Hi all
I need some reassurance please.
I have just had a plumber in from British Gas to fix a leak in a copper pipe under the floorboards carrying cold mains water.
He cut out the section that was leaking and put in some new copper pipe with two joiner connectors (sorry don't know correct name).
However, one of these joiners at one end is weeping ever so slightly, but it is weeping all the same. I do not want to put down the floorboards until I am 110% confident that the join will hold. I have tried to tighten the valve but it is fully locked.
What should I do? I am VERY worried indeed.
Second problem is that the copper pipe is higher than it originally was and I am worried that pushing the pipes downward to allow the floorboards to go on top may cause damage.
PLEASE advise! Many thanks!
James
