Hi I have a permanent gushing noise coming from the mains pipe to my stopcock, that continues even when the house stopcock is turned off. When it is off there is still a trickle of water that comes from an open tap. Could this be the noise what is causing the noise or could there be a leak on the main somewhere? we cant find a leak anywhere on our property, and waterboard couldn't either! Only if the mains on the street stopcock is switched off does it stop. Its driving me nuts! Do I need a new house stopcock or is there a leak on the main? Please help!
 
Do you have a meter in the street ?

Hi all, Got a strange grating noise when the mains water is running in a property I'm looking after. It's a ground floor flat, with a first floor flat above it, and both share the same mains water pipe, and I believe the stopcock behind the washing machine isolates all water to both properties...
