| I recently purchased my home. Just noticed that the incoming water line has some funky cast over it like it was repaired. It appears to be leaking a little bit as it and the floor around it is wet. Any ideas about what I have going on here?

| I guess what I really want to know is what I am getting into in repairing it. I wonder why this strange gauze was used, and if the leak goes down past the floor. |

| Could be condensation and an attempt to limit it. |

| So has no one seen this type of repair before? I am planning to remove it with a razor blade and see what is inside so that i can attempt repair, just want to make sure I know what I'm getting into. I can't quite figure out why someone would repair in this way. |

| No idea. It will be great if you posted up your findings though, for future searchers! |

| As brickeyee said, are you sure there is actually a leak and it's not just insulation to (unsuccessfully) stop condensation? |
