Leaks and Irish Water

finnfinn

Discovered a major leak in my central heating. Continuous serious water flow. Must be escaping below floor. Rang Irish water to ask advice, especially since major leaks are a serious problem at the moment. Since it is on private property they refuse to give advice.

It's your central heating system. Why would Irish Water have anything to do with it? There are tradespeople called plumbers who fix household plumbing and heating systems. In the interim, you should as the householder look to stop or stem this flow. If it's from a rad, turn off the valves on each side. See if there's a water feed to the system and turn that off. Turn off any circulating pumps. Don't use the heating system.

Irish waters property stops at your front gate. Everything on your property is your responsibility.

You need to engage the services of a good plumber. Bad plumber might fix the leak and not investigate why it leaked

Irish water will bill you for the leak if it continues but their network ends at the boundary to your property.

Would it not be a good idea if they gave the advice as per Furze99.
