Plumbers Diary
The strange thing about our work is that jobs often come in threes. The first call on Monday was from a nice man who has a Combi Boiler that keeps stopping. After having a really good look at the system and a nice cup of coffee (more of this latter) it is obvious that the boiler is loosing pressure The first thing is to look for leaks none!.The boiler itself is not holding pressure, anew pressure vessel and the system is as good as new.
Later in the week a new customer rings about no flow from her combination boiler. After a good look and a good chat which sometimes is far more important it seems that they have also had a lose of pressure but have been refilling the boiler for the last year. This is bad. Fresh water every day in their system has introduced lots of SCALE and other problems. Answers- clean the old boiler or fit a new one. Luckily the old boiler was old by modern standards and so will soon be replaced.
Leaks come in all shapes and sizes. Mrs J. discovered that when she pulled her plug out off her kitchen sink her floor flooded. After a close look and wet knees we found that the waste pipework under her sink had fallen apart. Some new pipes and glue had it better than new.
What awaits next week…..
