Pipe burst - need advice (picture attached)
We had a pipe burst in the basement. It was the feed line to the outside faucet. It must have frozen during winter and when we needed to refill our pond it blew wide open. Needless to say it flooded our finished basement and made a mess.
Our finances are extremely tight and I was wondering if I could replace that ruptured pipe myself? I've replaced our toilet and done both the kitchen and bathroom sink plumbing, the garbage disposal, showerheads, and of course the new toilet.
It's just a 10" straight piece of Cu pipe that has to replaced. Is that doable by someone with my moderate experience? If it isn't, what should it cost me to have a plumber do it?
Thanks!
