    Water leak outside property

    Ha easier said than done cutting back to undamaged pipe. Shortly after picture it disappears under a flower bed with trees in there then under a paved area before arriving at the garage. The scores scrtaches are not bad just that a slight score I have found can make an O ring seal not work. I...

    Water leak outside property

    Just another matter. The pipe coming from the garage is shall we say marked/scored so I doubt a normal 20mm MDPE would seal well enough. What I am therefore thinking of is a 20mm brass compression fitting, do they exist?

    Water leak outside property

    Finally traced leak with aid of a CAT4 cable tracer and genny. Problem was with fastening ring on a Philmac universal transition joiner. The ring had split for around 50% of the circumference. Attached is a pic of current state. Original feed from meter now terminated with a stop end on a JG 3/4...

    Drainage inspection chamber

    Was sure I had posted a photo with cover,frame fitted and then with patio slab on top. No idea where that went to. All went fine, made a change.

    Should I insulate vent pipes in loft (from DHW cylinder and central heating)

    For what it costs insulate them if only for peace of mind in a cold snap.

    My first experience with CheckATrade

    Bit late to the show but I would have beeen wary by the very fact they could come around the next day. I had similar with a tiler from Checkatrade. Promises promises. One reason for not attending one appointment was he had forgotten it was his birthday. Who writes these scripts?

    Water leak outside property

    MDPE HDPE whats in a name. šŸ˜€ Too many other things to be getting on with so no way will I replace the black with blue would be over 40m needing replacing. The black seemed to compress yesterday very nicely and resumed its circular shape. All I want is to find the leak sort it and fill in all...

    Water leak outside property

    So bit the bullet and used the squeeze off tool. Was hesitant as to if it would damage the pipe, I need not have worried. Warmed the pipe up a bit with a heat gun and it shut the water flow off a treat. Took it off and put back on at 90deg to previous position to get rig of the slight kink in...

    Outside tap lost pressure since cold snap

    Yes get an isolation tap with a decent body and handle. These screwdriver ones are as stated crap.

    Water leak outside property

    Right an update. Dug out a few holes and found a T piece outside where the water enters the property. I knew there had to be a T somewhere as supply also feeds an outbuilding. Now the pipe is black 3/4inch MDPE and the T piece is an equal brass compression fitting. As far as I can see 3/4in...

    Drainage inspection chamber

    Have bought a 600 x 600 Clark Drain galvanised cover and frame. With a bit of fettling of the surrounding ground should be ideal.
