Hello, the title might describe the situation somewhat inaccurately.
The problem with our mid-terrace house is that an underground cable was laid to the carport by the electrician back in the shell construction phase (the end looks like it comes out of the ground at the carport). But since we saw no need for it back in 2005 and did not commission it as part of the electrical planning, the electrician (according to his own statement) cut it off/made it unusable.
Now the question arises whether I can still connect it. To my understanding, it was already in the ground, and he would hardly have dug it up to cut it. I guess he trimmed it somewhere on or in the house. My idea would be to find the spot of the house entry and either extend it again from there or lay it from that point to the fuse box. However, I have no idea where the cable might have been laid into the house. In front of the door is a house connection box. In the basement, only the Telekom cable comes out of the wall. Other than that, the wall is "clean" without cables leading into the house. Therefore, I assume that all cables go to the house connection box and enter the house together. Due to the location of the box, it looks like the main cable is led into the house at floor level.
Now my question (I have never dealt with this before): Are the cables in the shell construction practically located in the precast concrete ceiling under the screed? Is that usually done? In electrical installation, does the main cable go directly to the fuse box and get distributed there? Is it likely that an electrician lays the connection cable for the carport parallel to the main cable (if not – as in our case – the cable is not connected at all) and therefore it would no longer be led into the house with the cable? Then I could expose it at the main connection and then extend it anew and introduce it separately into the house.
