Hi there,
Our flat is in a block of 4 which the council are regenerating, and in the last week they've taken the gutters off. It's rained heavily twice since then and each time we've had water leaking out of the bottom of the boiler. It starts as soon as it rains, and stops as soon as the rain stops. It's rained heavily before the guttering came off and there's never been a leak so I'm not sure it's a badly sealed external flue.
We rang the building company and they sent the roofer out to fix it, he did something and then we expected him to knock and tell us what he'd done but he'd driven off.
I have the water collecting in a large container and the boiler switched off, I was just wondering:
• is it safe to use at this point?
• if the 2 slow drip leaks stop as soon as the rain stops, does that mean there's no big build-up of water inside of the boiler as that would continue draining out after the rain stopped?
• How does no gutter equal water leaking from boiler?
Thankyou in advance!
