leak

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...

I have what I believe to be a hydramax unit fitted (not sure what model). I’ve noticed that when it’s in the off position. There is a water dripping underneath, from what looks like a small home. I’m not sure if this is what’s caused the sealant around the unit to go bad or if that’s another...

We have a leak and ripped up the floor.. Found a bit of pipe that looks like this (image attached) The boiler was loosing pressure quickly about 0.5 bar of pressure every 15 mins. Since this bit of pipe was fixed the pressure is holding for longer but still dropping, much slower (about 0.5...

While the central heating, water is trickling out of the bottom end of the rear black tube in photo, where it connects with the metal section. There is corrosion at other connections. The PCB has been changed a few years ago and there was also another issue with it losing pressure. It's about 12...

I have noticed over the past few months my boiler pressure dropping a tiny amount of 0.1 bar but were unable to find any visible leaks. This seemed to coincide with drops in temperature, and after reading similar issues checked all radiator tails and noticed 3 are weeping in the same place on...

Hi all I am getting a leak between my waste pipes. I have worked out that the final waste (that goes through the outer brick wall is not perfectly in lined with the rest of the pipe run, so it leaks from the join at a T piece. I was thinking of inserting a flexible pipe in the run so that the...

Hey! Our Potterton Titanium 24 boiler has got a leak underneath the boiler, looks as though the seam from this part has come loose. Looks as though it's possible to unscrew this bit and replace it, but I'm not sure what the part is called or if it's fine to do it myself. Thanks!!

Hi I have a leak above my oriel window, its dripping in on outer leaf edge of lintel. After weeks and months of investigations I believe the situation is as follows. The original build had a DPC from inner leaf exiting one course of brick on outler leaf above the window but no weep holes. This...

Hi, Looking for some advice from the wonderful experts on this forum! I've been experiencing rainwater entering my boiler via the flue on my back wall (pictured) and dripping down through the boiler and then causing damage to internal walls. Sadly, there is only one downpipe on the row of...

We have a Bosch dishwasher which seems to be emitting steam or condensation from the top. It's delaminating our door units. I've taken out the door seal (3/4 of the door rubber thing) and cleaned thoroughly and it seems in good condition. Does anyone know what could the cause and preferably...

Good evening, We noticed a small pool of water around the base of our hidden cistern toilet. After some investigation, we found the leak to be coming from a seal around a connection between the toilet's back and the cistern. I've tried unscrewing the part that connects the pipe to the cistern...
