I’ve been using a wallpaper stripper today and water has run down the wall and got into a double socket and tripped out all my sockets. I’ve turn the mains electric off, removed the face plate from the socket and dried it as best I can without disconnecting the wires. Question is how long am I going to have to leave it before I can switch the power back on and see if it’s worked?
