We are beginning to hit a rash of rotting copper drain lines in ceilings lately.... lots of them....
. the leaks seems to always ocur between brass fittings in the short copper nipples.
We are getting mostly god awful messess in tight ceilings that the customer just wants a temporary seal rigged up to it... instead of literally tearing out the whole plumbing system.....
Basically a fernco clamp cut longways then wrapped on the pipe from brass to brass works with a lot of silicone..,,,,it seems to last 15 years or more
its like they are all starting to pit all at once throughout the city... most of it is about 1964-70 age
is anyone else running into this lately or is it just my turn???
