A water faucet can electrocute for several reasons:
- A malfunction in the building electrical system. If wires or other components of the building’s electrical system are damaged or malfunction, it could result in an electrical leak that could be hazardous to persons near the water faucet.
- Insulation failure. If the insulation of the water pipes is damaged or worn, it can lead to electrical leaks and the possibility of electrocution when you touch the tap.
- Improper grounding. If your plumbing is not grounded properly, electrical current can flow through metal parts of the plumbing system and become hazardous to persons touching the water faucet.
- Presence of static electricity. In some cases, a plumbing system can become charged with static electricity, especially in dry, low-humidity environments. This can cause a person to get an electric shock when touching the faucet.
In any case, if a water faucet is electrocuted, you should immediately contact a professional and not touch the faucet until the cause is corrected.
