So... I found a ticking time bomb in my wall.

I don't know if you have a crimper but there are small "pocket-size" crimpers you can buy for around $30.00 or as you are doing the entire house, it might be worthwhile to either rent one from Home Depot or buy one outright. I've got a couple of pocket size ones and if you were close to me I'd loan one to you. I'm in MWC.
Thanks! I'm probably gonna just buy the tool. I know they're expensive, but I'll still save a ton by doing it myself.

Plumbing. Hate it. I'm in Stillwater, too. We remodeled and added on to our house a few years ago. Used the plumber recommended by the contractor. Last summer we started see water come up through the carpet on the other side of a wall adjacent to the plumbing changes we did. Dug into it and found a soldered joint NOT SOLDERED. Amazed that it held as long as it did. We have had good service from Shawn Hancock. No clue if he can get to you any quicker but he and his main hand seem to be good guys. PM me if you want the name of the "plumber" that left the joint un-soldered.

After. Pic 2 is what came out after I crawled under the house with a demo saw. At least two pipes were 95% plugged.

Glad that worked out for you. I am always reluctant to make recommendations in case it doesn't go well but I was pretty confident in Shawn and Chris.
