Boiler Leaking Water Chingford E4
A boiler leaking water is not only annoying, it can also be a symptom of a bigger boiler issue. While it is one of the most common boiler problems homeowners experience, ignoring it or not getting it fixed right away can cause corrosion in the internal parts of the boiler. This means more repairs, parts replacement and increase in costs.
These are some of the common causes of a leaking boiler:
- Faulty circulator (pump)
- Faulty pressure relief valve
- Leaking water pipe connection
Locating the source of the leak is a good way to start your investigation. This will also be a helpful piece of information when you call your gas safe registered engineer to repair the leak. Here are some of the common parts of your boiler where a leak may start:
- Tankless Coil mounting plate
- Pipe fittings at face of coil plate
- Around bolt openings
- Between cast iron boiler sections of a cast iron boiler
- At a crack or split in a cast iron boiler section
- At the circulating pump mounting flanges
- At the boiler temperature/pressure relief valve.
- At air bleeder valves
- Improperly-set boiler controls
- At boiler control valves, boiler drains, zone service valves, zone drain valves, & radiator control valves
- At poorly-soldered copper pipe fittings on finned copper baseboard heating systems
- Frozen and burst piping or in extreme cases,
- Water-logged expansion tanks
- At a zone valve
Also look for loose joints and cracks in the body. Boilers depreciate over time. Damage may develop as your boiler ages. If you have a very old boiler, it may be more cost efficient to get a boiler replacement. You can read our boiler buying guide or inquire about boiler installation.
Avoid a leaking boiler and other problems by getting an annual boiler service. A regular maintenance will detect possible problems early.
