What to do if the phase in the wiring of the apartment has disappeared?

Bath, kitchen, toilet, lighting was gone. An electrician from the Criminal Code says that the phase has disappeared, suggests laying the wire from the nearest outlet and laying the wire in the box, is that what they are doing now? Easy way and not pretty. Somehow it does not cause trust. What kind of a problem this might be initially, a wire break somewhere, contact with the cartridge. Checked only in the shield and in the switch. What should they pay attention to in order to solve a problem? Do not judge strictly, in electrics, of course, I do not understand, but I want everyone to do everything correctly and safely. It’s just hard now to find pros in your field.

    Hello! Since the electrician suggested, this is the most extreme case, so to speak, a temporary solution to the problem so that the light is there. But of course, this is not a way out of the situation. As I understand it, only the light disappeared and only in three rooms, right? He checked the switch and in the shield, what did he say? In the shield, the wiring is divided into groups (different machines for light and sockets) or what? It is necessary to determine exactly where the phase disappeared, in which area. To do this, find junction boxes on each of the rooms and check the voltage on the supply wires. Most likely the contact in the junction box, from which the wiring goes to the lighting of your three rooms, has disappeared.

      Thank you very much for the prompt response. I checked the switch, I also checked it in the switchboard with an indicator screwdriver, but not for long, said that there was no phase, there was a 3-key switch, argued that maybe the repair was done at the top, got into your wire ( but people only glued wallpaper there, if the floor was changed, then there might have been a small probability), he asked, no one poured from above, nothing got water, but there were no bays.) What seems to be no phase switch, disappeared. But, and so he did not check anything else.

        It is not necessary to check the voltage with an indicator screwdriver, but with a tester. The indicator often lies. Need to watch junction boxes.
