Is Your Boiler Leaking Water?

A leaking boiler is one of the most common issues reported in Pembury homes, especially during colder months when systems are under more strain.

You may notice:

• Water dripping from underneath the boiler
• Puddles forming near pipework
• Damp patches or staining around the unit
• Pressure dropping unexpectedly
• Boiler shutting down or showing faults

👉 If you’re seeing any of these signs, it’s best to get the issue checked as soon as possible.

⚠️ What Causes a Boiler to Leak?

There are several reasons why a boiler may start leaking. Some are minor, while others may require more urgent attention.

Common causes include:

1. Loose or Damaged Pipe Connections

Over time, joints and fittings can loosen or wear out, leading to small leaks that gradually worsen.

2. Corrosion Inside the Boiler

Older boilers may develop rust or corrosion, which can cause water to escape from internal components.

3. High Boiler Pressure

If your boiler pressure is too high, it can force water out through safety valves or weak points.

4. Faulty Heat Exchanger

This is one of the more serious issues and may require replacement parts or a new boiler.

5. Worn Seals or Valves

Rubber seals can degrade over time, allowing water to leak from specific areas.

🔧 What To Do If Your Boiler Is Leaking

If you notice a leak, there are a few steps you can take:

• Turn off the boiler if safe to do so
• Check your boiler pressure
• Place a container or towel to catch water
• Avoid using the system until checked

👉 Do not attempt to fix internal components yourself — it’s best handled by a qualified engineer.
