Electrician needed - Thorough diagnosis of intermittent circuit fault

$500

McKinnon VIC 3204, Australia

17th Feb 2026

I need a licensed electrician to thoroughly investigate and repair an intermittent fault on my power points circuit (circut number 5 in the photo, covering most house outlets) in my double-storey double-brick house (100 years old, extended and renovated 30 years ago). The issue seems to be rain-related: The number 5 circuit tripped the main switches during light rain on two separate occassions. First time (2 weeks ago) the tripping persisted until overnight reset, second (1 week ago) only after 30 minutes. It happened even with all appliances unplugged. Rain today caused no tripping, confirming fault is intermittent. Previous electrician attended but wouldn't investigate without active fault. I need someone patient and methodical to do thorough and full diagnosis (insulation resistance testing, visual inspections, circuit tracing, rain simulation if needed etc) on a dry day (when no fault is active). Budget is indicative and please provide breakdown. If it's difficult to quote fixed price, please advise your rate and estimated time for thorough testing. Many thanks

Great work and very methodical, highly recommended
