Please help me someone before I go completely insane!
I know nothing about central heating or plumbing btw.
Basically, there is a drip coming from a pipe that protrudes from my attic - I think it's from the cold water tank? It only happens when the central heating is turned on. And it doesn't happen all the time. It can also stop itself once the heat has been on for some time.
I only became aware of this a couple of years ago when we replaced our boiler during an extension project. The plumber at the time said it was just a matter of balancing the system, and to the best of my knowledge was meant to have done this. However, it kept happening, albeit sporadically, and as a slow drip.
We recently upgraded 4 radiators in our home to double rads. And since then the drip has become unbearable when the heat is on. The plumber came back today while I was at work, and is meant to have fixed it (he said something about the overflow?) but I just turned my heat on there and it's still dripping.
Is there any simple solution that I can provide myself by climbing up into the attic? Or do I have a bigger problem than I or either of my plumbers realise?
Any advice and help is appreciated - this is the closest thing to Chinese torture I hope I'll ever experience!
