Then they found this:
And THAT little piece of mouse chewed plastic is going to cost hundreds, if not well over a thousand dollars, to replace.
Why?
Because it was part of the waterline connecting to the icemaker and the mouse put a tiny pinhole in there which has apparently been leaking water for some time. The floor underneath the fridge and cabinets is rotten and now needing to be replaced, likely out into the kitchen as well. The wall is heavily mildewed and water damaged. Linoleum likely will need to be replaced, cabinets moved, insulation under the house replaced, I don't know all yet.
All because of a 2oz mouse and a .50 piece of friggin' plastic.
It's always something.

That's the endearing thing about plumbing. It's never just the problem itself, it's the problem and everything in a 10 foot radius around it.
After a couple of these it's easy to believe that bringing water indoors was a bad idea.
When you replace the line, put it back as copper!
Yep, that truly sucks... Time to get the mouse hunt on!!!
Time to get some .22 rat shot and stake out the kitchen. Next the little bastards will be on the cabinet eating your bread.

They the exact same thing to me only it was the washing machine.
