A sound no homeowner wants to here is the sound of water spraying inside a wall. That's what I heard last night. Ran out and shut off the water to the house. Cut the wall open and found that that damn crimped polybutylene pipe they stopped using years ago had sprung a leak.
I've already had to crawl under the house and replace some of it with PEX but I should have just done it all. It's not if but when that crappy pipe fails. I just haven't been willing to tear open the walls to replace it but It's now a priority summer project to replace all that crappy pipe. I have a roll of PEX so I replaced the run under the house to the kitchen while I was down there. This was the hot water from the water heater. I'm sure glad they had everything I needed at Home Depot. Sharkbite fittings make things easy.
I'm also glad I worked construction years ago. At least I'm able to do things myself. It would have been $500 if I had to call a plumber.
