With all the house structural changes it’s confusing to think about the changes needed for the water, drainage and gas.
So whilst surveying the drain with a camera we realised that a root had penetrated the pipe! So our priorities had to change slightly and focus on our new family bathroom sooner than we expected.
So today the guys were tasked with digging up the utility room floor to run a new soil pipe…unfortunately we didn’t expect that there would be water pipes in the floor but there was and the hot water pipe was ruptured accidentally. I wasn’t home, but thankfully they worked out how to turn the water off, to stop the flood! 💧💦💧💦💧(Not sure I would have been any help anyway!! 😳)
When I returned they were so apologetic but as I said ‘these things happen and it can be sorted’. A phone call to our trusty family Southend, Essex plumber Nick Bettis at ICUPlumbing@hotmail.com he was super calm and came to the rescue.
See ‘you don’t have to be a firefighter to be a hero’ – lucky for me I have a firefighter hubby anyway, but he was at work so Nick was my stand-in! 😂
The morale of this is to have a strong team of reliable people to help in any emergency and have phone numbers saved to your phone.
