Hi,
im a girl and no nothing about plumbing but will try and explain as best i can.
I ran a bath last pm (took about 10 mins). When i went to get towel from airing cupboard noticed major leak everything in airing cupboard saturated and floor in room.
i couldnt turn stop cock off so phoned landlord. He came out turned water off and proceeded to fix the problem.
He accused my fella of tampering with the ball valve thing in the tank - saying it had been turned. Is this possible as i thought they were screwed into place?
I know nobody touched anything in tank so what could have caused it, and more importantly im scared to death it is going to happen again - could it?
I hardly slept at all last night worrying about it - ran bath this am and it didnt hapn again but i watched the tank consistantly coz im worried its not fixed properly.
Thanks for reading this, any suggestions would be really appreciated
