Hi, we have a valient boiler and it has a F22 code on it, which means dry fire. When we get this my missus normally opens the valve and puts more water in. Today that didn't work so tried to ring the installer. There was no answer so unknown to me she put more in.
The result is we have a lot of water coming through our ceiling. The water has seemed to stop now and i have turned of the electrics on the two upstairs circuits. I've managed to look in the eaves and the plasterboard is soaked.
We had a new central heating system put in about 5 years ago and under the floors it is all plastic pipes and push fittings. If the pressure gets so high can it cause one of the push fittings to fail or come apart?
Basically I'm wondering if I need to lift the carpets, all the 6mm ply, the floorboards and have a good look).
Also how long is it best to leave the electrics off for it to dry out - would a couple of days be enough?
