Got my first freeze job today. At my house. The renters downstairs came up after I got home today and said that they had turned the water off because water was spraying everywhere in the garage downstairs. Same pipes I capped off last January when the outdoor shower pipes burst started leaking again.
I had put sharkbite caps on the hot and cold after tearing into the sheetrock to stop the madness last year. This time the sharkbite on the cold side failed with several short splits a quarter inch apart all around the fat part of the fitting. I removed the destroyed fitting and replaced it with another one just like it, and called my son in law, the landlord. Should I charge him full price for a service call?
