Last week a small puddle appeared in the hallway. Closer inspection confirmed my fear that the water was coming from the heating system distribution pipes. Damm! I had to rip into the wood clad ceiling to fix the problem; fortunately not too much of it had to be removed - just as well as it is pretty difficult to do without causing a lot of damage! Anyway, after locating the leaking joint I semi-drained the heating system in order to re-solder.
Refilled, purged of air and tested - all appears to be OK. I really hope this is the last leak I have to deal with! Oh and of-course I had to fit new wood panels to close up the ceiling and refit the cornice. In all, 2 days to complete.
It’s good that you were able to locate the leak and fix it right away. This kind of problem can get worse if left untended. Great job, Nick! Let’s hope you don’t have to deal with any leaking problem in the future!
