It's a CH pipe. I had a successful day of lifting up carpets, pulling up the floorboards to move a socket from one end of the landing to another. Then at the end of the day before bed I decided I'd quickly just screw the floorboards back down so my wife wouldn't accidently trip during the night.
Despite me clearly marking where the pipes were, I lost concentration and just screwed right through it. Not a good time for me to not know where the mains shut off is. I closed off the ch loop it via the boiler and closed up all the radiators and just soaked up what I could with towels. Once it calmed down I just called it a day and let it be this mornings job. I left a fan blowing over it overnight so it had dried a fair bit

I'm never mucking around with floor board before bed ever again.
