know your customer is safe or you have disconnected temp for further investigation, where is this problem at now ?

They're probably whipping the plugs with a load still on it

What exactly is / could be happening while you're "discussing" the problem??

I'm thinking, that they should wait untill the flood waters have subsided, then dry the sockets out.
I was going to suggest with a hair dryer, but perhaps not?
