Made a step towards being ready to accept foam as my solution of choice today. Entire house has Type L copper but acidic well water. Had the first pin hole leak a week or two ago so I decided that if I'm going to spray, I'm replacing the plumbing that runs in the garage ceiling. Ran PEX from the main line to the shared wall for both bathrooms and up through the floor into the exiting copper plumbing (it's a crazy collection of intertwined pipes that haven't leaked yet so I'll deal with these when I have to)
PEX is so damn cheap but according to my research the only fittings that don't restrict the ID of the pipes are the push-fits which are more $ than gold.
Couple hundred $ later and my potentially risky copper and freeze prone plumbing are no-more (although all my waste and vent pipes are still copper.)
I'm going to see if I can get someone to quote ~$3k for the job with closed cell and if I can hit that target, I'm thinking I'll pull the trigger.
Rest of the ceiling is coming down this week.
