Hello Again.
When last I saw you the nightmare of plumbing problems for our main water line had finally been resolved. Since that time, 2-4 more leaks developed in that mysterious black pipe that led to digging up the area and patching with some VERY expensive clamps made for that purpose. Now ANOTHER leak. Seriously. The guys dug it up again and I want to replace about 2-3 feet of the evil pipe that runs under the patio right before the regulator (?) to the house. I want to get copper because I hear that tree roots don't love it as much. I just want to know if there will be any problem joining the copper pipe to the evil black poly pipe. I can't afford to replace the whole run. I just want to replace the area from the house and 10 feet or so out from the patio so I don't have to keep digging it up .
