Lets say there was a high rise with 19 floors for example and there just happened to be no water because there was a leak some where and no one had a clue why or where it was coming from.How would you go about sorting the problem?

This is interesting feed back this,im a newbie to the game and if i had a problem it would be nice to know this.If you went to the job to find out you couldnt do it and had to pass it on to a subby would you put a charge on it,ie to the customer for being called out or to pass the work on to the subby?

19 storey building? That's going to have a few bar mains pressure. I'm pretty sure a leak that was big enough to stop the supply of water to some/all of the flats inside would be pretty easy to find.

You can't explain everything with maths

That won't happen. High rises are plumbed different. Learn to walk first.

If I'm capable of doing a job I will. If I'm not sure I'll get some advice or extra training. At the moment I'm working on a log cabin. Fitted the LPG heating and the bathroom so far. I'm part way through fitting the sewage pump (never done this before so it's interesting). Got a booster set to fit to provide enough water and to finish with I'll be fitting the kitchen. A nice variety of jobs. If a jobs too big for me I'll call in a mate to help.

The only thing I don't do is commercial gas. I've got my tickets for Air source, ground source and solar thermal but don't really use those because as a one man band it's not viable to become MCS registered. It's nice to know how the technology works though in case I come across it anywhere.
