another electric question (home improvement)

[Captn. J]

i had a plumber come in and run me some water lines and he accidentally drilled into my bathroom elec line and knicked it   didnt cut it   , but the lights went out and i checked the breaker  they re fine and  since that  i couldnt get electric working in my bathroom     what went wrong , i thought it only will trip the breaker?   any other ideas?

[HockeyGuy]

is there a GFI plug in line somewhere before the breaker?

[dirtydog]

burned out that side of fuse box mayb. power out anywhere else

[Captn. J]

nope and nope ... just the bathroom alone   i know the breaker has bathroom and one more room with it but all work fine just the bathroom isnt getting electric .... and  i dont see no gfi inline before the bathroom   ...

When he knicked the wire it probably broke one of the wires.

[Captn. J]

i havent looked but he said he didnt broke or cut any of em    i will be looking into it tomorrow after work... just busy as hell

[J.C.]

Id tell him to come fix it! He broke it!

[Captn. J]

yeah he said he will pay for it  but dont know crap about electric so i m trying to fix myself since ii do know some basic stuffs   and i ll get money in my pocket not hiring a electrican

[Crazymays77]

can you get to the wiring that he hit?

[Captn. J]

can you get to the wiring that he hit?

yes i m sure  just i ll hafta get to the attic and take a close look n see if he cut it or not

[daytonaman]

I would replace the wire he knicked anyways. Its a fire hazard

[Thumper]

replace the wire he probally broke a wire and doesn't realize it. check close electiricity is no joke to not have right especially in your home. good luck be sure to turn it all off before you start searching

[RIP_K52007]

if you know any electricians just havem fix it and shoot out a bill 100 over. Its a win win. LOL Might want to shut that breaker off just incase that wire is in there shorting out.
I know I've never blown a breaker here before and I've had enough draw in the kitchen to shut the tv off in the living room.

water lines in the attic?

[bmwallace_88]

could of also just burnt out one leg on the breaker, ive done in before running a new power line for a heated tile floor, hit the switch wire, replaced the wire still had no power, ended up slapping a new breaker in it and it worked, might not be your case but its possible, and chances are if he knicked the wire, he broke it. i just ran a junction box and rewired where the break in the line was.
