leak

I have a Siemens dishwasher which I believe is similar to a lot of other brand (Bosch etc) It is currently leaking from underneath and quite rapidly. It runs a cycle for up to 5 minutes before it cuts out with the e15 error as the float switch has triggered. I have taken it apart as much as...

Well I bloody cursed it by saying my last post would be my last post. Just in the process of finally fitting the bath in to seal it and I realised I couldnt find the washer that goes between the bath outlet and the shallow waste...

Link to YouTube video: YouTube Video Showing the Water Ingress, Frame and Roof Above the Extension We are seeing water ingress on the top of the frame of our 7.8m metre Aluminium bi-fold doors which are practically brand new and were fitted only 8 months ago. For a few months we noticed water...

Hi all! We recently purchased a new build and in the two weeks we’ve been in and not drained down the external tap (yes, bad us) - a pipe has popped out and caused a small flood. Before I put it down to us not doing the draining - I am looking for some advice on this fitting… to me it looks...

Happy New Year everyone!! We were away last month and when we came back I notice central heating pressure dropped to 0. Didn't think much and topped it up to 1.5 bar. Exactly a month later, pressure dropped to 0 again last night. This time I know something is very wrong. After some...

I’ve had a leak from my flat roof in the kitchen for over 5 years now. Roofs been replaced, leadwork done, trays inspected etc and still leaking In the image below I’ve water tested the window area, and the yellow area and it leaks from when testing the yellow area. Any sort of ideas? It’s...

Hi All, I have a leak coming from the Heating Coil flange on our HW Cylinder. Long story short if I replace the Cylinder which is 25 years old I may as well go unvented and replace the boiler and power showers (not compatible with mains pressure water) also. The costs are obviously significant...

Hello Folks By way of background... Old tap model Deva DCM113 leaked leaving pool of water around the rear of the tap. Old tap removed and new tap of same model installed but the same leak is present. The plumber returned and did spend a fair bit of time checking the tap & piping and said...

I have a downstairs loo with a leaky cistern, see picture of cistern with lid removed. The valve is clearly not seating properly so it's constantly leaking into the WC. How big a job is it to fix or replace this? I was going to try to remove it to have a look but it all feels quite flimsy and...

Good morning, all, I recently removed and reattached a radiator when decorating our bedroom. I subsequently noticed that the telescopic valve was slightly leaking when this radiator, or any radiator in the house, was on. We have a combi system, so I presume that some part of the telescopic...

Hello We have a flat shower head. I just had a go at descaling it and then reattached it to the shower pipe. There is a decent flow from the shower head holes, but there is now quite a lot of water leaking out of one side - I'm hoping the attached picture shows this. You'll see water spurting...

Have had a leak from a shower screen which a tenant had very helpfully partially-siliconed to the bath and hinge after throwing the seal away - it has rotted the bottom corner of the frame, the bottom of the stud upright and the cover piece (pictures attached), and the wood is still very wet...

Hi all hoping for some advice. Got some damp patches showing through above fireplace / chimney breast. Moved in 3 years ago and patches were there so nothing new. Was an open fire but now a log burner with lined flue. Any ideas what might be the most likely cause? Have recently sanded paint...

I am OK with DIY stuff, but I have no idea about plumbing. We've just bought a property and it has a small kitchen sink and washing area in the basement. We've just refurbished the area and bought a new tap. After installing the new flexi tap tails directly onto the old isolation valves for the...

Hi, When I turn on the hot water function of my gas combi boiler (Glowworm Ultracom2 35Store), I get a leak from the 6 Bar PRV attached to the cold water pipes beneath the boiler. I've had this situation for several months now, and it eventually appeared to progress to also leaking when the hot...

Hi all my boiler is losing pressure. It seems to be only happening when we use the central heating which suggests that its a leaking component in the system. Thing is this has been going on for a year or so ( we tend to use the log burner rather than the ch) so I would have thought if it was a...

I'm house-sitting for a friend who's away for extended time, but we're in frequent contact. We're trying to determine whether or not his slab-heat residential boiler system has a leak (approx. 1,800 square ft). He recently had the zones drained (they were nearly or completely pure water) and...

Hello, I have a 1970s house which the previous owners renovated a decade ago, and I have had water pouring in under a suspended cavity wall for the past two winters. I have had multiple roofers and surveyors look at it without success, so after ideas as to what I could do next. The water only...

Hi all. I really need help determining whether a damp issue is the result of rising damp or of an acute leak. I’ve had different views from different specialists with vested interests. I’ve taken up the conservatory floor as suspected it was an issue with the drainage pipe that runs underneath...

Hi all, I would really appreciate your help please. I've been struggling with this issue for a whole year now. There's still no resolution, and the stress is starting to affect my day-to-day life. The manufacturer is completely useless (although pretends otherwise to save face), but they have...
