Water Leak
Well, the Plumber came a little while ago and had a look at the leak….
I must confess that I was kinda expecting a ‘Max Tennyson’, but instead we got a ‘Maxine’
Yep, we got a Female Plumber :-)
Anyway….
She dug down a bit to have a good look at what the problem might be, and, after a little while, she found what it was
Turns out that it was the problem of the Solder, in that, it was Soft Soldered, which apparently melts when it heats up
Gee….Solder that melts when it gets hot….who knew? :-p
Joking aside, yeah, that’s apparently what the problem was….it got too hot and that’s what’s caused the leaking
Well, that’s the simple side of it, anyway….
However….the pipe in question goes under the house….under the Foundation, in other words, so she has to come back with the right equipment so that she can cut the concrete enough for her to be able to get at the pipe in order for her to fix the leak, which won’t be until Monday :-/
She made the suggestion of keeping the water turned off until then….turning it on only whenever we needed to have showers, but Rent Guy said that he would be turning it back on as normal
I just had a look at it, and although the Plumber covered it back up as best she could given the circumstances, it’s still sprouting out :-(
Whether Rent Guy will end up getting charged for this, in that, whether it’s shown as being his fault, or whether it will be shown to be the fault of whoever put those pipes in in the first place (or, more to the point, didn’t get them changed to comply with whatever the current Regulations are), I guess we’ll find out in due course, huh?
