My combi boiler is leaking from outside pipe
Anonymous user 23/02/2024 - 2.55 PM
Every day I have to increase the pressure as it falls below the recommended 1bar so just before putting the heating on I will try to increase this slightly. This morning I noticed that the little pipe that looks like a ubend coming out and then back into the wall is leaking water when the heating is on. Is this normal? Is this an overflow and therefore nothing to worry about? I have never noticed it before and everything else inside and underneath is bone dry.
Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

That pipe going out the wall is the pressure relief pipe. Get a gas engineer in to have a look at what the problem could be

Sounds like your pressure release valve is letting by, call a gas fitter.
