Ask your QuestionHow can my overflow pipe drip when I don’t have a tank in the loft?
Asked by Eleanor on 3rd Jul 2021Best Answer
"Overflow pipe could be for a toilet cistern and it will definitely overflow if one of the parts malfunction."

Answered on 8th Jul 2021 - Member since Nov 2020 - report"This can be anything from a toilet overflow to a pressure relief valve or combination valve on a sealed system"
Answered on 10th Jul 2021 - Member since Jun 2021 - report"There is an overflow on the old toilets and on the older style combi boilers. Could be any of these"
Answered on 7th Jul 2021 - Member since Jul 2016 - report"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."
Answered on 10th Sep 2021 - Member since Oct 2019 - report"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."
