Emergency Plumber in Birmingham: Top 5 Most Common boiler problems

Boiler Leak

Boiler leak is one of the most common boiler problems in Birmingham households, it happens either due to damaged parts within the boiler or due to corrosion inside the boiler. Which is normal around the Hard water regions in Birmingham and surrounding areas. 

The cause of the boiler leak can vary based on where it’s leaking from, sometimes it can be a pump seal or pressure relief valve. The pressure relief valve gets damaged due to high boiler pressure, due to lack of maintenance.

              “Here are the signs and symptoms to identify boiler gas leak

Low Boiler Pressure

Whether it’s a leak in the system or a faulty pressure relief valve, there are several so-called reasons for your low boiler pressure. Some of the common reasons behind the low boiler pressure are, Boiler leak, Radiator Bleed, Faulty pressure relief valve, and damaged boiler parts.

The low boiler pressure problems can be easily serviced if you get to identify them sooner and inform the ESBAH Emergency plumber in Birmingham.

No Heating and No Hot water

It’s natural to rely on a boiler in winter and even, some households have their boiler running throughout the year for hot water. However, due to lack of maintenance and lack of advanced inspection, the boiler breaks down suddenly without any advance notice or the boiler stops heating or providing hot water in the middle of cold winter. This type of situation is common in Birmingham households, that haven’t inspected their boiler at least once a year.

No Heating and No Hot Water problems can be caused by low boiler pressure, faulty pressure relief valve, damaged thermostat, and even frozen condensate pipe. None of the boiler problems can be DIY fixed, it needs a Gas certified emergency plumber in Birmingham to look into your boiler.

Frozen Condensate Pipe

The boiler condensate pipe helps carry the acidic water to the outer drain line. These pipelines have an external connection outside your house, which usually gets frozen in winter. To prevent this from happening, you should Insulate the pipe, so it doesn’t freeze during winter. However, if you’re in the middle of a frozen condensate pipe situation, don’t try to pour hot water over it to make it warm. This makes the pipe expand and burst sometimes, make sure to call the ESBAH Emergency Plumber in Birmingham to help you and guide you.

Frequent Boiler Breakdown

Most of the boilers have a lifespan of 8-15 years if maintained well. Yet, even overlooking minor boiler problems will cost you a lot, in terms of finding a gas-certified engineer in midst of the cold winter or trying to get your boiler serviced after a long time. 

However, a boiler breakdown isn’t normal, sometimes it may be a boiler gas leak which isn’t good for the members of the household and sometimes you might have to notice warning signs in the boiler. These warning signs clearly indicate your boiler stats and problem building within the boiler. Do make a boiler inspection before winter and keep yourself warm during winter.
