Leaking Water Tank

[Goofyish]

Went to get a clean towel out of the airing cupboard the other day and found them all soaking wet

On closer inspection I found a leak from the cold water tank at the top of the airing cupbard
Can't tell where the leak is on the tank - it's either where feed pipe to the immersion cylinder comes out, or it's actually a hole in the tank itself

Got the plumber in to have a look and he says best to replace the whole tank as it's an old galvanised thing and is probably being held together with rust

Trouble is, whoever put the central heating in has routed the pipes to the expansion tank in the loft in front of the cold water tank, so all these pipes will have to be replaced and the central heating system drained

So I'll be £150 lighter after the plumbers done his stuff on Monday.

Hope the tank last the weekend or i'll need a

Ouch! Let's hope it's not too cold on Monday if he needs to drain all the central heating pipes!

Hope everything is OK over the weekend,

Sounds like you've been let off quite lightly with £150 Tim.

Sounds fun, hope all the towels have dried out by now
