Hi,
I'm looking to buy a flat in Edinburgh's New Town area and I'm wondering whether the tenement's rising water mains has been replaced or if it's still the old lead one. I've called Scottish Water and they said the street level mains have all been replaced, but they have no idea whether individual tenements' have or not.
I've taken some photographs of what I could without ripping up the whole boxing around the pipes within the stair. Maybe someone with experience could help out with advice?
I'm not sure if the picture is of the rising mains or of the waste drain pipe and whether it's lead or not...
Many thanks!
Michael
