Dan’s job notes
What brought us out.
Water was leaking into a bedroom ceiling at this Malibu home. We opened the drywall and checked the attic space, where we found a leaking one-and-a-half-inch copper water line.
What we did.
We cut out the damaged section and installed new copper pipe and fittings to address the leak. Getting access to the pipe was an important part of making the repair.
The total for everything we did on this visit was $1,243.12.
A ceiling leak calls for finding the source before closing things back up.
Find the source first.
Water can run along framing before it shows on a ceiling, so the leak has to be found before the drywall goes back.
