Overflow dripping from loft tank

[Frances529]

Hi,

We have a cold water tank in the loft and recently it seems to be dripping out of the overflow. It seems to stop if we use a lot of water during the day but starts again. Had a look in the loft and the float is submerged about 90% in the water. When I had a look the water was dripping into the tank. The water level was about 5 inches of the top of the tank, not sure if that is quite high or not? Do we just fit a new one?


Thanks!

Yep. It sounds like you need a new part 2 valve and float to me.

As long as the valve doesn’t look like its been there a million years check the float isnt full first , if its ok change the valve .
Turn water off first .
