attended a flat where the customer had reported a leak, turned out to be the flue which had quite a long run with 2 elbows and a coupling on it, all internal with no boxing. (pretty ugly)
the flue was level rather than tilted back to the boiler and had sagged slightly. The water was sitting in the flue and was slowly dripping out.
My reasoning was if its dripping water it cant be air tight, so switched it off and told landlord to call the installer to come put it right.
However the installer rang me up ranting about how out of order i was etc, that i'm making a mountain out of a mole hill etc
i dont really careabout the installer, thought he's an idiot before this. But i was wondering how most people would classify this situation, to me a flue that is leaking in an internal room is an ID
(also I need to talk to vaillant to see what the max length of a flue on an eco tec plus 24 is)
