The call came in at twenty to two: water through the hallway light. We talked them through turning off the main while the van was on its way, which saved the floor.
The supply line to the upstairs bathroom ran through an unheated corner of the ceiling and had split along a foot of its length. We opened the ceiling just round it, cut out the split section, soldered in new copper and wrapped the run in insulation so it won’t freeze again. Water back on at four, photos sent to their insurer before breakfast.
