Had my first proper DIY disaster yesterday and managed to drill through a water pipe in our living room wall. Other half managed to hold off most of the water until I turned the stopcock off, but that didn't completely stop the water as it turns out that it seems to be part of our heating system.
I've managed to stop it leaking with this push fit pipe repair kit but if I try and refill the heating system (which has lost all pressure) it starts leaking again.
I'm trying to get a plumber/heating engineer to come and take a look but it's a plastic pipe, in a wall, not that deep and no foil around it, plus there's a connector at the bottom of the section I've chopped out, which all seems a bit shonky to me. And the house is presumably full of these so I need to find out where they are.
Best idea I've come up with so far is hiring a thermographic camera and turning the heating up to find the pipes in the wall that way...
