Damaged pex lines
Woke up this morning to find water on kitchen floor, area about 1 foot by 3 feet. Had been raining and blowing all night so thought I had slide leak or something but turns out it was coming from island. Found both hot and cold pex lines that go to the kitchen faucet had been scared. The cold side was leaking. Why it hadn't leaked prior to this I don't know. Picked up a couple of compression pex shut-off valves, cut out the bad sections, and installed to get water back on. Had to hunt around for a small section of 1/2" pex because I was too cheap to buy a 5' section. Buddy had a piece but before I could get back in business had to put stuff away for company arriving. Somebody at the factory must have nicked both lines with a knife or something. Also picked up three water alarms which Menards had on sale. Put on under each sink and one behind toilet.
