I needed to fill a bucket up and hooked my hose up to my outdoor hose bib. I turned the water on and there seemed to be a lack of pressure, I then noticed water pouring out of the joint between my stucco and foundation. I then went inside to find a lot of water coming out from behind the drywall in the basement.
We had an early snow storm and I think my hose may have been hooked up still at that point. I am guessing I have a burst in "freeze free" hose bib. There is duct, and drywall, hiding the plumbing from the basement side. My plumbing is pex. Is this something I can repair without tearing out the drywall and duct work?
I am almost done taping so if I need to start tearing out duct work and drywall I would prefer to do it now not later. I am a tile contractor and pretty capable but no plumber. Should I tackle this myself or call a pro plumber?
Thanks for the help,
Bryan
