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.


If the conduit belongs to the provider just let them fix it. If it belongs to you the water isn’t going to hurt the fiber, the next pullbox or manhole is probably already full of water.
