I thought pex was great have some in my house, but then someone on this website mentioned having a lot of problems with pex, started searching youtube and found pex is not that great,
Yeah... with copper, freeze prevention is pretty much required. Not usually an issue if occupied by the owner (hopefully not anyway), but renters can be a totally different situation.Fixed four different pipe bursts in four different houses. All were copper lines.
Pex will supposedly expand 4x before bursting.
Hmmm... other than cutting a trench in the slab, I don't know either. And for one isolated spot, I'd probably consider any/all options before cutting up the floor. Then I'd probably cut it anyway for peace of mind...The current line that is leaking is the kitchen sink, it's kind of on an island and there isn't a wall I can drop a new water line through to get to it, not sure how they would run it if repiping.
It could be possible with a decorative pole from island to the ceiling. The water line would be inside the pole.The current line that is leaking is the kitchen sink, it's kind of on an island and there isn't a wall I can drop a new water line through to get to it, not sure how they would run it if repiping.
My plumber found a leak in the main Pex line leading to my plumbing. Broke slab and they were within 6” of it once they broke concrete. They used a listening device. Impressed the crap out of me.I would imagine that’s what a plumber would suggest. Jack hammering up the floor would cost more I would think.
That’s a hell of an excuse just to get a stripper pole for the kitchen.It could be possible with a decorative pole from island to the ceiling. The water line would be inside the pole.
