Hot water heater leak
shmokes:
oh . . . it was big. I get the impression that when she got home it had more in common with a fire hydrant than a pinhole leak. The hole in the wall was huge.

It does happen... we had a tank fail in the apt we lived in a few years ago. We woke up to two inches of water in most of the apartment.
I'm thinking I want to get two years out of this water heater. After that, it will probably be time to replace it. Don't want to have a crappy tank wreck all the cabs/stuff in my basement.

We had a pinhole leak in the crawl space under one of the bathrooms. It was costing us an additional $10 a month. For the life of us we just couldn't figure out what was going on. Just a stupid solder fitting on an elbow gave. :banghead:
ChadTower:
Did that cause any mold issues?

On my current bathroom renovation, I took a break of about 2 weeks after finishing some plumbing. I walked out into my garage on day and noticed a wet spot on the floor. I looked up and noticed the drywall on the ceiling was sagging and leaking!! Apparently, while wiggling around an exisiting water pipe we opened up a pinhole crack in the pipe. I had to tear down 2 sheets of the ceiling, and there was about 2 inches of standing water sitting on the ceiling. Good stuff...
