In a functional hvac system the condensate pump automatically turns on when it comes into contact with water.
Attic overflow pipe dripping.
However if it s at loft level and protrudes from the eaves of the roof then it could be coming from your cold water or central heating feed and expansion tank.
The low pipe acts in the same way it would from a unit in the attic.
My house has 2 a c units there are 2 pipes running outside the wall roof level for the first floor and at the floor level of my second floor where water is dripping slowly.
For any roofing issues visit.
The first thing to do is to identify which of the cisterns in your house is overflowing if the overflow pipe is at ground floor or first floor level then the toilet cistern is probably the culprit.
If the condensate pump is broken or damaged though the water will overflow.
Bought a new valve and ballcock and installed problem was still continuing.
Hi all the water tank in the attic in my house has an overflow pipe as all do i assume.
If the leaking pipe is at ground or first floor level then it s likely to be your bathroom overflow pipe dripping which will be coming from the toilet cistern.
The pipe is dripping constantly at the moment.
My neighbour scared me saying those are the backup pipes for a c water drain and the water is never supposed to come out from there.
This water travels down a small pipe where it ends up in the drip pan.
Notice the overflow pipe from the attic leaking climbed up and checked the cold water tank and noticed that the ballcock was no longer working and the tank was constantly filling.
Can anyone tell me why this might be happening and recommend a way to fix this.
The water rises in the drip pan and triggers the pump once it reaches a certain point.
Water leaking from a copper pipe on the side of the house.
Most likely water leaking from a copper pipe or elbow shaped fitting down low is an indication that the prv pressure relief valve on your water heater is.
This is usually due to a faulty ball valve.
In this case there will be no secondary drain pipe up high.
A leaking overflow pipe means that water is entering a cistern when it shouldn t.
