Call for an insurance claim to rewire kitchen that Flooded. I will state my Concerns as such.
1: Outside Panel is an Old Zinsco Panel. Not enough spaces.
Would you Add a new breaker off an old Zinsco Panel, I usually make them change it or don't do the job.
2: all old wire circuits are running behind Ceder shanks and are well bellow 1"1/4 protection.
Originally done this way just don't want to be blamed for some old bad wiring.
3: Old NM with No EGC needs to be re-fed with New NMB.
Is replacing a bad section of old NM considered Extension for 250.130 c?
4: Lights/outlets for bed also feed bathroom.
Once again not my doing but once I re-fed the old lighting circuit I should technically correct this since I touched it.
Normally I would give them a large bill to replace everything and make it current, Though I am doing this job for a GC that works for Insurance and seems to pay very well. But insurance will only cover what was DAMAGED not this other items.
There are other multiple code issue that I can safety stay away from.
Any ideas.
