i have a pressure type noise coming from the pipe that runs from my toilet into the ground...there's nothing visible but the noise sounds like water running/tap pressure,could there be some kind of leak? thanks Lloyd
get someone to help you when you turn the water off, set up an upturned bucket or something in the sink put a glass on the bucket (you need to set the height so that the glass is submerged in the running water from the tap), run the tap then turn off outside and leave the end of the tap submerged, IF you have a leak the water will be syphoned out of the glass back into the pipe as the leak is lower, might need to leave it for a wee while if the leak is slow.
well,thanks for replies...i turned off the main stopcock and the noise has stopped.Around the pipe where the noise comes from is bone dry so could it be underground someplace?The water board have put a letter through the door saying that my meter is running a little high and so i thought it must be the noise thats causing the problem in that area
