Hope this is the right place to ask.
Combi condensing boiler in the cellar, below ground level, pumps the condensed water up to ground floor, through wall, and then it falls back down 3 feet to a drain.
Last year it froze up constantly, many a day pulling the tube back through, quick rub with a hot water bottle and fixed.
This year I lagged the pipe outside, bit of a bodge, seemed to do the trick, but the tube is now freezing in the cavity of the wall, not the outside or inside.
What can I do, the hole in the wall for the tubing is too small to lag the pipe inside the wall.
The tubing does not fall away until outside of the wall, is this the problem?If the hole was diag through the wall, would this allow the water to fall away so there is no water in the tube in the wall to freeze?
