A leaking boiler is one of the most urgent heating problems a Metro Vancouver homeowner can face. Water and heat together cause fast damage – to the boiler itself, to floors, and to anything nearby. HeatLand diagnoses and repairs boiler leaks across Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley, on every major brand, with honest upfront pricing and emergency response.
If you see fast water loss, smell gas, or notice unusual sounds with the leak, shut off the boiler and the water supply to it immediately, then call HeatLand at (604) 330-3812. Never leave a leaking boiler running unattended.
Common causes of boiler water leaks
Boiler leaks can come from several places: a failing pressure relief valve (the most common), a corroded or cracked expansion tank, a leaking pump seal, a failed zone valve, loose pipe fittings, a cracked heat exchanger, or corrosion in the boiler body itself. The source determines whether repair or replacement is the right call.
What to do when your boiler is leaking
Shut off the boiler and the water supply to it. Mop up standing water to limit damage. Check the pressure gauge – if it’s well above 1.5 bar (cold), the pressure relief valve may be doing its job. Call a licensed, TSBC-certified technician to diagnose the source. Never run a leaking boiler unattended.
Repair vs replace
Many boiler leaks – at valves, fittings, the expansion tank or the pump – are straightforward repairs. If the heat exchanger or boiler body is leaking, replacement is usually the safer, more cost-effective path. We tell you honestly which way the math points for your specific boiler and situation. If replacement is needed, we check your eligibility for CleanBC and utility rebates.
