We've got a house on an ancient slab (no drains, etc.) - actually on multiple slabs because the place was added onto a few times. I installed a toilet 5 years ago and the thing never leaked - but some water drained into a low spot on the concrete (from the kitchen, I think) and there was a...

I'm thinking you've gotta be right - but it sure as hell looked like water. I did NOT wipe the pipe before turning on the water. It's like the Twilight Zone around here. Like I said, I turned the water on and had zero leaks. Twenty minutes later, I walk in there and water is beading up on...

I'm a self-taught "non-plumber" but I'm, generally, pretty good around the house - and our house is so screwed up that anything I do makes it better than it was... Tonight, running out of pipe, I didn't push some 1/2 inch copper all the way into a ball valve and I think that it caused the pipe...
