Summary

Water leaking from the attic down to the bathroom can catch anyone off guard. We were called out when a client noticed water coming through the ceiling, signaling a problem that needed quick attention.

The Work

Traced the source of the leak to a pinhole in a ½ inch pex cold water line in the attic
Cut out and removed the damaged section of pex pipe
Installed about 3.5 feet of new pex piping to restore the line
Advised the homeowner on adding a water filter and softener for extra protection

The Outcome

The leak was stopped before it could cause more damage to the bathroom below. The new pipe section provides a solid fix, and the client now has clear steps to help prevent future problems.
