💧 Why Is My Boiler Leaking? 😟
Spotted a puddle under your boiler or noticed dripping water? Here are a few common reasons why your boiler might be leaking:
🔩 1. Corroded Pipes or Components
Over time, internal parts can rust or degrade, leading to tiny leaks that grow if not addressed.
🚿 2. Pressure Too High
If your boiler pressure is too high, it can force water out through the pressure relief valve or cause seals to fail.
⚙️ 3. Faulty Heat Exchanger
A cracked heat exchanger can leak internally or externally—this is a more serious issue that needs professional attention.
🧰 4. Worn Seals or Joints
Seals around pumps or pipes can wear down, especially in older boilers, allowing water to escape.
🔧 5. Loose Connections
Sometimes, it’s as simple as a connection that needs tightening—especially after recent maintenance or installation.
🚨 A leaking boiler can cause damage and reduce efficiency. If you spot a leak, don’t ignore it—contact a qualified heating engineer to inspect and fix the issue safely. 🔧
