![]() Hi,
Our Texas Tornado-bait double-wide mobile home (which is totally paid for, as is our truck) came with blue butyl water pipes. (The maker of these butylene pipes got sued into oblivion, btw.) This kind of pipe, as it ages, develops leaks, which start out as pinhole leaks and later turn into the kind that sank the Titanic. (That's why the manufacturer got sued into oblivion.) We've had these kinds of leaks on a regular basis over the years. Leaks under the floor, leaks under the sinks, leaks in the walls (the kind where the plumber says "You'll have to make a big hole in the sheetrock so I can work"), leaks everywhere. (You may not believe it but whenever I go into a bathroom to take a leak and the carpet isn't wet I say to myself "Happiness is a warm, dry rug.") (As opposed to a cold, sopping-wet rug...) Anyway, if I was having your problem I'd use my T-handled water-main key to turn off the main water supply, then my wife would get on the phone and call either of the two plumbing companies we know of who, thank G-d, are willing to stoop so low as to work on mobile homes (we've heard "We don't work on mobile homes" a lot from plumbing companies--they usually don't even apologize). Good luck! Let us know what happens, OK? Best, - Boyd |
