Pipes rising up under floor boards?

[JohnW]

Last week I switched our Central Heating back on for a few hours during a cold evening. This was the first time the heating had been on in months as we had stopped using it in the spring. The next day there was a long mound in the carpets near the radiators. I suspect the pipes leading to or from the radiators have risen up for some reason. We have a Worcester Greenstar Gas Fired Condensing Combination Boiler. The Gauge on the front of the boiler is reading zero. The radiators worked normally and heated up all over from the bottom to top of the radiators. The hot water works normally. What do I need to do?

Thanks in advance.

First thing I'd do is lift some carpet.

Is the carpet or boards wet

Is the carpet or boards wet

No. No signs of leaking.

Water must have gone somewhere for the pressure to drop unless its a faulty gauge but that doesnt explain the carpet rising

Would bleeding the radiators make any difference?

no cos you have no pressure in your ch system already

 

[SafeGasInstall]

if you did bleed your rads then pressure will go down and you have to top it up , when system is cold to just over 1 bar

buy the missus a vacuum so she stops sweeping the dirt under the carpet, if the boiler is working ok as you say, then the gauge is knackered, needs replacing idc
