So about 2 weeks ago we started to experience issues with our boiler, it started losing pressure when it was off and we had to keep topping it up. My partner's friend is a gas engineer and he came to investigate. After a few days of detective work, they both came to the conclusion that there was a leak in the pipes. Oh dear! After pulling up the hardwood floor and digging into the concrete, we found the source of the leak. As you can see from the pipes, it looks like there was a leak before and they just patched it up. The pipes are also very old and damaged. So at the weekend new pipes were fitted and we have our heating back up and running again. There is still a few pipes and radiators to sort but the majority is done. And the good news, our 5 year old boiler is still in good condition!!
I'm glad it all turned out okay. We had a gas leak a few years ago in our basement. It took professionals to find it. We could smell it, but couldn't figure out where it was coming from. I'm glad it all turned out okay. It's no fun when things like that happen.
