I have a cold water supply pipe clogged with rust and mineral deposits. Its reduced to a dribble. The toilet and tub in the same bathroom are flowing fine. I removed the shut off valve, and inserted some wire into the pipe, but I cant get it past the 45 bend about 6" into the wall. Is there a snake that will negotiate this corner, hopefully 2-3 feet into the pipe? Or do I have to be a plumber, crawl into the crawl space with the spiders, remove the back wall of the vanity, and replace the pipe? Or fish a flexible supply through the wall and floor to the basement where I can make a new connection and cap off the old one?
The threads on this pipe are referred to as 3/8. But the pipe looks like 1/2 copper diameter. Looks like 1/2 ID.
