Good morning all,
Although this is more of a plumbing question I wonder if the cause is electrical so I hope no-one minds it going here.
Had to go back to a customer the other day as he said water was leaking somewhere in his kitchen into the flat below, I was a bit worried as I had fitted a new shower room a few months ago, bit nowhere near the kitchen, but water can travel.
No it was nothing I had done, but on a section of approx 25 year old copper, the water main to the kitchen sink there were blemishes all along it, small blobs that looked like hard water calcium (we are in a very hard water area) and one was leaking, when I scaped them of the copper was soft and apeared to hole easily, just by digging it with a key or blunt metal.
Electrolysis comes to mind but can't think how.
Can bonding have any effect?
Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks in advance
Kind regards
David
