Hi all,
I noticed that the bricks around the overflow pipe that come down from the loft have been going white which shows me they’ve been getting damp.
i think I have found out what’s happening.
I think that when the Bath is running upstairs with both the hot and the cold on the over flow pipe starts to leak. Looking on the internet this indicates a problem with the mixture tap and is to do with the pressure of cold and hot. Is this something a new tap would fix or is it simply just having one tap turned on at a time?
You can see from the photo this has been happening for a while judging by the bricks.
my second question is about the plumbing underneath my cylinder…
see the red valve wheel is that a bypass pipe from the cylinder ? Should the valve be open or closed?m
Thank you
