My son moved to a new build home in Cornwall last November. Yesterday evening he found a quantity of water beneath the Ideal Combi boiler and a steady water drip from the boiler. After clearing up and putting a container beneath the boiler, he went to bed. This morning the water drip had stopped though there was some water in the container.
The builder's plumber visited this morning but could find no cause for the water leak and the boiler pressure was normal.
There is a suggestion that rain water had entered the flue pipe. However, as the flue pipe enters the house horizontally through a wall and not vertically through the roof, this would seem a long shot to me.
If anyone has any suggestions as to a more likely cause of this, hopefully, short lived event I would appreciated hearing from you.
