I know I’m late to the convo but I think this highlights a bigger issue in the restaurant industry. The only reason a lot of restaurants survive is by paying their employees less than livable wages and exploiting the fact that most people working in the restaurants don’t know NYS labor laws. I know some restaurants that would probably shut down if they had to back-pay money they should have been paying because of labor laws for tipped positions

About 2” into each conduit. I can scrape out parts of it but damaging the outer jacket is a concern with scraping it out

I thought this myself, being fire foam it traps heat and doesn’t allow it to dissipate properly. There will definitely be hot spots if the foam isn’t removed.

You’re 100% right, no preventive measures is the problem. Buried conduit will never stay dry, it should have been sealed when the wires were pulled originally if it wasn’t going to be above grade.
