AArrrrrrghh, customers stop tap not working, so I turned off supply using the boundary box stop tap, I turned it back on and the gland is leaking badly, the clay pipe 'box' is full of water.
When I quoted for the job he showed me were the house stop tap was and told me it worked fine, I had my suspicions, the patina looked about the same age as the house (1925). I knew I should have tested it.
I could have just ****ed off but I told the customer and he was very understanding, I told him he should boil his water while the water level remained above the stop tap and he agreed to contact severn trent.
I'm seriously considering purchasing a pipe freezer, this problem is all too common round these parts (Birmingham).
Any one got any comments
