How to repair a leak in an underfloor heating pipe.

When you suspect or indeed confirm you have an underfloor water leak in one of your heating system pipes, the instinctive reaction is how to stop it immediately, mindful of the potential damage that an untreated invisible leak could cause. There are two different ways you can tackle this challenge. The one you really do not want to entertain is ripping up the flooring to access the leaking pipe, with all the related mess and expense in making good the damage. The least invasive option is to find a sealant that will effectively repair the leak with no collateral damage. Therein lies the problem which has to be resolved. You need to find a product with a proven track record that will fix the leak without compromising any working part of the heating system. Effectively it should be non corrosive, contain lubricating components and fix the leak permanently – which is so important in this instance. Looking around at the traditionally available products it is obviously very difficult to find a solution that complies with all the requisite criteria for a completely successful sealant. That scenario has changed completely over the recent past with the arrival on the market of a super new sealant that adheres closely to the full criteria for an effective, safe and efficient water leak sealant.
