Challenge

Three terraced properties were supplied by a single shared lead water supply. The ageing pipe had developed a leak, causing damage to the properties and wasting significant amounts of water.

Solution

Working alongside the local water company, Kurek installed a new independent water supply to each property, bypassing the existing lead pipe and eliminating the shared connection.

Outcome

✔ Leak permanently resolved
✔ Lead pipework removed from service
✔ Independent water supply provided to each property
✔ Improved water flow and pressure
✔ Reduced future maintenance and ownership issues
