How Afterglow Repaired a Leaking Worcester Bosch Boiler in Erdington, Birmingham
At Afterglow Plumbing & Heating, we help homeowners across Birmingham with all types of boiler problems. Recently, we were called to a property in Erdington, where a Worcester Bosch boiler was leaking, causing damp patches and concern about water damage.
The Call-Out
The customer, living near Station Road, noticed water dripping from the boiler onto the floor. Concerned about safety and potential damage, they contacted us immediately.
Thanks to our coverage across Erdington, Gravelly Hill, Sutton Coldfield, and nearby areas, one of our Gas Safe engineers was on site within a few hours. On inspection, we found a leak from the pressure relief valve and a minor joint on the heat exchanger, which was allowing water to escape and reduce boiler efficiency.
The Repair
Our engineer carefully isolated the boiler, drained the system safely, and replaced the faulty pressure relief valve and tightened the leaking joint. After refilling and repressurising the system, the boiler was tested across multiple heating cycles to ensure it was fully operational, with no further leaks.
The customer was extremely pleased with the professionalism and speed of the repair. They mentioned how reassuring it was to have a local Erdington plumber and heating engineer who explained the issue clearly and completed the work efficiently, leaving everything tidy.
Why Boilers Leak
Boiler leaks can occur for several reasons:
- Faulty pressure relief valves
- Loose joints or pipework
- Corrosion inside the heat exchanger
- Age and general wear of components
Prompt repair by a Gas Safe engineer prevents further damage, restores heating efficiency, and protects your home.
