Help. I have a saunier duval combi boiler and it seems to have sprung a bit of a leak. There was no water pressure at all so i thought I would put the pressure up a tad. Unbeknown to me there was a burst water pipe down the road that the engineers were working on. Now, the water pressure in my boiler is up to number 5 which is on the red. How do I get this down? Ive turned the boiler off and isolated it, but now Im stuck with this leak! Any help would be appreciated

Also safety valve should have blown at 3 bar so something isn`t right

The reading of the boiler pressure gauge should have NOTHING to do with the pressure in the street mains!!! It indicates the pressure inside the boiler and radiators. If it is reading 5 Bar, as Namsag already said, the safety valve should have released. Probability is that it is not working properly.
IT IS VITAL THAT YOU GET A PROFESSIONAL TO FIX THE BOILER BEFORE YOU HAVE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

i think what babyboo was saying is that they tried to top up the system pressure but nothing happened because the local water main was off. They inadvertantly left the filling loop in the open position and when the mains water came back on.................................................
NO.
My comment stands.
If the pressure gauge goes to 5, the PRV ain't working.
Get it repaired properly.

I have no argument with and support your comments.croydoncorgi said:
I was just trying to explain what i thought babyboo meant about how the pressure got high. I thought i had quoted oilman in my reply as it was his question i was answering.
