Water pipe repair in Edinburgh: Homeowners vs renters
For homeowners:
You're typically responsible for any pipework that runs from your property boundary into your home. This includes underground water supply pipes, outside taps, and internal mains connections. If you're not sure who’s responsible, your local water company can advise.
For renters:
Repairs to the water supply pipe are usually your landlord’s responsibility. If you suspect a leak, report it to them or your letting agency as soon as possible. Some local authorities offer support if delays occur or if the issue affects health and safety.
