evidently getting regular water pressure again stressed the old copper pipes. so i have a soggy laundry room. and as if that wasn't enough, i've tried to get the computers up and running but nnnnnoooooooooo..... we can't detect those video cards....and even if we could...noooooooooo. |

Must have water. Crunchers? Things will eventually level out and all will be right. But when? |

evidently getting regular water pressure again stressed the old copper pipes. How bad is it? Did they burst at a seam, or what happened? The mind is a weird and mysterious place |

lots of pinholes at high pressure... ended up cutting water off and taking entire length out and replaced it with pvc. as for the crunchers...i think i was pulling too many amps from one circuit. |

lots of pinholes at high pressure... Gotcha. I worry about those little pinhole things on my copper pipes. I've got a couple of them, from seeing mineral deposits on the pipes, but they have been self-sealing. The mind is a weird and mysterious place |

no such luck here...fortunately i had a cabinet door open or the water would have hit the breakers. still running towels thru the dryer from soaking up all the water. i'm having a heck of a month. |

I'm sorry to hear that, Phud. I have inside and outside plumbing insurance though the local water company. It covers my outdoor water supply pipe and sewer line on my property, plus a leak situation inside, and clogged drains - which I have used - and it's great - no deductible. The mind is a weird and mysterious place |
