Hi all,
I had evident water damage to floor and drywall around an exterior faucet. I’ve opened up the wall and have confirmed that there is no split or leakage from my the frost free valve or supply connections.
Supply is with 1/2” copper from slab. Where the line exits the slab, water pools after cleaning it out several times. I have closely monitored my meter with not as much as a single tick on the drip dial. I’m starting to speculate encroaching groundwater, as it has been extraordinarily wet here.
Thoughts on my troubleshooting and recommendations on sealing the rough-in space around the supply line? Considering hydraulic cement, but not sure if I wasn’t it on the copper line.
Thank you.
