Hi all,
Woke up this morning, went downstairs to hear the distict sound of water through pipe.
No obvious leaks, nothing being used water wise so I turned off the stopcock. Sound continues.
Went outside to water meter- its still going round (slowly). Oh dear. Turn off main stop, and go back to kitchen. Sound has stopped.
So I've got a leak somewhere between the stop on the kitchen and the meter.
Water board are coming out Wednesday morning to advise, but its probably an insurance job involving a lot of digging out and upheaval.
Anyway - what to do until then?
I'm not prepared to go without water - but am I doing any real harm (other than to my meter reading(!)) by restarting the main supply until this is fixed?
If anyone has advice, or experience of the situation, I would appreciate their thoughts - particularly in the area of the repair side - ie cost/amount of upheaval etc.
Thanks!
