Boiler Leak Causes
Boiler leaks can occur for a number of reasons and unfortunately, are a common problem in many households. A leaking boiler could be due to a faulty installation, continuous poor maintenance, internal component corrosion or simply because of the age of the boiler. The corrosion of the internal pipework is a common cause of boiler leaks, where the copper pipes reveal small gaps in them, causing the water to leak. If it is just one or two pipes that are corroded, this can easily be repaired by an engineer. However, if the corrosion has spread to most of the system, then it is likely that you’ll require a new boiler. If your heat exchanger is faulty, this can be quite an expensive repair job, which is why we always advise that your boiler system is insured, as this will save you a significant amount of money in the long run. Too much water pressure is another common problem, whereby, the pressure release valve, will discharge any excess water. The seals and joints inside the boiler can sometimes decay overtime, which can also cause a boiler to leak. Whatever the reason is for a boiler leak, it is stressful to say the least, especially if you’re heating is no longer working or you have no hot water.
Gas Safe Service
Boiler gas leaks are not as common as water leaks, which is a good thing, as gas leaks are much more dangerous than water leaks. Every household and property should have a carbon monoxide detector alarm, as this can save lives and quickly indicate that there is a gas leak at your property. The initial response to a gas leak is to call the national gas emergency helpline, open all the doors and windows, turn off the gas supplies and stay outside of the property, until it has been deemed safe by a professional.
The main reasons behind a boiler gas leak are poor maintenance of the gas hose that leads into your boiler, poor fitting of the gas hose or because of faulty combi boiler parts.
