Boiler losing pressure in Brownhills? We find the leak rather than refilling it. Clayhanger, Walsall Wood, Pelsall and Shire Oak.
A wet or limescaled copper pipe poking through the wall means the expansion vessel or the relief valve, and nothing under your floor is wet. Worth checking before you worry.
The post-war stock here was plumbed in long straight runs under floors and through cupboards. More joints means more places to weep, and they are traceable.
On a bungalow the pipework often runs in the void with no room below to show a stain, so a pressure test on the boiler side tells us more than looking does.
Fresh water every month rusts the system from the inside. Finding it once is cheaper than a pump, a valve and a power flush later.
It is common, because the system runs hotter and longer, so a weep that hides in summer starts showing. It is still a leak, just a seasonal one you can see.
You can, and plenty of people do. The risk is that a slow weep under a floor gets months to do damage you cannot see, and that the constant fresh water sludges the radiators.
Then we say so rather than start lifting floors on a hunch. Isolating the boiler from the system narrows it to one side, and that alone usually settles what to do next.
