hi wondering if someone can help with a burst pipe issue,
We have a shared 63mm main without our own toby and suspect the burst is somewhere where we tee off into the house as we can hear it loudest at the stopcock.
Problem is that the previous owner has built the conservatory over it.
I have dug up the pipe before it disappears under the concrete and found that it goes through an old clay duct under the conservatory.
So i think im left with 2 options, trench around the conservatory and reroute the main, or if possible, somehow reuse the duct and replace the section, either way i would be fitting a new tee and stopcock to a new location in the house coming off the point before i reroute.
I would rather reuse the ducting so the big question is, could i somehow get the section out of the duct that has the tee in the middle...
Or, could i cut the main on either side of the conservatory and feed a 40mm pipe through the 63mm to replace the section?
