| - We had two plumbers out here to try and tell us what the noise was coming from our master bath pipes before and they couldn't tell us what it was. KUDOs to Sheldon Babcock, owner of Babcock Plumbing, who correctly diagnosed the problem yesterday before he even did anything and today fixed it with no extra work to be done after him. He told us that often copper pipe is incorrectly installed in the ground (often stepped on or kinked by rocks and left that way instead of being more careful), and that the kink (which was pretty minor) causes turbulence, which can weaken the pipe wall, causing a leak. He was spot on! The leak was under the slab, in the dirt, underneath my wife's vanity in the master bedroom. He was worried he might have to take up some tile originally but was able to confine the operating area to under the sink, only having to cut through the bottom of the cabinet, installing a new access panel when he was done ( which is covered by a pull out drawer anyway) . Worth every penny... If you need a plumber in the Scottsdale area, give Sheldon a call! Also, props to The Locator, for finding the exact location of the leak, too!
