One of our clients contacted us after they had given in with other experts who had tried to find there leaking lead water pipe. The pipe had been leaking for years filling there cellar with water which had to be constantly pumped out. They knew the pipe ran beneath the block paving, gravel drive and probably a tarmac road before it got to the water main at the road. We took on the challenge of tracing it back and locating it so we could put a stop to all the water leaking. With the aid of a cat scan and a trusty JCB we carefully dug our way back to locate it and then follow it finding electricity various sewer mains and a gas pipe along the way.
We located the lead pipe hammered it shut temporarily before Anglia water are going to dig up the road to do it permanently!
All the block paving is going back down so we can leave everything as we found it just a bit dryer!!
