Hello, i live in a 1st floor flat in a 3 storie building and received a notice today that my overlow pipe is leaking. I have looked outside and seen the leaking pipe but i am unsure if it is mine for sure. This probably sounds like a stupid question but any ideas:there are 3 lots of overflow pipes on the side of the building and the highest one is leaking which is above my flat, could this still be mine?or would mine be the middle of the three since i am on the middle floor?hope this makes sense.thanks.

if its above your flat then its not yours
I heard that sometimes the pipes from a boiler could go out to the overflow pipes at ceiling level?and since the overflow pipe leaking outside is just above my ceiling level, could that be a possibility that is is actually mine?
any pipes from a boiler are useally under a boiler then out the wall not above.
what system/boiler etc have you ?

its an old boiler, not combi. its a thorn housewarmer economy
then it won't have any pipes going outside.
where are your plastic tanks above your copper cylinder ?
where are your plastic tanks above your copper cylinder ?
Overflow from what? Toilet? Cold water tank? Heating F and E tank?
The boiler is in a cupboard and its been completely covered by a woodern board so i can't see above the cylnder!
is the pipe outside higher than your ceiling ?
no idea from what the leak is coming from, i can just see dripping from the pipes outside.
yes it is seco
if its above your ceiling it can't be yours water won't go uphill.
cheers for your help
