[QUOTE="kingfish, post: 3749261, member: 50496"] This happened to my house in Tulsa about 15 yrs. ago so I feel your pain. Once you have one leak, more will soon follow. I had three leaks in mine. One in the front yard, one in the middle of the living room, and one under the kitchen sink. The under sink was a near disaster. It broke just above the slab. I heard a loud whooshing sound and found where it was coming from spraying out at full blast. It was about 7:30 in the evening. Had it been a couple hours later after we had gone upstairs to bed, it would have flooded the whole lower level. This next part is going to sting a little I'm afraid. Back then there was a class action lawsuit against the mfg. of that pipe. I got my whole house re-piped with copper for free. Took them about a week to do it. It would have cost me $7K back then. The chances of joining that suit after all these years is probably a pipe dream (pun intended), but you can always research it on the interwebs. Whatever you decide to do I recommend you do it quickly. [/QUOTE]
