Thankfully not literal shit. But this pipe has seen better days for sure. The house my family and I live in was built in the late 40s. This pipe seems to be original.
My wife got home around 5. Said there was a huge leak in the bathroom. Water running through the ceiling.
She said she got it stopped.
Ok.
Well I was still at work until 730 at least. A friend stopped by to see if it was a simple fix. Nopppeeee. It was spraying water everywhere again. Shit.
He turned off the hot water and stopped the major leak.
I got home, got briefed and started putting stuff back together.
As I was screwing the connector back on something didn't feel right... Turns out the pipe is so old and rusted it was breaking apart as I screwed.
Thankfully we don't own the house and our landlord should work with us, but nevertheless this going to be a more involved repair than just re-taping and re tightening. Out of my league for sure...
