Any recommendations for a plumber?
I think one of the later pipes in my basement has a hairline crack in it. I found water on my utility room floor. I was able to hear a misting type of sound coming from the ceiling of the utility room. The weird thing is that it seems like the water pipe goes into some air intake vent and that's where the leak is. There's very little water on the floor joists as far as I can tell. It doesn't seem like it is the hot water tank leaking, but I could be wrong and I have a double whammy.
After trying to trace the source of the water, I shut off the water main and drained the water from the pipes. I also shut off my hot water tank because the water was dripping down right on top of it. Is there anything else I should be doing to prevent further damage?
