Hi Sparkies

I have hit a fibre network conduit in the garden but luckily the fibre isn't damaged. There is an old, redundant copper landline cable in there that I damaged.

My question is, can I patch the PVC pipe and walk away leaving some residual moisture trapped Inside? Or will the whole section need replacing and sealed up?

I have opened a support ticket with the provider and awaiting the official report on repairs.

Another fiber-seeking backhoe mishap.

Close, it was a crowbar and shovel to plant a wisteria.

Careful with wisteria, its dangerously invasive some places.
