What happens here

Once your helper confirms the location where smoke is entering the house (in this case, from a ceiling light fixture), you have found the general area of the leak. To access the pipe, carefully cut a rectangular hole in the drywall ceiling around the leak area using a drywall saw or utility knife. Remove the piece of drywall to expose the plumbing and pinpoint the exact source of the leak.

Goal: Expose the leaking pipe for inspection and repair

Tools and materials

  • Drywall Saw — Cutting an access hole in the ceiling

What they say

Frank, this all is going good. Snakes and sparklers. She says it is coming out of the light fixture in the bathroom. Oh yeah, this bed pipe is completely disconnected. Right here. Are you serious? Yeah, 100%, it's not even glued. We'll put some glue on that and get her put down in there, and we should be rocking and rolling.
