Had this on a lead gas pipe in my house... Fortunately it's now been
removed!

The big lead overflow pipe on our bath had been hammered together so that
no water could flow through it.

It was no problem until someone left a bath tap running and water went
over the wall side of the bath, down the wall and down the kitchen wall
too.

Still, the kitchen walls needed cleaning and painting ...
