Leak Update: Fixing a Leaking Copper Pipe

So I tore down the wet drywall to find... NOTHING! There are water pipes, but they are not leaking! ?? My next place to look? Leaking fridge upstairs perhaps......................
I did mention "another leaking pipe", because a few months ago I found damp drywall in my basement. When I ripped it down, I found that water had been collecting between the floor joist and the drywall. The pinprick leak in the copper pipe solder worsened over the months to follow.
To temporarily stop the leak, I purchased Magic Wrap. The leak was on a soldered joint, and two weeks ago, I finally had to call a plumber. Could I have fixed this myself?

Yes - with the right tools and a lot of practice. I had neither. Soldering torches are extremely hot, and until you are comfortable with one, you will want to get someone with experience to work the torch, particularly in tight areas.

Oh no! I have a leaking pipe!

Yes, it's true. I have ANOTHER leaking pipe in my basement! After getting a plumber in a week ago to fix a small leak in a hot water pipe, I arrived home last night to discover molding, sagging drywall and small puddle growing beneathe it! I actually thought I was dreaming. How could I have another leaking pipe?

Since I was already late for work, there was not much I could do about it this morning but shut the water off and come back to it this evening. Just how I wanted to spend my Friday night!
