I am building a front extension and after laying the foundations i have discovered the mains supply to the house has sprung a leak.
I have dug down just on the outside of the foundations which are a metre deep and located the pipe. My question is can i divert the pipe upwards and then into the new extension and reconnected at the stop cock, not sure if the pipe needs to be a certain depth before it enters the house, or will i have to dig the concrete drive up approximately 10 metres and reconnect to the existing pipe.
