Burst water pipe showers homes and cars in Running Waters

A burst water main was left to shoot a 100ft high fountain of water into homes just yards away for more than an hour before engineers shut it off.

Homes in Running Waters (seriously), Brentwood, were inundated and a car parked in the street was destroyed.

One resident said water entering through her chimney had left her home severely damaged.

The aptly-named Running Waters has been the scene of three major water pipe ruptures in the last seven years.

I’ve heard about the same incident before. The situation had badly affected the house and the family involved. I think this is a lesson to everyone that if they have seen a pipe or fountain leaking or is experiencing some serious damage, it is best to call a professional plumber immediately before the dilemma becomes worse.
