Yeah I just figured it's been down there for 100yrs already. Probably should be err on sound of caution before I create my own basement pool. I'm sure the insurance plumber temporary fix will be to simply do what I've done with more conviction. At least if it all pisses out they might be able to freeze /stop the pipe and buy more time before the house floats away.

Wouldn’t worry about it shearing, old lead pipes are like 5 or 6mm wall thickness. Shitter man, hopefully it’s a relatively simple fix for a plumber.
