Water Leakupstairs Had A Leak, 3 Times Per Day, Staining My Ceiling And Leaving A Smell, What Should I Do Now?
29 Answers
Water leaking from upstairs, 3 leaks per day, 5-10mins per a leak, around 11:00, around 16:00, and around 23:00, told local council 7 month ago, still cannot find the problem? Help, please.
told insurance company, they only cover the repairing of the ceiling, after the leak stops!
council cannot find any leak, water damaged pipes and so on - upstairs...!
which kitchen appliances use water 3 times per day? Boiler, Fridge, or …?
it is a kitchen above my ceiling, heater/boiler, washing machine, fridge, kitchen washing sink. and there is no toilet above me.

Agreed, hutu. Pilotlight explained perfectly what I was alluding to in my first post. Condensate leaving the boiler Ok, but not making it to its final destination. ..... probably under the floor (floor void), where a push-fit connection has come apart. Trying to be practical... .. your ceiling must be well damaged by now. Some of it (if not all) will have to be...

Just what I was thinking Chas. Not much of an inspection by the sound of it :o(
I guess the boiler would be the only thing that's on a timer.
Perhaps pressure vessel problem, so that the boiler is "expanding" water out of the system occasionally (should go to external outlet)
Sound of straws being clutched at here. Pure guesswork

It's a good thing that the Insurers are on it. That does look like a good idea.

If the tenant is a council tenant and the water is leaking into your home from a council home then its up to the council as the landlord/owner of the flat to fix the problem. We had a similar problem with my Mum's flat which she had purchased and the council owned flat that was above her, you just have to keep badgering.
Hi, Pilotlight.
1. I am a leaseholder, and I live in a 2 Bedroom Maisonette Flat, my first floor is the bedroom/s, so it is a kitchen above my first floor. Someone else live above me.
2. I don’t know about it
3. The council told me that the insurance company will cover the damaged ceiling (after they find and stop the leakage), already talked to my insurance company, which they ask me to pay £50, and then they will cover the rest.

The reason I asked if it was a condensing boiler is : -- as the water is appearing at the same times of the day, it would point to the boiler being set to these times. If it is a condensing boiler, it will have a white plastic condense outlet pipe, which carries the condense water from the boiler to either the waste/stack pipe or may terminate exterally.
The joints on this pipe are usually "push-on". Should the pipe come away from the joint for some reason, and the joint is not visible, this could account for the "leakage" when the boiler is on.
Hope this helps.
