What it all boils down to is this. If you think that riding it out for a while, putting that repair you think you might need on the backburner, is the way to save money—you are absolutely incorrect. In fact, all you are doing is making the need for a more expensive heating repair in Ludlow, VT, more likely.
Plumbing leaks are a major drag. There is no getting around that. There is also no getting around the fact that plumbing leaks can and do happen. You’re going to deal with them eventually.
