Lead or Copper Pipes

Question

Hi

I'm trying to establish whether or not I have lead pipes in a property which was built in Scotland around 1970.  The stop valve inside the property appears to have copper piping coming up from the outside therefore can I assume this will be the same type of piping all the way to the boundary where Scottish Power would maintain the rest of the network?

Thanks

Only one way is too dig it up maybe ring your local water board and find out if they have done any work previously you may get some info.from them!

Hi Mate, I believe it is connected from a lead pipe underground if it’s a very old building it must be lead than converted to copper when it comes into your building. Thanks. I hope this can help you.

I Brad It's going to be either lead pipe up to the boundary or a galvanised pipe 99% if you know the route it takes ask you water board what they are running from the road to the boundary .lastly where your stop cock is located the pipe that comes out the ground to the stop cock have you checked that ? Hope this helps
