Good Reason to Worry About Roof Leaks |
|
|
This winter I've had three outages caused by water leaking into the bldg
and causing the jacks to corrode to the point of total damage. That's
more than I've had in a decade at work. No problem replacing a few
dollar jack. But with the near record setting rains we had, these kinds
of problems should have been taken care of if roofs and exteriors had
been maintained better.
But it didn't occur to me that things could've been much worse if more
water had leaked until I read this article. Of course the rain water
isn't as potent as urine..

Well, if you are in a part of the country that suffers from acid rains,
you may find that it's only slightly less potent than a Japanese kitten's
urine ;-)

Hey! That's a brilliant thought. The rain probably has a high
concentration of acid from the pollution, smog, etc. And that would
explain why the damage is so total to the jack. I found that the two
center gold plated wires were completely gone, replaced with a pile of
black corrosion. |

Any salts, or solubles, in the water will increase its' conductivity.. |
Presumably your centre pair is carrying 'phone signal, hence has a
potential on it? - One slight 'hole' in the plating, and you have bi-
metallic corrosion. The metal would also tend to migrate to the cathode,
just like electro-plating.
