by gnvqsos

It is unusual for a copper pipe to be buried in a wall. Mortar and some plasters will corrode the copper. It is against building regs to do this now.

by fpyards

Yes exactly as you describe. The picture hook was pulled out, the leak was immediately obvious and the water shut off within seconds. The wall was a bit wet around the hole but that's it, no damage. No emergency plumber needed as it was safe to leave it until it could be looked at properly.

by Turbine Terry

For clarity - did the leak only start as you were packing up to leave and so started when you pulled the nail out of the wall? Did you quickly then turn off the water? i.e. not much water damage and no emergency plumber called?
