The primary purpose of this blog is to track developments and decisions as we progress in the building of our new home in Canyon Lakes, Kennewick, Washington. And now that the project has been completed, the blog will be used to track the remodeling of our previous home.

Locating the Source of the Leak
Double A Plumbing removed drywall to inspect drains and discovered that the source of the leak was a cracked condensate drain pipe. The pipe was apparently cracked when the duct for the room vent was installed, either at the time of installation, or from the pressure that was put on the pipe, which made it vulnerable to cracking during cold, winter temperatures.
