Terraced house so can't do that! Don't think there is an easy solution. AH well next door has it worse off as they have the drainage run under their house (this was also leaking and caused a bit of settlement a little while ago). Who knows what lurks beneath when you are buying into a...

Thanks for the advice. Not 100% sure its lead but don't think its alkathene. Unfortunately there is a coupling under the floor. There is a bit of gynastics before the pipe gets to the riser so if lead becomes brittle then it has probably been replaced at some time (without them doing the...
