Heater repair Doncaster

Johnny contacted our office, looking for urgent assistance to fix his leaking hydronic heating system. Our Master Plumber Brian was at Johnny’s property, to help rectify the plumbing issue.

On closer inspection, Brian located the leak on the plastic return line beneath the hot water system’s panel. Part of the tubing was broken, which needed an upgrade. The hot water flowing through the lines had made the existing plastic brittle and was subsequently cracking.

These supply lines should be either a copper pipe, or a heating-quality plastic. Brian discussed the options with the customer, and a copper section replacement was agreed as the way forward.

Brian got to work. New copper pipe sections were installed to the heater and checked for leaks. No further problems were detected.

Johnny later messaged our office to thank Brian and was very happy for the level of service he had received. He even left us a 5-star review on Doherty Plumbing Solutions’ Google Business page.

Why is my hot water system leaking?

It might be confusing to not know the exact cause of a water heater leak in your household or workplace. Leaving it until late could cause long-term damage to the unit itself. This can even harm adjacent walls and flooring if the leaking water begins to accumulate.

Irrespective of the make or model of a hot water unit, leaks could develop due to various reasons. These include corrosion, damaged pipework and excessive water pressure.

Regardless of how your hot water system got damaged or stopped working, the important step is choosing the right repair service. A professional and licensed plumbing service like Doherty Plumbing Solutions can ensure that your system is up and running in no time, with customer satisfaction you can bank on.

    Came same day as I called to fix broken tap that couldn’t be turned off (had to turn water off at mains to stop flooding). Third time I’ve used them within 12 months for different issues. Very helpful, professional staff and reasonable pricing. Highly recommended.
