Overflow issues often arise unexpectedly, but they nearly always stem from an underlying fault within the plumbing system. Understanding these causes helps ensure the repair addresses the full problem, not just the visible symptoms.
Worn or damaged ball valves
A faulty ball valve can cause uncontrolled filling in tanks and cisterns, leading to constant overflow.
Blocked or restricted pipework
Debris, limescale, and waste can block drainage routes, forcing water to rise above safe levels.
Float mechanisms that fail to regulate water levels
If the float sticks or sinks, the cistern or tank will continue to fill until it overflows.
Overflow from cold water or header tanks
Tanks located in loft spaces can overflow for long periods before being noticed, which increases the risk of structural damage.
Even minor overflow problems can cause significant damage when they are not dealt with promptly.
Damage to walls, flooring, and ceilings
Water can spread through structural materials, creating long term issues that require extensive repair.
Damp and mould formation
Excess moisture creates an environment where mould can grow, which is costly to treat and unhealthy for occupants.
Electrical hazards
Water leaks near electrical systems present serious safety risks.
Increased water usage and bills
A continuously filling cistern wastes water and increases household running costs.
Our method is structured to deliver accurate results without disruption to your home.
We assess the fault, identify any worn components, and ensure the water level mechanisms are functioning correctly.
This may involve replacing ball valves, adjusting floats, clearing pipework, repairing cistern parts, or correcting tank fill levels.
We confirm the overflow has been resolved and the system is operating safely and efficiently.
