leak

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...

Hello, Wonder if anyone has any ideas or thoughts, i've even spoken to a plumber who is a little confused.We have a unvented Stelflow cylinder which in the past year has had 2 PRV replacement and a temp pressure release valve to. While this stopped the dripping through the tundish initially...

Hi All, Looking for some advice, I was looking to extend my drainage for a new conservatory however after breaking through a concrete floor and digging down I’ve noticed a foul smell. Having dug further there’s a lot of water around the foul drainage soil pipe (see photo). It doesn’t drain away...

Hello, Firstly, if you’ve come this far, thank you! Today my family and I woke up to a few rather large wet patches in the ceiling of our kitchen and living room (both dripping slowly in to the rooms). I traced the leak up a floor in to our airing cupboard which has the boiler in. In here I...

Hi all, I currently have a 13 year old Worcester Bosch Greenstar 28i Junior Condensing Boiler installed. It's unfortunately developed a leak on the right hand side as you face it, but it's not losing any pressure and we've still got heating and hot water. I went on Checkatrade and found a...

Hi, first time poster here and sorry this is a bit of a long one. We have rusty reddish coloured marks coming through on a bedroom ceiling, in the corner nearest to the guttering. See photo. The same thing happened in May last year and the roofer we used fixed it by installing new lead...

Hi, wanted some advice on some condensation on our cold water pipes. Please bear with me on this. Just after xmas we noticed a mouse had been coming in through a small hole next to where the gas main comes in the house and through the cavity wall. I filled the outside wall with mortar and the...

Hello, I recently moved into a house and there’s water leaking from the point where the roof meets the chimney breast. I’ve put a bucket down which has caught some water. The roof was completely redone 2 years ago because of the leak, the outside chimney stack and flashings have also been...
