Tank overflowing in Worthing? Here’s how we stop it.
Older Worthing houses and bungalows often still have a cold water tank in the loft. When its float valve fails, the tank fills until it spills out of the overflow pipe, or into the loft if the overflow is blocked. We fix the cause and make the tank safe.
- Float and ball valves replaced
- Blocked or missing overflow pipes cleared or re-run
- Feed and expansion tanks in the loft repaired or replaced
- Tank lids, insulation and supports put right
- Toilet cistern overflows fixed
Loft tanks and overflows in Worthing
Bungalows are a big part of Worthing’s housing, especially in Goring-by-Sea, Ferring and High Salvington. Many still have a gravity hot water system, with a cold water tank in the loft feeding a cylinder below. These tanks and their float valves can be decades old.
The first sign is often a pipe on the outside wall running or dripping. That is the overflow working as it should. But it will not stop until the valve is fixed. If you have a water meter, every hour it runs costs you money. Water running down the wall can also stain render and soak into brickwork if it is left for weeks.
If the overflow pipe is blocked, or was never fitted, the tank spills straight into the loft. In a bungalow that water lands on the ceiling of a bedroom or living room. If the ceiling is bulging, keep out of the room and turn off the lights in it.
Older people living alone may not notice a dripping overflow, or may not feel safe going into the loft. If you are calling for a parent or neighbour, tell us. We go up, fix it, and explain what we did. We can also check the loft for other old pipes or tanks that are close to failing.
