Hi all -
After about a day's worth of digging, I finally found the source of a plumbing leak I've been suspecting for about a month. Check out the attached pics.
This 3/4" pipe goes to our weeping wall, one of two that feed the water feature. The problem is, the crack is in a 90* elbow that goes right into the gunite after which the pipe then goes vertical. Any suggestions on how I can repair this properly?
- worst case, I figured I could just cap the pipe and just feed the water feature with just the other pipe and have a somewhat lop-sided water feature
- is there a PVC glue I can use to close the gap in the crack? The problem is, I don't know how far around the elbow the crack goes. I guess I could chisel some of the gunite below the elbow to find out.
I'm open to suggestions! Right now, capping it is tops on my list.
Thanks, all!
