    This was a big job and having to patch up the ceiling afterwards is alot of work. I think the most difficult part is figuring out the source of the water leak and hoping that where you open up the ceiling is close to it.

      I was lucky enough to find it on the first try. And you are right, fixing that ceiling was no joke.

    Good job. I use alot of the Pex pipe for my water lines in the remodels I do. Its strange to see it have a leak in a place where there was no connecting fitting. If that was a copper pipe and was located in a place where it could have froze I could see that type of problem but since this is Pex pipe which expands 10x its original size when the water inside of it freezes without bursting the problem you had is really rare. But for whatever reason you did have a leak and you used the 1/2" Shark Bite slip repair joint very effectively. 👍 Thanx for the video.

      That’s what I was thinking! Pex line is pretty tough stuff.

    Wow.. seems like a lucky solution to what could have been a bigger issue. We have water coming out by the truck loads from the second floor into our kitchen from a second floor kitchen that's a rental. So we've yet to find the source of the water yet. The house is 150 years old so I don't think it's going to be quite as simple to fix, although I don't want to take away from what a great job this person did. I'd say taking cate of a leak at the very first sign of one is of most importance, will save a ton of money on replacing further damage.

    Flushed toilet and left out. Came home an hour later and living room has flooded. Maintenance came turned the water off from the toilet and left. About an hour later a flood of water came pouring from the ceiling. What can be the issue?

    • @diyelie
      @diyelie  Год назад +1

      I’m so sorry for that situation. I wish I could help but I think a professional plumber is your best bet to figure out what’s wrong. I hope it’s resolved already since it’s been 3 days.

    • @MsCoolVibez

      The ceiling caved, maintenance arrived. They gave me a fan and a bucket and got the pieces of the ceiling that fell. This was 3 days ago, haven't heard from them since. The upstairs bathroom is soaked an smells horrible.

    Job was not finished thats why it was leaking the screw from the sheet rock was screwed right in to the pipe so what he should have done was move those clamps up with the hoes so that when je did install the sheetrock it wouldn't go right back in to the hoes
