Overflow pipe dripping help

Question

How can my overflow pipe drip when I don’t have a tank in the loft?

Gaone · Accepted Answer

Overflow pipe could be for a toilet cistern and it will definitely overflow if one of the parts malfunction.

Colin · Answer

Could be a pressure relief pipe from a pressurised system.

David · Answer

May be the toilet overflow that is leaking so may be worth checking

Ali · Answer

In old system over flow was not disconnected when new system was installed

Mark · Answer

Sometimes they leave the tank in the loft after the conversion has been carried out

Kelvin · Answer

This can be anything from a toilet overflow to a pressure relief valve or combination valve on a sealed system

Scott · Answer

There is an overflow on the old toilets and on the older style combi boilers. Could be any of these

Simon · Answer

Have you traced the pipe in the loft? It could be running down off route and tracking down onto the pipe sticking out making it look like the overflow pipe is dripping.

Graham · Answer

Is the gas boiler in the loft ? If so it could be either the condenser pipe or safety valve discharge pipe. Hard to say which without seeing it. This is the most likely scenario. If you haven't got storage tanks then I would assume that the boiler is in the loft as the tanks would have been removed when the system was changed if at all. Best answer without seeing it as I said.
