Well, it happened. Due to three leaks at fittings on the hot water line, the PEX pipe sprung leaks. Tt turned our crawl space into a sauna in the winter cold..
The PEX pipe showed decolorization and stress fractures.
Due to a well insulated craw space, the pipe leaked for some time. Three walls will have to be removed due to mold buildup.
Our furnace, water heater and my custom workbench that I built, all need to be moved. Not great with weather in the 20's.
We live in Oregon. Oregon was not involved in the class action suits against PEX.
I am looking for advice and direction on how to recover my financial loses. Has anyone experienced this problem?
My wife and I were told by two independent plumbers to replace everything. We decided to go forward with the replacement.
That alone will be 17k.
I am pushing 76 years old. We had our house built so we wouldn't have these problems. So much for that plan.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks for listening to me whine.
