Softwashing around wires?

Residential
1

Looking at the attached picture, what is the general rule for spraying wires around a house (both cable company wires that connect to the house, as well as, in this example, the very thin, droopy wire running across the siding, which is for outdoor security cameras)? I assume most wiring is strong enough to withstand the diluted mix, but want to make sure.

Thanks to @SchertzServicesLLC sharing his story (House Fire from softwash. MUST READ!), I at least know to spray lightly around that meter box :slight_smile:

Lastly, as far as taping/bagging, would you consider taping/bagging the meter box to be extra safe? And would you worry at all about that satellite dish on the roof (it shouldn’t get too wet, but will to some degree I’m sure).

The wire appears to be low voltage. It should be fine. Tape and bag the box!

I would just tape the meter, those are coax lines, I think you’ll be fine, I’m not an expert though.

Broke two little yellow flower pots today on both ends of a house. Didn’t see either of them. Thought of this comment.

Homeowner insisted it was no big deal, but now I have to find two tiny yellow flower pots so I can sleep without worrying if they were just being southern nice.
