For the life of me, I will never understand why people would use plastic plumbing, let alone not insulate the areas that the plumbing runs through. Reminds me of my lazy boomer mother I made squirm for three days when the plumbing in my dead grandmothers home burst two winters ago. Just under three thousand dollars to repair burst plumbing, two mains, and pump a flooded basement filled with an additional two thousand dollars in drinking water.
From the look of the area, you got to it before you were anywhere near that outcome.
Oh yeah as soon as it happened I killed the main and it wasn't that bad, I replaced it with pex supposedly that doesn't burst but its still plastic.
Where are they using PVC for anything other than drains? I've only ever seen PVC used for drains, and it is fine for that as drains aren't under pressure. This is the first time I've seen PVC where it is implied to be a feed pipe and not be outside.
And before anyone gets all uppity about metal pipes, I had a copper pipe/fitting fail in a damn slab that was done in the 1980s so I don't want to hear it. Shit fails.
