Goldurned fricking faucet leak in the Bathroom

[RossKean]

Just a note on PEX! There have been issues (including a class-action lawsuit) relating to failures of some brass fittings that are used with PEX systems. If you have problems or questions about it, start by Googling "PEX Lawsuit". This is a fairly big deal in some areas where contractors used fittings made by certain manufacturers. Some friends of mine discovered a leak shortly before they were planning to sell their house and they ended out by completely re-plumbing it before they could sell. Property condition disclosure documents would have indicated the problem and they would not be able to find a buyer in the current condition.

Remind me to never get drunk and spend the night on Fooshee's bathroom floor! For the record, I hate bathrooms because of **** like that (the pun is noted, but was mostly unavoidable).
We just had our first floor ceiling repaired because our bathtubs relief valve had a screwed up seal. Took a long tome, but sporadic drops of water, from the second floor tub, finally made their way through the ceiling. Thankfully it is an open area and no mold was found. It was a way easier fix than I was expecting. Now that tge texture is dry, we just gotta paint the patch.

Made me think about a certain scene from Breaking Bad.

Just be glad you don't have David Copperfield's problems (probably not the name on his birth certificate). While he was in Las Vegas performing, the rooftop pool in his "8,000 square foot penthouse" busted open in Manhattan and drained into the whole building, damaging apartments 20 floors below! How would you like that mess?

Anyway, glad it was covered, John. Sudden leaks like that usually are. Long slow leaks, like the one in the shower in my 60+ year old house, that led me to recently demolish the walls and floor of, not so much.

That leak should be covered Mike. We have some friends that were out of their house for a couple months while the mold from a pinhole leak on the wall was cleaned up. It was thousands, and their homeowners covered it. Covered the cost of the apartment they had to live in during the lengthy repair.

Our leak was long and slow too. Probably leaking since the day we moved in and it took 12 years for it to finally breach the sheet rock. State Farm said it was covered, but I know a guy who knows a guy, and it cost us $70 to get it fixed, so no insurance claim.
