When
you are going to repair home phone line, there are
a couple of things you will want to do.
First you need to understand where the problem
might be. To do this you need a few
tools. You will need your basic screw
drivers and a phone line network check
tool.
You can buy this at
your local home depot. This tool will allow
you to make sure all of the phone lines are intact
and working properly. If you are not sure
about using this tool just ask the home depot
person how you can or read the directions that
come with it.
The
Instructions.
-
One end of the check tool will
need to be put in the phone jack and the other
you will use at the phone box to repair home
phone line. Listen for a tone after you
hook it up. If you get a tone then all is
ok with that phone line. Make sure you
check all of the lines in your home, some lines
can be crossed causing others to go out.
-
Make sure you also remove the
covers of all the phone line jacks to inspect
the wiring. Just do a quick look over to make
sure each wire is intact and connected to the
actual phone jack.
-
Make sure you inspect all the
lines everywhere in the house. Pull up the
rug if you have too.
-
Look for any wires that are
cut or frayed and replace them.
-
If the lines look old they may
also need replacing.
-
If you have a pet look for
anywhere your pet may have gotten to the line an
chewed it up.
-
Don't forget to inspect any
wires outside of the home.
If you still have
trouble it is time to call your local phone
company. The can come out and check for the
problem usually very fast. The downside to
this is, if the problem is in the house then you
will have to pay them for coming out.
You can inspect the box
outside the house looking for bad wires, however
do not open the box. This is the phone
companies job and they don’t like you opening
their boxes.
Just remember to
inspect everything inside the house when you try
to repair home phone line. All the wires,
jacks, etc. If you can’t find the problem
then it’s more than likely an out side
issue.
This should help you repair
home phone line.
