Run Wire From Basement To Garagae Attic

My home was built in 1941.

Run wire from basement to garagae attic.

Go outside and lay the cable into the trench running it all the way to the garage. Running wire from attic to basement. Secure the cable to the overhead joists with cable staples. From inside the basement pull the cable all the way to the main electrical panel.

Bring all of the wire up into the attic. At the garage repeat steps 3 through 7 to install the plastic conduit and cable. I recently installed a motion sensored security light in the back of my house. It seems no matter what you will have to open a couple walls but might not be as bad as you think.

Secure the cable to the overhead joists with cable staples. The staple gun should be loaded with wire staples designed for holding the size and type of wire you are running. To run the wires inside rigid conduit you ll need a hacksaw a pipe bender capable of bending 1 2 in. I replaced an old flood.

If you have a rigid line then you can open up one wall on second floor to drill to attic and first and then drill up to first from basement. While one person holds the flashlight the other person should use a staple gun to run the wire along the rafters from one entry hole to the other. The total length of the run is about 80 feet. Go outside and lay the cable into the trench running it all the way to the garage.

You can get different sizes of pvc and you can run 2 3 lines in one run. If you have access to your basement crawl space and attic you should be able to run wires without having to cut patch any drywall. At home centers you ll find a variety of pvc fittings that let you turn corners and run the conduit exactly where. But running wire through pvc conduit mounted on walls and ceilings makes the job faster and a whole lot less frustrating.

I would like to have 2 15 amp circuits and 2 20 amp circuits in the garage. When necessary use existing ducts or pipe runs to get wires from the attic into the basement. I am in need of some help choosing the correct wire for my detached garage. On the first floor run wires up the wall from the basement.

My plan is to create a run from my main panel in my basement to the detached garage. Rigid conduit with an outside diameter of 3 4 in and a fish tape long enough to reach through the buried pipe.
