Plumbing

Posted by Vyvyan Harris, on
I have a leak in exposed water pipe. ( exposed because it brought a section of ceiling down ), the pipe is corroded and capped off. it used to run to the emersion heater, therefore has a bend on it before the cap. what can i do ?

HI Vyvyan if the leak is at the end of the capped off pipe it may be possible to cut the pipe back a bit further and re-cap it, if there isn't enough pipe before the bend to allow this it would be best to get the bend removed and replaced with a straight section. Get a plumber in to do this for you, they will advise on the best solution. Ed
