I finished plumbing a new bath/shower about 3 months ago. Just recently, I discovered water leaking into the basement. After some sleuthing, it appears that the joint between the copper pipe and the brass dog-ear at the shower head has failed. I have 2 questions:
1. How did this happen? It was definately not leaking during the entire tiling process and for the first couple months of use.
2. Is there any way to fix this without ripping the entire wall apart and redoing the joint?
