π¨ Leaking Stopcock Call-Out π¨
Got called out to a property with a leaking stopcock behind the kitchen units π
As you can see, the original valve was heavily corroded and past its best β years of wear had caused it to seize and start leaking π§ Not something you want to ignore, as it can quickly turn into a bigger issue.
π§ Carried out:
β’ Isolated the main water supply
β’ Removed the old, seized stopcock
β’ Cleaned up the pipework
β’ Installed a new 15mm lever valve for easy future isolation
Now the system is fully watertight β
and much easier for the homeowner to operate if needed.
π Tip: If your stopcock is stiff, leaking, or hasnβt been used in years, itβs worth getting it checked before it fails completely.
Another happy customer π
