Cables without conduit in the screed
Cables cast in directly cannot be replaced. In case of damage, they can only be reached by breaking the floor open.
Floor wiring done: the screed covers everything permanently
The screed seals this layer for good. Any later clarification means cutting the floor open. Plan 20 minutes today for photos and a quick visual check.
The most common expensive defects in the floor wiring
Crossings: too little screed above the pipes
Crossings that are too high reduce the thickness of the screed. Exactly there, the risk of cracking increases massively.
Crushed conduits in doorways
Many runs converge in doorways. A flattened conduit cannot be rewired later.
Missing labelling of the runs
Without labelling, assignment is impossible. Later, nobody will know which run goes where.
What you should document and check now in the floor wiring
Each room completely from above
Photograph the complete floor of every room. Ideally, choose an elevated position for this. This documents the rough routing.
All crossing points in detail
Take close-ups of all places where runs overlap. This is where the risk of cracking is highest.
Doorways and tight spots
Photograph each doorway individually in detail. Many pipes converge here and the load is particularly high.
Distance to wall with a tape measure
Place a tape measure and include it in the photo. This way, the distance to the wall can be exactly reconstructed later.
Check labelling and conduits
Check whether each run is labelled and undamaged. Report defects immediately. After the screed, it is too late for this.
After this the floor is closed
Upload your photos. Routing, crossings and conduits will be checked for typical defects.
