Luckily they were able to figure out what the problem was so they could get it fixed and continue working. My husband works in a shop and they are about to expand, so I imagine they will have to also upgrade the piping.

Guesses made with no basis in data are seldom as good as we would want them to be. The posting verifies this assertion.
In the electrical area we have a policy in place to not cut the wire until we know how long it should be, and what gauge it needs to be.
