The end of pipe was only into the valve a 1/4" and then soldered.
Wow, I can’t follow this story, but it must make sense to plumbing pros, so more power to ya.
Tree root pop it ?
Does the home have a main water valve downstream of your leak ?
Neighbors close by ?
Turn the meter off, turn the homes main water valve off.
Connect a water hose from the neighbors hose faucet to the home with the leaks hose faucet. If it has backflow device on the hose Bibb of the leaking house, you’ll have to remove it.
This will backfeed the leaking house and give them some water.
That might buy you some time.
