- heat exchanger corrosion pinhole: Can develop gradually over months or years of system operation.
- condensate pipe leak: Less common but can indicate a developing problem that should be addressed soon.
- loose pipe connection: This cause typically requires professional diagnostic equipment to confirm.
Identifying the specific cause requires systematic testing. Our technicians use manufacturer-specific diagnostic procedures to pinpoint which component has failed or which condition triggered the symptom. Most boiler leaking water diagnoses are completed within 30-45 minutes of arrival.
