leak

Yes, we know it's an old boiler, yes we know it's overdue for replacement, but other than this one leak it's actually working fine. And no, I'm not touching anything gas related, this is a simple water leak issue. One of our lasses has an Isar 30, and a while ago it started leaking which was...

Hi. I have a Grundfos UF heating pump and it seems to be very slowly leaking around the connector over time then running down the back of the pump onto the floor. The nut looks to be about 50mm in size so was going to try nipping it up a bit with a wrench but it’s hard to get a grip with that...

Hoping for some advice on resolving a leaking gutter joint which drips constantly when it rains. The seal seems to be worn out and from a quick look online, it seems some people replace the seal, others the whole joint and some just bung in a bit of silicone sealant. Strangely, in some cases...

Hi. I recently noticed a drip down the side of my house. Not been here long so dont know if its an old problem. It seems the culprit is an external drainpipe (from the shower I think). There is a ring of what looks like moss which is sodden. As this has only just started to be an issue, I...

Hello community, wondering if someone could help. I have two chimney breasts in my flat. There are no fireplaces underneath but 4 chimneys point to them on the roof. When it rains, they were leaking and the walls were getting wet. So we had the entire roof redone, which was rather battered, the...

Hi there, I hope someone can help as I'm struggling to diagnose what the issue could be and not having much luck getting a professional tradesperson to look at the problem I moved into a property last year with a wet system installed where the wood burner can be used to heat the hot water and...

Hi, I am decorating my bathroom and am about to paint the wall and ceiling. Then I found one ceiling corner next to the 'vertical' soil pipe has some damp damage. Then I realise the water is from the loft. In the loft, directly above the damage location in the bathroom, there is a 90 degree...

Hi, My cellar, which has always been a little damp seems to have got much worse over the past few months. During some really bad rain I could actually see it seeping through the walls and pooling up on the floor. I've had the guttering cleared as there was some overspill at the time. I was...

Would be really grateful for any advice on this. So, I moved into a top floor flat in a 1960s flat-roofed block in March. The photos are of a crack in the bedroom. It runs from the window horizontally, along an external wall, then round the corner along the wall with the stairwell. From the...

Hi, I have a 6 year old Miele W1 washing machine (WMG120 GB) which has started to report the "Waterproof" error. I am able to temporarily resolve the issue by dragging the machine out and tilting it backwards to allow the water to escape the catch tray (makes the floor wet but the machine then...

We had a plumber come round to fix a leaky lead pipe. Long story short: we had the lead content tested and we don’t need to replace it all under the house. But there was a section that came out of the ground before joining on to the internal copper pipes. The bit of exposed lead had a leak in...

Good evening, Water started gushing from above a ceiling hatch which is beneath my bath. As the picture shows, it looks like a pipe has come disconnected from another. I have tried putting the black pipe back inside the white pipe but it doesn't stay fixed, turning the collar doesn't appear to...

Hi all. I am completely dense when it comes to plumbing/DIY. We recently had a leak in the valve that supplies the toilet. Inlet I think? The toilet is upstairs, but whilst fixing it, the plumber ran the taps up there, the shower and the downstairs kitchen tap. I didn't think much of it at the...

Hi there, very new to the forum. Seen some very helpful information floating around on here, however I think I need more specific help if possible. Dropped some pictures below of exactly where the water seems to be coming from. The nut which tightens to bar part of the shower, this is the...

Thanks for your replies

Hi, every time it rains we get water dripping into our fire place, no damp in the bedroom by the chimney just seems to be dripping down the flue into the fireplace. When its heavy rain its larger and more consistent drips than when its light rain. We got hold a roofer that was recommend by a...

Hello. I'm concerned about my backdoor as we have had some heavy rain in the last day and I noticed a wet patch in the concrete that meets the corner of the door frame. Somehow water is making its way into the house through both edges of the door. I have always had concerns over the...

I have a leaking Salamander shower pump, it's leaking from around the screw as you can see in the picture. I tried changing the position of the screw but that only made things worse so it's now turned off and all inlet/outlet valves closed, which has stopped the leak. Based on where it's...

Hi there First time using this forum so many thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide, it's very much appreciated! I'm in England - cold winters, warm summers. I have a new shed (installed December) which, for the last two days, has dripped onto the floor from the ceiling for five...

Hi. First time here, does anyone familiar with conservatory construction have any clues for me? I have a slightly manky conservatory I'm bringing back to life. All issues look superficial except I have a leak at one window (non-opening). When it rains, water runs down the inside of the window...
