Hi experts - really need some advice on my issue.
Wife heard a hissing noise and the carpet all wet. Had no water for last 48hrs and after ripping a hole in the wall I've found a soldered elbow leaking on the underside, it goes about 10cm off the floor beneath the bath and up to shower.
It's low down so may be the original fitter had problems heating up. There are scorch marks on the wall I just ripped out so guess it was fitted in situ.
I can see the same issue getting heat on it, even worked from the other side now I've ripped the bedroom wall out (bath all fitted, big job to take/break out).
So.. can I cut out the elbow, and maybe replace with a compression elbow?
Thanksinadvance.
