The shower ran at a trickle and the kitchen had leaked twice in a month: seventy-year-old galvanized pipe, rusted almost shut inside. Patching it would only have moved the next leak along.
Because the house sits over a crawlspace, we ran the new copper underneath and came up through the floor to each fixture, so only four small openings were needed in the walls. Water was back on each evening. Pressure at the shower went from a trickle to a proper 60 psi.
