Leaks with heating systems can be treated and handled much better if detection is early and quick. At Specialist Leak Detection, we specialise in boiler leaks and heating leak detection. Our team is capable of providing first-class, efficient heating leak detection that stops serious damage from occurring. 

Below, we have written an informative post that delves into three big signs you may be experiencing a heating leak, and you need to ring a specialist. Read to find out more and contact us if you’d like to get a leak examined today. 

Boiler Pressure Keeps Dropping

One of the biggest signs that it’s worthwhile calling a heating leak specialist is that your boiler pressure keeps dropping. Should you look at your pressure gauge and see that the water pressure is declining, and you’re also having to keep topping up the system, then you can say with confidence that a leak is present somewhere. If your pressure is significantly dropping within just 24 hours, then you need to call a specialist immediately to ensure a positive outcome.

Radiator Valves are Leaking

In addition, the second sign that you need to urgently call a specialist is that the valves of your radiators are leaking. Faulty radiator valves mean leaking valves; and you will need to get these valves replaced by a professional so that they don’t leak again in the future. 

If your valves are leaking, then water will be running outside of the pipe, and usually, this means under the floorboards. The way that you detect this is by tying a small cloth or tissue around the valve and coming back in a couple of days to see if it’s damp. If it is, then it’s time to call Specialist Leak Detection right away. 

Boiler is Dripping

Another sign that something isn’t quite right with your central heating system is that you have water dripping from your boiler. Perhaps you’re noticing that there are droplets falling, or you’ve actually seen something bigger such as water puddles and damp patches under the boiler. 

If either of these two signs arises, then it probably means that your boiler is leaking. What you absolutely must do next is call a heating leak specialist who can come to your location and take care of the problem immediately. Otherwise, the problem could spiral into far more serious problems, if nothing’s done.
