Hello,I would appreciate some advice from you knowledgable folk please.I bought my house about 3 years ago, it is a 90s build and I plan on selling it in January. Not long after I moved in I noticed a couple of leaks, one under the bathroom sink and another under the kitchen sink. The leaks looked like they were due to eroded pipes so I replaced the pipes and all seemed fine. A few months ago in the summer the toilet began leaking from the pipes behind every now and then and the kitchen sink pipes that I had replaced were completely eroded again. Also, the boiler had developed a pretty steady leak so I called in a heating engineer. He serviced the boiler and said there was probably a leak somewhere in or outside the house and the boiler would probably need replacing in about 12 months. This was around about June. Shortly after this I received a letter from the water board saying there was a leak either inside or outside the house, they would investigate and if it was a problem their end they'd sort it and I'd hear nothing more; if it was a problem in the house they would let me know and I'd have a week to sort it. I've heard nothing since. Now, everything but the bathroom sink seems to have a leak and the boiler has been making some odd noises so I'm getting quite concerned. I've used the boiler most of the year and it works fine. I have to adjust the pressure now and then. It seems to have been leaking more lately and nowthat it's approaching the colder months I'm starting to worry. I would appreciate it if you guys could give me a little advice on what is best to do next.Could a problem outside the house cause everything in the house to leak? Would the water board find a leak on their end and take a long time to fix it? Is there a way I can check if there is a problem outside causing the problems inside myself? And lastly, will my boiler explode and kill me? Much obliged
