leaky pipe under floor

[Garyga]

Hi, Ive hot a lot of standing water under my floorboards.
I cant get access right underneath, but can guess at it being a certain speedfit pipe as I can hear dripping from a certain area.
its not protected in anything, Im wondering if theres an easy way of attaching a new pipe and pulling ot through ?
it seems to go through bends , Obviosly could just use a compression fitting but that would protrude and possibly catch on joists etc,
Is there a better way of doing this please?

I doubt you'll be able to 'pull through' a new piece of pipe if it's not straight. Even then, it'll take more luck than I usually have.

Take up floor boards at strategic points. I'd start with near where you can hear the dripping. Unlikely to be the pipe itself unless a rat's taken a nibble, more likely a strained or split coupling.

Have you consulted your insurance company? It may be covered.

What dia pipe is it and what length will need to be replaced. Is it a central heating pipe or hot or cold.
It depends on your level of skill. Then we can help you more. Centralheatking

Speedfit, for all its faults is often really easy to fix, but you must find the leak first. That's the hard part.

My idea if it was a short length use a bit of microbore which is really bendy like cable. Re joint both ends but if it’s 22mm no chance Centralheatking

if its been fitted correctly you wont get it out. if its been fitted that badly it can be pulled out it will probably leak again being replaced in the same way.
