The insulation material itself may be sound; the water sitting on or around it is doing the damage.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you suspect moisture, look for the obvious entry points first: damaged seals, cracked enclosures, condensation inside accessories, and cable run through standing water. Sometimes the reading recovers once the circuit dries out, which itself confirms moisture as the cause. Either way, the source of the water ingress must be dealt with, not just the symptom. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f769933 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"f769933\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bc9908f elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"bc9908f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">How Does Cable Age Affect Insulation Resistance?\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3c1dbb0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3c1dbb0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Older cable tends to give lower readings because insulation degrades over time. Heat, UV exposure, mechanical stress, and the natural ageing of the insulating material all reduce its ability to resist current over the decades.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rubber-insulated cables found in older properties are a clear example. As the rubber perishes it becomes brittle and crumbles, often falling away from the conductor when disturbed. Older PVC degrades more slowly but still loses performance with age and sustained heat. An installation that has run hot for years, perhaps from chronic overloading or poor ventilation, will often show the effects in its readings.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Age-related decline is one of the strongest arguments for periodic inspection and testing. A circuit that comfortably passed years ago can drift towards the 1 M\u03a9 minimum as the insulation ages. Tracking values over successive inspections gives a useful picture of how an installation is holding up, which is why recording actual figures rather than just ticking a pass box matters.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e1d0b72 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"e1d0b72\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"825\" height=\"550\" src=\"https:\/\/tradefoxapp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/imageedit_5_2171351054.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-19607\" alt=\"Physical Damage\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tradefoxapp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/imageedit_5_2171351054.png 825w, https:\/\/tradefoxapp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/imageedit_5_2171351054-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/tradefoxapp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/imageedit_5_2171351054-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/tradefoxapp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/imageedit_5_2171351054-18x12.png 18w, https:\/\/tradefoxapp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/imageedit_5_2171351054-600x400.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 825px) 100vw, 825px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7eabeb6 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"7eabeb6\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a123e0a elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a123e0a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Why Does Physical Damage Cause Low Insulation Resistance?\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-340fc76 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"340fc76\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Physical damage breaks the insulation barrier directly, creating a path for leakage current.

A cable buried in a wall or run through a floor void may have been compromised during building work months or years earlier, with no visible sign at the accessory.

A sudden drop compared with a previous inspection is a strong clue that something has physically damaged the cable since.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When damage is suspected, the affected section of cable usually needs to be located and replaced.
