Hello all
Just a quick one: I have a plastic overflow pipe in the loft that hangs outside of the house (between the eves of the roof), like most other 1920's houses in the area.
Thing is, it's started to spit out water almost daily, I'd say about a pint or so at least once a day, for about 20 seconds. Coupled with this I am currently investigating a mysterious stain that has appeared on the ceiling below the tank the overflow pipe is sitting above.
OK so the leak I think I can track down, but is that much water being ejected 'normal'? Are the overflow pipes only supposed to be there for emergencies? When it never used to happen at all?
Sorry for sounding like a complete doughnut, I have no idea about any of this!
