Electrical wiring

[Lin Normy 0]

I feel the wiring job in bathroom is very messy and unsafe. Here is the reply from my electrician:

" In the ceiling area, its common to see wires criss crosing the drain pipes. They can be siting on top of thr drain pipe or  tape to the drain pipes. Not an issue and do nit contravene any of the electrical guidelines. "

What is your comment for this wiring ?

Thanks for the comment. 

What happen if those pipe leaks ?  I am worried about that case, the electrician fixed all wires on ceiling as I insisted.

these 3 core electrical wires are insulated with an outer layer with the individual wires inside again insulated.

your toilet will have false ceiling installed after works are done right?

so unless you are so lucky to have some kind of creature which is able to chew through the false ceiling and then subsequently chew through the electrical wires and also possibly cause a leak in your plastic/copper pipes, I would say the chances of a leak from your pipes causing electrical short circuit to your insulated wires is extremely low.

if you are so concerned about this, then don't even have electrical wires running in your toilet ceiling. cos the chances of water leakage from your upstairs neighbor floor through your ceiling is much higher than leakage from pipes.
