Leak below wall mounted boiler
A Bosh boiler 'Greenstar Ri' was installed on the wall in our kitchen a
couple of years ago. Just below the boiler in a deep cupboard-corner (that we hardly ever look into ). This plastic pipe runs into the drain pipe from the kitchen sink. Yesterday we discovered that a saucepan in the cupboard that was directly under this plastic pipe had completely filled up with water. See this photo on picture hosting site: http://tinypic.com/r/35at9g5/6 Checking carefully from when the boiler was on from yesterday evening to a couple of hours into this morning, a teaspoon of water has dripped off it. We have 'not' noticed this happening before, so we are not sure whether this might be a recent thing happening due to the snowy weather that we have had here in North London ? The water seems to be dripping off the joint nearest to the camera in this photograph. I'm guessing there is no pressure in this pipe. So is there a glue I could buy that I could just wipe around the joint to again seal it successfully? Or even some kind of sealing tape that would suffice? |
