So I have a half inch copper hot line run from my unfinished basement through garage along peremiter wall, then to outside shower.
There is a shut off valve in basement that was almost shut but not completely. The outside shower has a valve with a drain thingy on it which is open and the lined drained before winter. I was in garage and heard loud bang, discover this pipe had burst in two spots, at two different times. First spot is in garage along wall, us dry there now, scone place was 1 foot from the shutoff in basement which is in the 60's. No evidence of ice at the rupture, I can take a pic and upload, how could his happen?
