rain water getting into my combi boiler

by Perry525 » Wed Jan 09, 2008 6:58 pm

I had a similar problem some years ago.
Water was flowing over the edge of the gutter in heavy rain and pouring into the exhaust pipe, that had been fitted with a slight backward and inwards slope instead of out and down.
Re positioned pipe problem solved.
