See that right there? That's a pinhole leak in a galvanized pipe. I have a friend, they sent me a picture while I was at work and I said, hey, we've got water going everywhere. This is a repair that I've done many times over. I'm sure a lot of plumbers have in a quick pinch and it works for a long time. Just go ahead, shut your water down. I'm gonna go open some faucets. We'll get this drained out. We need an old piece of hose and a hose clamp, a worm clamp, right? One little piece of that. We'll grab our worm clamp. You just wanna make sure that you have the clamp right over that little hole. You had a screw gun. This would go a little bit faster, but it's gonna be good to go. And this is a very quality temporary fix. So now we're able to go ahead, reach back here. We're gonna turn the hot water back on. I'm gonna go ahead and let the water run for a little while. Make sure there's no leak and then we'll come back another time and we'll put something different in here than this galvanized.
