I was wondering if someone could give me info on our pipes. The mains supply tap, (fitted into the living room wall) is very old. This is where we turn the water supply off. It started leaking and we got the plumber in who tightened some bits. The leaking has stopped.
We are concerned though, because he mentioned that the pipes were not copper pipes, which if a problem occurs again would need replacing. How expensive would a job like this be? The house is just over 100 yrs old, would it be lead they used?
We need to know because our shower has started dripping through the ceiling, and in order to rectify this, we need to make sure we can turn of the water supply when needed.
PLEASE HELP!!!!
