ᐅ Experience with Gas-Fired Boilers and Water Heating Systems

Hello everyone,

our heating system is leaking water, more precisely: within one week (mostly when heating up, like right now) it gets damp and water runs out. Not much, but still noticeable.

Key details: second winter, heating system was installed in October 2013. Gas boiler from Wolf with an integrated hot water storage tank (solar). It doesn’t seem to be the Wolf tank that is leaking.

The plumber will of course be called tomorrow, but still... does anyone know what might be causing this?

Best regards, Yvonne

Hello Yvonne,

That’s really unfortunate... but it can happen!

I just asked my partner (trained in gas, water, and related stuff) – quick response: "you need to know exactly where the water is leaking."

So keep following up with the tradesperson – the work should still be under warranty – and wait for their feedback. Anything else is just guessing and might only stress you out unnecessarily 😉

Here is a photo from my phone... the dark red enameled part further back with the green sticker... there is a rust spot at the bottom.... 🙁

It looks like the expansion tank and isn’t a big deal to replace. So keep your chin up 😉

Thank you 🙂

Sanilöter was at the door this evening 🙂

It was condensation water running down from the chimney connection above the boiler onto the expansion vessel and further down. The connection was a bit loose.
