water pipe just burst
« on: 16 May 2009, 22:00:10 »
sat in the front room watching tv
got the kids to bed nice and quiet
till i herd a pop and a hsssssss sound
i thought the washing machine had broke as that was on
but as i went into the kitchen water was gushing from under the cupboard
i turned the stop tap that is at the back of the cupboard and it still gushed out
i called the council and they said 3 hours :o
i called the water board and they wanted £53 plus the vat just to turn the water off :o


the council finaly turned up and ripped the kitchen apart to get to the pipe that had burst and took it out and changed the pipe and went

left me in a right mess to clean up

I know what disaster is that flooding..Many years ago when I was in fathers home, they cut the waters irregularly and open it at midnight ..I remember how many times I wake up in water  and try to clean home with sleepy eyes.. :(
