Hey to all!
New to the Forums....love all types of forums.....have helped us out of many a rock and hard place!
We found a leak in basement ceiling. After removing 2 ft x 2 ft part including wet area. We found copper pipe ...1 of 2 pipes.....is leaking slowly by dripping but enough to get ceiling wet and damaged. Area of leak on pipe is not near a joint or anything....just from small area of the pipe between two floor beams or joist? in ceiling .....about 6 inches of piping between the two beams. House is 25 years old however.
Here is the $22 question....
How easy to repair pipe.....and with what? I am thinking another piece of piping and soldering?! Any other suggestions?
Thanks,
Dave
