Water pump problems

Postby campochick » Tue May 11, 2010 11:03 am

I have an above ground water pump that feeds my house, it is going off every 15 mins and for 8 seconds each time, I have checked all the taps, the toilets and all above ground pipes. Could I have a leak somewhere under the house as all of the pipes are under the floors. Can I rectify a leak without digging up my floors to find it. Is there a product that you can use to seal pipes via the main water source. Any info please

Sounds very much like the trouble we had with our pump last year. Yes we had a leak. We could not find the leak but it was somewhere in the underground pipes. We just had new ones put in.

Ditto - we repiped over the roof - the alternative would have meant digging the internal floors up - the insurance sent an assesor out and agreed to pay for a notional 'leak mending' (which about covered the over roof repiping)
