Plumbing Emergency

[filkertom]

Not dire, but dire enough. Water heater dripping substantially out of an apparently broken pipe cap, rug soaked through, standing water around heater, landlord on the way. Everything else on hold this evening.

Update: Looks like it'll eventually be all right. Overflow pipe cap, apparently. Me being utterly mechanically inept, the landlord figured out what to turn off. Now I've gotta Shop-Vac up some water, and the plumber should be by in the morning. Sigh.

Ick. I hope it's a quick and cheap fix.

Good luck with that. We just got done dealing with a similar, but far more insidious, version. Here's hoping yours turns out much less costly than ours.

This conjures unwelcome images of the swamp I had in my old living room which forced my move in April.

Ugh.

I hope no books or papers were in the way.
