leak

Good evening, We noticed a small pool of water around the base of our hidden cistern toilet. After some investigation, we found the leak to be coming from a seal around a connection between the toilet's back and the cistern. I've tried unscrewing the part that connects the pipe to the cistern...

My Potterton Promax 28 HE Plus boiler started leaking and pressure dropping recently. I stupidly did an online repair with a certain well known company (BG), engineer came out and noticed water pooling on the metal shelf that sits the exapnsion vessel and a big metal thing with black gaskets he...

Hi, this is first post so apologies in advance if this is in wrong place. I have a tap in my kitchen and the head is corroded (as per image) it is leaking out of the tip that slots over the spout. I’ve looked online via different searches and cannot find if this part is replaceable or even...

Hi all, I am hoping to get some advice on how water ingress/roof leak detection surveys work. Have anyone had one before and what would be their review? My feeling is that they will just identify lots of things and say it could be any of them, but likely not actually be able to give any...

I'm ideally looking for reassurance my own non-invasive investigations have reached a conclusion that makes sense before I engage a professional. And I'm looking for guidance as to who that professional should be - I'm obviously thinking Plumber right now. I have a bathroom with toilet, sink...

Hi everyone, I'm at my wit's end with builders and contractors. We recently had a window installed, but it's leaking badly during heavy rain. The window itself seems fine, but I believe the issue lies with the lintel installation. The builders created the opening and put in a lintel, but it...

Been in my house a year. This morning we have started going through a period of driving rain on my east facing wall (front of house) as a result got a pretty steady drip coming through the cavity by the front door in the small gap between the lintel and door. I’m lost on what to do. There are...

Hi all hope you can give some advice. Our dishwasher has started leaking originally it had got quite limescaley around the door and cleaning has limited it but there is still water getting to where I don't think water should be getting to. On the front facing picture the water is from the top...

The freestanding tap in our new home has a leak pouring out of it when the water is on but I can’t figure out how to take it apart and fix it. Is there a trick to getting these apart? Thank you!

Hello, We had new led flashings fitted. We seem to still have leaks coming through around the chimney- the roofer has returned 4 times to try to remediate but it's still leaking somewhere and we're not sure where/what to do. Please see pics. We're also not sure if those wet patches on the...

Hello all. I've just fitted an old cast-iron bell type cistern. After being in a week it has developed a weep in the cast iron at the bottom shelf , not the bell reservoir. It's only a small weep which you can't see a hole when you wipe it dry. My plan is to use JB Waterweld to "weld" a sheet...

Hi all, First time post so please be gentle. Trying to ascertain if damp wall in our kitchen is being causes by rising damp or by a seeping pipe. The pipe in the image attached disappears off under our solid kitchen floor (back addition of a 1890's Victorian terrace). The other end disappears...

I have an odd issue with my Aqualisa shower system. I’m not sure which system this is but I’m attaching photos of the Logic Module. This morning the shower wouldn’t turn on and the only way for me to get it to work was to turn off and then back on the logic module in the loft. Later on, my wife...

I had a wetroom fitted three years ago as part of a full refurb that has leaked on and off ever since. It was professionally installed and tanked. The contractor has come back and siliconed the interface between the tiles and the shower tray waste multiple times but this doesn't fix the problem...

Hi, I've got a cast iron downpipe which has a section with an access hatch. The bolts on the hatch door have been corroded over time and have broken off, so it leaks quite a bit in the rain. I've tied it back on for the moment with some string, but looking for a better fix without having to...

Hi Recently our bathroom shower has been leaking water into the hallway below (just a tiny bit of water randomly not everytime we shower). This happened over a year ago and we had a guy redo the sealant and it stopped. Today I finally got round to redoing the sealant. But as I started to remove...

We have a sink tap where the rubber washer between it and the sink has degraded and causes a slight leak into the cupboard below. All very straightforward so far. But since that started, the tap can be twisted left or right and water is ALSO definitely leaking from the nut in picture 2. This...

Hi all So I noticed a leak in my en suite, and upon removing the sink unit that was up against the wall/shower glass (poor design), it uncovered a lot of wet and a mass of absolute bodge by whoever fitted it. The tiles don't meet the floor and there's gaps everywhere, i've cleaned it up but it...

We have water coming into the room below the roof on the sides of the room when it rains. I'm unable to climb onto the roof to take a closer look as it is too high and I don't have access from below. I've taken a look at the roof from the window above and the flashing looks a bit suspicious -...

Hi all I had a burst pipe in the utility last year which resulted in me taking a kitchen cupboard off the wall to access the pipe. The wall was a wet and it left a big hole where the fixing was for the kitchen cupboard. There is now a big hole in the plasterboard which I now need to fill so I...
