The master bathroom rainshower head has had a slow drip for a while and I've been meaning to find a plumber to get it fixed. That became a no big deal scenario last week when the husband came home from work to discover the dry cleaning bag in the master closet was sitting in a puddle of water. Which led to us finding a couple different places where water was slowly bubbling up out of the tile joints. Long story short, we had a leak in a copper pipe running from the tankless water heater into the laundry room, which backs up to the master closet.
Once we realized this and started looking more closely at the flooring, we realized the saltillo tiles in the hallway to the garage were also wet. Plus there were a couple puddles in the laundry room, too. Thankfully, a work buddy of the husband's had good experiences with a local mom and pop plumbing company. For five hours of work, we got the pipe replaced. Plus the shower head drip was fixed and an exterior hose bib that had been dripping for months got capped off. And it was all taken care of for a surprisingly reasonable price, by a younger guy who was just really sweet and explained all of the plumbing issues and fixes in a way I could mostly understand. Now I just need to get our old contractor in here to patch and paint the three holes in the laundry room walls where they had to diagnose and run new pipe.
