After 30 years one of my jobs fails

[Nige F]

Went to a leaking CWS cistern in a farmhouse - I`d fitted it 30 years ago - the plastic cistern was leaking onto the chipboard platform ( blame the chippy for the chipboard ) What had caused it Woodworm - made 3 or 4 holes through the chipboard and carried on into the plastic . Pleased to say my guttering from 1973 is still good in a nearby village

Woodworm....a likely story. I hope you didn't have the cheek to charge him after only 30 years.

Hope you repaired it under warranty?

Micky mouse materials if you ask me.

So woodworm chewed the plastic cistern.....

Interesting,I went to a semi a couple of years ago that had a leaking domestic tank in loft, tank had been laid on a sheet of ply that was infested with woodworm, bottom of tank looked like someone had been playing darts on the base.

I suppose 30 years ago he would have been excused for not knowing that chipboard is not allowed.

I doubt that proper marine ply is eaten by woodworm.
