Based on the hole in the wall and what appears to be a silver solder job, I'd say it already looks fixed. [poke] Karl.

Just glad they use the long safety valves out here...pipe burst behind the faucet but before the bend. Just too bad it took nearly 2 weeks to notice it was leaking every time I turned on the faucet. Mold had started so I had to rip out the carpet/pad and throw them away. I'll be replacing the pipe, doing some drywall and texture, drying out the cement, spraying anti-microbial, and calling any carpet place other than American Flooring today.
