Common Supply Work

Hertfordshire Shared Water Supply Services

What is a Common Supply Pipe System?
Often older homes and properties, mostly terraced houses and occasionally some semi-detached houses, will use a common supply pipe system (Shared supply). This is a single pipe that supplies the water from the mains to two or more properties using a shared stop tap. Very simply, this means that your water supply branches off from the mains with your neighbours.

When these older style system was installed, the pipes that may of been laid could could and are normally smaller in diameter than the more modern variety and were often made of lead or iron. By having a smaller diameter combined with a shared supply pipe with your neighbours, this can mean a drop in pressure for you and your family particularly at busy times of the day such as mornings or evenings.

How do I know if my supply pipe is shared?
1. Find your external stop tap to your property. If your stop tap is outside your boundary or close to a neighbouring property you may have a shared supply.

2. By turning off your stop tap you’ll quickly see how many homes it affects. Please warn your neighbours you are doing this and ideally involve them in the process.

However, if you cannot find your stop tap or it is hard to access we suggest that you contact your local water authority who will be able to advise further.

Brennan Moling are the experts in water supply pipe replacements.

If you require a new water main from the meter to the house, look no further than the mains water supply replacement experts Brennan Moling. Many older homes were originally piped with either galvanised, copper or lead materials, and over time may have developed leaks along the way, particularly common in the water main pipe to the house. These pipes when leaking or burst may often go unnoticed until you get a large water bill as they are generally under ground and not noticable. Low water pressure, rusty coloured water, and leaking pipes are just a few of the symptoms of poor quality piping. All will lead to pipework replacements.

Hertfordshire Trenchless Pipe Installations

Impact Moling is a new digging technique in which a pneumatic piercing tool is used to create a bore hole in the ground where the ground is compacted and displaced rather than excavated and removed, meaning disruption and reinstatement are at a minimal to your property. Impact Moling is now seen as the simplest and least expensive trenchless technology installation method to use when adding or replacing water supplies.

Moling technology allows us to bore channels and routes for pipe replacements and repairs with a minimum of ground disturbance required, this means there is no longer a need for heavy machinery.

Benefits of Renewing your Supply Pipe with Brennan Moling External Plumbing

Your local water authority (e.g. Affinty Water, Anglian Water, Thames Water) is responsible for the water mains and services in your street and in the footpath, generally to the boundary of your property. All property owners are responsible, by law, for maintaining the underground water service pipe that runs from the boundary of their property into the home. In other words, if there is a leak on this part of the service pipe within the property boundary, the responsibility for making a repair falls to you, the property owner. In some circumstances, responsibility may extend beyond the property boundary.

A leak on your service pipe may be evident in a wet patch in your garden, or poor internal pressure. Poor internal pressure can also be caused by changes to the internal diameter in old lead or galvanised pipes due to corrosion. Up until the 1970s, lead & galvanised service pipes were laid to domestic properties. By replacing these lead/galvanised pipes, you are eliminating any undesirable lead content in your water supply. Further to this, some terraced property owners may find that their water is supplied via a shared service pipe with their neighbours. By separating the water services and providing each home with an individual supply, pressure and flow to the property can be increased. Please follow the link below to the Drinking Water Inspectorate’s leaflet entitled “Lead in Drinking Water”:

Brennan Moling will replace your old lead pipes/ Copper pipes/ galvanised pipes with new plastic piping. The new pipe will be a blue MDPE plastic pipe which Means it is made from Medium Density Polyethylene (MDPE). It will have a minimum of 25mm external diameter until it gets to your internal stop tap when copper is usually installed, however the diameter of the pipe will depend on the supply needs of the property. If however there is any possibility that your ground, or the ground surrounding your property may be contaminated with petrol or oil or other hydrocarbons, MDPE must not be used. In these situations a special foil wrapped pipe must be used. We have experience in using all types of fittings and working in contaminated and ex industrial areas.
