The Bitcoin Plumber to save the day! ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ”ง An older couple called about a leak so bad they had to turn off all their water in order to prevent the continuous leak. ๐Ÿ’ฆ We need our day a little later than usual so that we could get to these folks and make sure they had running water in their home again. ๐Ÿ  The pipe that burst was probably due to a combination of erosion and freezing. ๐ŸงŠ Master @Grover cut out the old pipe and had me cut new pipe to replace it. image Then, like a superhero contortionist he soldered the new pipe in where the old pipe was. I forgot to mention the location of this pipe was behind an old water heater placed in a corner. Talk about impressive! And, now we can sleep tonight knowing those folks have running water! #Plumbing
Time to remove a saddle valve that was originally an old ice maker line. image Make sure to turn off the water and have a bucket to catch what's left of the water in the line. image Now, it's time to cut the pipe right along the hole that was punctured into the water line from the saddle valve and clean the copper pipe with emory paper. image Then use flux paste to prepare the pipe and coupling that will be used to connected the now cut pipe. image All that's left to do is solder the pipe and coupling together! Time to turn the water on to check for leaks... image No leaks! Not bad for an apprentice. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ #Plumbing
We returned to a client who's been having issues with smells in their home for quite a few years. We came back because smells persisted even after Master @Grover replaced the vent pipe in the attic/crawl space. The wall was cut open to find a hole the size of a quarter in the back of the pipe. Source of Smell Found! Time to get to work and replace the section of the pipe we removed. #Plumbing
New fixtures in old places makes me think of the phrase: "When the carpet doesn't match the drapes." #Plumbing

Sometimes it's cold, windy, and there's a little snow on the ground from the night before, but you've got to get underneath that trailer in the middle of nowhere and install the DWV System (Drainage, Waste, Venting) โ„๏ธ #Plumbing #Cold
