Underfloor Heating Repair in WA12 9RG (25)

Yes. All problems with underfloor heating systems can be repaired.

Depending on the location of the problem, however, the flooring may need to be lifted to gain access and carry out the repair works.

This depends on the problem. For problems with the boiler, thermostats or electric controls, a plumber or gas engineer will be able to fix the problem with minimal disruption to your home.

If you have a leaking pipe on a hydronic underfloor heating system, however, the flooring will need to be removed to gain access to the damaged pipework.

If the problem is with the boiler or thermostat, then an engineer will test the system to identify the fault.

If the fault is located under the floor, such as a damaged pipe or cable, an engineer will use a thermal imaging camera to locate the precise location of the fault.

They can then lift the flooring in the specific location to access the fault without causing too much disruption to other areas of the flooring.

Leaks in underfloor heating systems are rare. They usually occur during installation when a pipe becomes damaged.

In this case, the installer will notice the problem and fix it before the flooring is laid on top.

Firstly, you will need to locate the area that needs repairing. Once this is done, you can carefully remove the tiles and grout at the precise area you need to access.

Ensure that the heating system is turned off while working on the system. Once the problem has been fixed, the tiles can be re-laid.

Allow at least five hours for the grout to set before turning on the heating system to ensure that it is fully set.
