It's not often that a leak is so apparent as in this property. The leak was so bad that it had saturated the whole ground floor of a block of flats and could be seen running out of the air bricks.

Failed PRV's are a quick leak detection for us, but not the most cost effective for our customers, it's not common but each engineers sees a failed PRV about once [...]
Why Leak Seal is not a 'quick fix'... If you have a boiler problem, you’re looking for a quick solution and as cheap as possible. It does not come much cheaper than a bottle of leak sealant at about £20… Fernox F4 and Sentinel are very common brands, these come in a variety of applicators, from a bottle to pour into a header tank or magnet to applicators used in a radiator bleed valve and pressurized cans to inject at the fill point.
