A little baffled at this one...
I’ve almost finished re-doing all my downstairs cloakroom and I have one 15mm copper pipe that is wet to the touch underneath the pipe. This pipe is the hot water feed to the room (not plumbed the sink in to run water yet, the pipe is cold and it’s isolated at the end where the basin goes), the wet pipe is at the other side of room where it comes in from another room.
There’s an existing soldered elbow to the left of this pipe, this feels drys
To the right of this pipe there’s a new JG push fit isolation valve that I’ve fit myself, and this feels dry.
It could have always been like this and I’ve just never noticed, weird how there’s no drips of water on the floor...
Can copper pipes leak from the solid lengths of pipe themselves somehow?
It’s about 1 inch above the floor and runs along a wall so seeing underneath it is near impossible...
