Could someone offer some advice on costs associated with repair? I've just been contacted by Three Valleys Water that there's a leak on the supply pipe leading up to my house. Since it's past the meter, it's my responsibility and they'll fix it for free provided they don't have to burrow under the house.
My big, big fear is that the leak on the supply pipe turns out to be underneath the house. If so, the the water company won't pay. Nor will my insurance company. Should I be expecting a cost running into many hundreds, or into the thousands? The maximum length of 'under house burrowing' would be about 20 metres.
