Question:

Help!! Water from the upstairs bathroom is flowing into the kitchen through the light fixture!!?

My toddler was having a bath and I was in the bathroom trying to figure out how the window sash comes out (another story all together!). I figured out that he took a couple tumblers full of water and poured them outside the tub (even though he knows he's not supposed to!). The water, I think, flowed down the toilet inlet pipe to the kitchen ceiling below. I turned off all the lights at the breaker, thinking it's a fire hazzard because of the water on the wires/ light fixture. WHAT SHOULD I DO NOW?! Now that the watter stopped dripping, I'm thinking I should remove the fixture and let the area dry out. If I remove the fixture and cap the wires, I can turn on the breaker so the other lights on that floor can be turned on (and finally fix the floor in the upstairs bathroom, of course!). Is there anything else I should do?Thanks!

Answer:

You can buy what is called a saddle clamp in the plumbing section of any hardware store, believe me you ain't the first one to pull off that bone head move
contacts are still the best way to go - because the visor is going to be curved, his vision could be distorted - contacts are actually on your eyes should distortion is at a minimum
Yes, cut the bad part out, get a piece of new pipe and 2 compression fittings and fix it. Home Depot or Lowes has the parts you need.
if you can get into it cut the pipe and use a sleeve on the pipe or you could try jb weld.
Just make sure you turn off the water ! The other guys opinion was my opinion too.
