Asked by Luke on 20th Jul 2021Best Answer
"Mains water pipes would only need to be changed if it is lead or if there is a leak"
Answered on 20th Jul 2021 - Member since Apr 2021 - report"Not sure what you mean? Are you referring to the LEAD pipe coming into the house or are you talking about turning off your stop cock ?."
Answered on 21st Jul 2021 - Member since Jun 2021 - report"Consider exchanging your water supply pipe if you are suffering with low water pressure, have or had a burst pipe as it will reoccur. Have a current lead or galvanised steel water pipe as both of these materials become rotten over the years."

Answered on 30th Nov 2021 - Member since Feb 2021 - report"Ideally to the internal stop cock. Unless you are renewing the main line then you would need an accessible working external stop tap"
Answered on 20th Jul 2021 - Member since Nov 2020 - report"You should remove the water line if it is in lead due to lead poisoning , or if your water pressure is poor so renewing the main to plastic will more than likely increase the pressure"
Answered on 6th Sep 2021 - Member since Dec 2018 - report"You haven't provided enough information to give a sensible answer?
Presumably, you are referring the 'water main' feeding your house?
Perhaps you can provide more detail what is you want to do it and why."
