Property Advice: The sell-by date of the plumbing in an old house

A burst pipe could lead to a lot more home damage if you don’t take action

Hi Kieran. I live in a 45-year-old house. We had an underfloor water leak due to a burst/leaking pipe in the circulating oil heating system. Is this likely to happen again? The plumber says yes. Thank you. Vera, Mullingar
