We did turn it off once we knew what the problem was, but it sprayed underneath the house for about 2-3 weeks before we discovered it.

Another thing I just thought of...

Rental units have to be inspected before they can be leased. There would be a public record of this at your city hall. It is possible that the landlord did not have this inspection done before you moved in. This could get him/her in a lot of trouble if, let's say, you should you accidentally (wink, wink) tell the authorities.

Do you know if there were tenants in the home before you moved in? Sounds like maybe it was vacant for awhile, like over the past winter when the pipes froze. Based on the timing of when the inspection was done and of course if it was done, you may or may not have some leverage.

Something to consider...
