UPDATE: Check out the worst wiring jobs after they've been cleaned up.

Installers love to see their great work. But what about the not-so-good work?

Most installers have probably received calls from consumers who are freaking out because their system, for some unknown reason, just isn't working properly.

Only does the root of the problem become so obvious after going to the jobsite: the rat's nest in the basement, the bird's nest under the stairs, or the installer who just didn't care.

We've rounded up 10 of the worst wiring jobs, ranging from systems destroyed by floods to an award-winning installer who is ashamed to admit he owns such a disastrous system.

Click here to see The 10 Worst Wiring Jobs.

It would be interesting to see what the after photos looked like.  These are definately a mess, but what does the dealers idea of a clean up look like?

Not sure what happened to my comment.. Heres the condensed version. This pic looks like the cable and phone company are to blame. The rest of the wall looks fairly neat and only the phone and RG6 are out of place.

I have a 9 year old install that looks the same way every time i do a service call. I put everything back like it should be and its as big of a mess the very next time i visit.
