    Electric Shock from Tap in Shorouk?

    A shock when touching the tap means electrical leakage or a faulty earthing system. This is a dangerous situation requiring immediate intervention.

    What's the Real Cause?

    Current leakage from a connected appliance (heater or washer) traveling through metal water pipes to the tap
    No earthing at all in the apartment, so stray current has no safe path away
    Damaged internal insulation in the water heater element, letting current leak directly into the water and pipes
    An earthing connection exists but with high resistance (weak earthing), so it can't divert current efficiently

    When Do You Need Immediate Action?

    Tingling or shock when touching tap or metal sink
    Shock from washing machine, AC, or refrigerator
    RCCB trips when washing machine or water heater is on

    Our Fix Process

    1Measure the existing earthing resistance to confirm efficiency or detect its complete absence
    2Insulation test every circuit connected to a water source (heater, washer) to precisely locate the leaking circuit
    3Repair or install new earthing to the correct standard where it's missing or weak
    4Re-test the tap and metal appliances after repair to confirm no shock remains

    FAQ

    Why do I get a shock when I touch the tap?

    There is leakage from an appliance traveling through water pipes, or the earthing is missing/weak so it can't divert that current safely.

    Is a mild tap shock dangerous?

    Yes. A mild shock signals leakage is present. If load increases or body resistance drops (wet hands), it can be lethal.

    What is earthing and why is it important?

    Earthing safely diverts stray current to the ground instead of through a person. Without it, shock is inevitable when leakage occurs.

    How do you fix the shock-from-tap problem?

    We test the earthing, measure its resistance, find the leaking circuit with insulation testing, and repair it.

    Do you cover Shorouk?

    Yes, we serve Shorouk and all surrounding areas.

    Can this be dangerous even if the shock feels mild?

    Yes, a mild shock is a warning sign of real leakage, and it can worsen over time or with added moisture.

    What does new earthing installation cost in Shorouk?

    It depends on the building type and whether earthing already exists. We confirm pricing after on-site inspection.
