leak

6 months ago we moved into a Victorian house in London, with a rear extension built in around 2019. The extension has wooden flooring (bamboo) and concrete subfloor with a wet underfloor heating system. Before moving in, we noticed darker spots on the flooring. The seller told us it was water...

Evening All, I recently noticed a leak under my bathroom sink. It appears to be coming from the first connection directly beneath the sink unit. I'm not especially handy but willing to give things a bash. Seems to have been sealed with some sort of waterproof putty/sealant but can't tell. Any...

Hi all We have a persistent problem with damp along the party wall in the hallway of our little Victorian terraced cottage. Is it possible that this could be the result of eroded pointing on the parapet wall upstairs? There is no visible water damage elsewhere in the house above this. There is...

Our external waste pipe started leaking on a joint. As you can see, it was previously covered with something on the outside to stop the previous leak, supposedly. It's not a big leak, just droplets of water, but over time, it started to look like this. I believe the only option is to replace the...

Hi All, I found a leak as some water started to come into my hallway from the bathroom. I took the side of the bath off and found water had been leaking down the side of the bath due to the silicone coming away from the bath. Underneath the bath on the walls is black mould. What is the...

I have a corner shower unit that is raised from the floor in a loft conversion. When stepping into the shower, the seal drops, splits and breaks, meaning water leaks through. A plumber has been out to look at this but when stepping in, i've noticed there is still a small split. What can be done...

Kenwood KNF60X19 freezer door bottom left corner leaking through hole on the door, freezer compartment also seems to have some water leaking out of the freezer compartment. There is some water that seems to be flowing out the cold air exhaust (I imagine this is what it is) but I don't know if I...

Hi all Desperately in need of help. I've had leaks in my property underneath (1) a slimline aluminium window; and (2) slimline aluminium French windows. The window is above a small lean-to roof and there is a tiny amount of water dripping in very heavy rain where the lean-to roof is. I had...

For the past few months we have had a bad smell in the corner of my son's downstairs playroom, seemingly coming from under the floor. The room next door to it is our kitchen, and the smell seems to come and go, but most prevalent when we run the sink tap for a while. We have 3 manholes on our...

We have a leak and ripped up the floor.. Found a bit of pipe that looks like this (image attached) The boiler was loosing pressure quickly about 0.5 bar of pressure every 15 mins. Since this bit of pipe was fixed the pressure is holding for longer but still dropping, much slower (about 0.5...

I recently discovered the waste flange had cracked on what I believe to be a Wirquin Twisto as it's screwed in with 2 screws. On replacing the flange, I noticed bits of silicone (or some other sealant) everywhere which can be seen on the left in the first pic below. A few week later I decided...

We have a Bosch dishwasher which seems to be emitting steam or condensation from the top. It's delaminating our door units. I've taken out the door seal (3/4 of the door rubber thing) and cleaned thoroughly and it seems in good condition. Does anyone know what could the cause and preferably the...

I opened my boiler to see if I could see where the leak I have is coming from and it looks like from this black bit (I'll put photo). Is this a common thing to leak and is it an easy fix for a plumber?

Hi looking for some advice. The side of my bay window seems to be letting water in. Unsure as to where the leak could be coming from as we've had the house re rendered and that's not solved the issue, we've had to lead flashing renewed and can't see any gaps as to where the water could get in...

Hi Folks We have a problem with a leak in what I think is going to be a pretty tricky place to access. This started a couple of days ago in our upstairs bathroom when my daughter removed the bath plug to drain her bath. I was sitting downstairs in our living room when this happened and could...

My shower still slightly leaks when fully turned off. Can I fix this myself?

Hi there, I have a trade team working in our en-suite. They have installed a new shower enclosure for us but I’ve had to asked them twice now to redo the sealant at the bottom of the enclosure/tray as it keeps leaking. I’ve now noticed a visible gap on both corners of the enclosure meeting the...

Hi! My toilet cistern siphon does not fully shut off and the overflow is triggered every 24 hr or so. Clearly there is a leak from the assembly (arm adjuster of course has been moved ++). This is under mains pressure. I am curious, as taking the diaphragm rubber part out it looks fine. There...

Hi, please can you help? I have a leak that has shown on my living room ceiling in the form of a line (or slight L shape). I have found the culprit in some cracked grouting on the tiles around the bath/shower. I'm happy to sort the grouting, but what do I need to do to resolve underneath...

Hi all, First time post so please be gentle. Trying to ascertain if damp wall in our kitchen is being causes by rising damp or by a seeping pipe. The pipe in the image attached disappears off under our solid kitchen floor (back addition of a 1890's Victorian terrace). The other end disappears...
