I am pulling Cat6 low voltage wiring through my finished home. I accidentally drilled a 1/2" hole through the top plate and just below a stud.
The home is two stories plus a basement. I drilled from the basement to the first floor on an exterior wall. There are two stacked top plate 2x4s. I measured the hole depth at 3" so if I hit the stud it should only be by a small amount.
Should I be worried about structure support?
If so, what can I do to remedy the situation? I am trying to avoid ripping up any flooring, if possible.
Thanks.
