Ask your QuestionHi all,
I’ve noticed that my overflow pipe has started dripping near enough constantly. It is fitted just beneath the roof tiles and has been doing this for a few days now.
Are there any usual causes for an overflow pipe to be dripping? and if so, is it something I can fix myself?
If this is a simple tweak I would much rather fix it myself rather than hire a plumber.
"Your overflow pipe may be dripping due to a leaking ball valve, or an open vent discharging into the tank."

If this is too high then it's doing its job, instead of flooding your roof space it's going down the overflow. It' possible that the ball valve in the tank itself is not shutting properly causing the fault.
Changing these would require the water to be isolated. There may be videos online showing how to do this but I doubt it, otherwise, call a plumber.
Good luck,
Regards"
