What to check if your boiler is leaking water
If not addressed quickly, a boiler leaking water can lead to several breakdowns and some costly and expensive boiler repairs.
Whilst sometimes it can be something small such as a seal or washer in the boiler installation, neglecting leaking water can lead to larger issues in the future. Damage can occur from a boiler leaking water on to electrics or expensive parts such as PCB boards.
Acting quickly once noticing a boiler leaking water can reduce the need for expensive boiler repairs in the long run.
If you notice a water leak coming from your boiler installation it is important to contact a fully Gas Safe registered heating engineer to diagnose the issue.
Is a Leaking Boiler Dangerous?
You must address the boiler installation immediately if there are any signs of a boiler leaking water. You don’t want any water leaking onto any of the boilers electrical components, preventing further issues with your boiler in the future.
How to Fix a Leaking Boiler
Potentially, you can follow these steps to help fix a leaking boiler:
Check the Pressure Gauge: If you find the pressure is too high in your central heating system, bleed the radiators to release some water. This potentially may help the issue.
Inspect Pipe Fittings and Joints: Have a look around your central heating system and dry any weeping joints to check if they are still leaking or dripping. You may be able to tighten the nut with a spanner to seal the leaking joint. If in doubt, consult a fully Gas Safe registered heating engineer to fix the boiler repairs.
