Question: Pictures speak for themselves.BTW, equipment is in a flood zone - water mark up about 3" on some other equipment in the room.http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a352/TonyPE/IMGP5580.jpghttp://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a352/TonyPE/IMGP5581.jpghttp://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a352/TonyPE/IMGP5582.jpg

The pictures you provided show equipment that has been damaged by water. The water level was high enough to reach the top of some pieces of equipment, and it appears that the water has caused some rust and corrosion. It is likely that the equipment will need to be replaced or repaired.Here are some specific observations: The first picture shows a piece of equipment with a water line about 3 inches up the side. The water has caused some rust and corrosion on the metal parts of the equipment. The second picture shows a piece of equipment with water damage to the electrical components. The wires and terminals have been corroded, and the equipment is likely not safe to use.* The third picture shows a piece of equipment that has been completely submerged in water. The equipment is likely ruined and will need to be replaced.It is important to have equipment that has been damaged by water inspected by a qualified technician to determine if it is safe to use. Water damage can cause electrical hazards, and it is important to make sure that the equipment is safe before using it. Flag for review
