Hello, Ive got a problem with a leaky pipe and im in need of help, please.
The problem is i cant turn off the stop cock because it leaks, i cant see how to switch the water off outside of the property (i lifted the cover and it was flooded. i reached down and found the head of bolt whereas i was expecting a tap).
Ive tried a few bodges - i tried Ls-x but that was useless (i may need to apply more) and i tried some heavy duty sealant which didnt work. I tried tightening it but cant get it to move. one problem might be is the pipe is at an slight angle to the fitting. (my next step is to try and adjust this angle).
As i can see where the leak is in the sealant is it possible to "top up" the sealant.
whats the best way to stop a leak when you cant stop the water?
