When decorating, the plumber installed the socket first, and then the plasterer hid a lot of putty powder in the socket. What should I do?

In the process of decoration, the plumber installed the socket first, but in the subsequent painting work, the interior of the socket was polluted by putty powder, which is a common problem in decoration. In this case, we need to take some measures to solve it.

First, we need to clean the putty powder in the socket. You can use a soft brush or vacuum cleaner to clean the inside of the socket, but try to avoid damaging the wires inside the socket during the cleaning process. If the putty powder in the socket is dry and hard, you can scrape it off gently with a small screwdriver, but remember not to use too much force to avoid damaging the socket.

If the putty powder in the socket can't be cleaned up, or the socket has been damaged during the cleaning process, then we need to replace the socket. In the local market, the price of general household sockets is between 20-50 yuan, while the cost of replacing sockets by professional electricians is about 50- 100 yuan. Therefore, if the socket needs to be replaced, the total cost is about 70- 150 yuan.

After solving this problem, we need to prevent similar problems from happening again from the source. In the process of decoration, we should first do a good job of painting, and then install the socket after painting is completed. This can avoid the problem that the socket is polluted by putty powder. If the socket must be installed first, we can temporarily seal the socket with plastic film or other materials to prevent putty powder from entering the socket.
