    Overflow dripping after water meter fitted

    At my request, my water company installed a water meter yesterday. The company said it did not need to access the property, so the installation was carried out while I was at work. When I returned home, there was an air-lock in the pipes, so I ran the water from each tap for a minute or so to...

    Intermittent drip from overflow pipe.

    Hi. I've got an drip that comes and goes from the overflow pipe from the black plastic tank above my boiler, which I think must be the feed/expansion tank. I had a new ball valve fitted by a plumber but still get a drip at times. I don't understand why, if the ball valve is working, there...

Now it is a Franke sink that doesn't come with a flexi overflow. It is rigid. Now I need to run a bit of pipe from this to...

    Exterior wall wet around overflow pipe with photo

    Hello, As can be seen in photo, there appears to be leak from the overflow pipe on the wall. As the exterior wall is wet could the water be coming out from a leak before it reaches the end of the overflow pipe? Haven't seen any water coming out when flushing, seems to be happening overnight...

    As the title says, sometimes my boiler turns it self off when it goes to zero pressure which happens quite a lot so I re- pressurise & comes back on all fine (heating & hot water). When the heating or hot water is on, small drops of water comes out of the overflow. Also when I have restarted...

The problem is that the more the burner runs the higher the oil level in the tiger loop goes. Eventually the oil gets too high and starts to flow...
