Coming home to a leaking boiler is never an ideal situation to find yourself in. But it is a situation that you need to react to as soon as you can because the situation isn’t likely to rectify itself. So what do you do? That’s what we’re going to discuss today, so read on to find out more.
Collect the Drips
Collecting the drips that are coming from the boiler is one of the first things you should do. You don’t want damage to be caused to your floor or the structure of your home. By collecting the drips you can ensure you don’t end up dealing with anything like that later. You should then switch off the water supply and keep the boiler off.
Getting to the Source of the Problem
Next, you’ll need to get to the bottom of the problem. If you have gas or oil leaking from your boiler, it’s an emergency situation and you should contact a Gas Sage or OFTEC registered engineer straight away. Water leaks are more common and less urgent, but fast action is always recommended here.
Fixing the Issue
The best way to ensure the problem is addressed and fixed properly is to call on a professional and fully qualified heating engineer. Anything that you try to do to fix the problem yourself will be little more than a short-term fix, and that’ll mean you just have to deal with the issue again later. Our professionals here at AN Heating can offer the professional support you’re looking for.
