What kind of person doesnt flush the fkin toilet when a camera is around???
They were trying to save water.
The loft water tanks always seemed unsanitary compared to straight plumbed fixtures. What are your thoughts?
Well they are the reason we have seperate hot water taps, they're not considered sanitary by law and so cannot be connected through a mixer tap with the mains due to risk of backflow.
I've smashed that like button just as hard as you smashed that leak.
Topman!!!! 👌🕵♂️
Cheers for the "no scare" Phew😅
Brave work removing the car charger, that leak must cost a fortune.
"Hot water tank" ... Grot water tank more like
Wow! That pipe was f***ed! Reckon the damage was done when the electric chargers were fitted?
As an electrician, I'd say it was near a fuckint certainty it was done then
@@darylsavage119 Same and same lol. The world is a never ending cycle of fixing other guys' garbage
The way you said you hate the spiders … you know you really despise the things 😂
Don’t hate the spiders. Name the spiders. It is much easier to appreciate our arachnid friends if they are called Maureen or Denis.
What an expert. I dont miss one new vid and go back to watch your back catalogue. Well done.
Great job and absolutely fascinating to watch. That plumbing all needs ripping out (everything including tanks) and new lines laid in from the service head it would not be that expensive. No chance of it happening though.
Nigh on guaranteed that damage was caused when the earth rod was thumped in for the charger, Later to me moved a bit when they realised they'd hit gold..
Still loving the delivery of your videos👍
Love the videos found you yesterday, Impressive stuff !
Love the added touch of the un flushed toilet 🤣
MG leaking water haha goes well together :D
is it safe to drink the water from those tanks? I definitely wouldn't after seeing the state
Lol do you know what state of your tanks are????😉
That's why there are separate water taps for hot and cold in the UK. Wouldn't conform to code anywhere else in the world.
@@ehsnils still, both looked disgusting
The answer is probably yes, but they certainly look disgusting and no covers, so a rat could fall in and drown and make people very ill. Horrible tanks, better off getting rid of tanks and just getting combi boilers.
UK Water Regs enters the chat.... I wouldn't be having a cuppa from there while waiting for my car.
omg the state of that great work 👍
Thanks 👌🕵♂️
600 litres an hour , just a trickle then 😂😂😂😂 nice work 😄
Ok but how do u locate that leak
Pipe was smashed to shite. Someone must have known they did that.
Probably happened when the charger was installed. Some people are oblivious.
We missed tracking down the leak and how you found it
How did you manage to find the leak?
What the actual fuck is this water system? When he says "lead pipe", is that just a colloquial term? Or does he actually mean lead? And those open top hot and cold water tanks - why?????
Actual lead... not really a problem. Theoretically you shouldn't have lead piping, but in reality it gets scaled up so there isn't any actual lead getting into the water.... after all once upon a time it was all lead ... hence the name plumber (plumbum is the latin name for lead)
@@delcat8168 Not true, lead pipes are far more dangerous than copper pipe.
So HOW did you locate the leak?
you said somewhere underground the pipe goes from lead to copper, is it safe to have water coming from a lead pipe?
Depending on where you are. If the water has the wrong ingredients (like acids) pretty dangerous if the water is not at all acidic maybe good enough. But here in Germany it would be illegal. But as far as I know in many less developed countries with lower safety standards it is legal (guess what's my thoughts on how developed the US are).
@@technikchaot Here in the UK it's illegal to install new lead in potable water systems, but there is loads of old pipework still in service.
There is a scheme to cover the utility side costs for lead pipe replacement, but it seems it only applies to domestic customers and you still have the cost of replacing the pipework on your side of the property boundary.
When I search for lead pipes germany I get a bunch of results from around 10 years ago suggesting that lead pipes are a problem in parts of germany. Has that changed?
@@petermichaelgreen I don't think it is a that big problem. At least in the western Part of Germany (not the DDR) it was forbidden to install new lead pipes after 1973 more than 50 Years ago. In the DDR it was for longer allowed, but far more uncommon to use such pipes because they where pretty expensive in the east. Most Cities will change their pipework after 30 to 40 years. So I would guess only some very few private properties have lead pipework and only if they haven't renewed it in the last 50 years.
@@technikchaot From some searching it seems we banned installing it in 1969.
Afaict most of the water mains have been replaced since then, as has most of the indoor plumbing. The problem is the service pipes linking the two. They tend to be both difficult and expensive to replace, and "out of sight out of mind".
