Heat Pump Leaking Water in Craighall Park
Water pooling under or around the unit, sometimes continuously. This page covers how we diagnose and repair it on heat pumps in Craighall Park.
This fault is normally treated as priority work because the plant is still running but is damaging itself or wasting energy while it does.
Craighall Park sits within the Rosebank belt, with larger stands, long hot water runs and frequent pool heating. Static pressure and dead-leg length are checked as part of any hot water complaint here. Sites with long, poorly insulated pipework lose more heat in distribution than most owners expect, which reads as a capacity problem at the outlet.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
What causes heat pump leaking water?
The usual causes are blocked condensate drain or tray, perforated heat exchanger, failed pump seal or union, cracked pipework from freeze or vibration. Which one it is can only be confirmed by measurement, not by symptom alone.
How do you diagnose it?
Trace the leak with the unit isolated and pressurised; Pressure test the water circuit; Inspect the condensate tray and drain path; Check heat exchanger for cross-leak into the water side. The readings are recorded so the repair decision is based on data.
Can I keep using the system in the meantime?
Usually yes, for a short period, but efficiency and component life are both being lost while the fault persists.
Do you attend this fault in Craighall Park?
Yes. Technicians work out of the central Johannesburg base, which keeps travel time short for northern-suburb call-outs. Craighall Park visits carry heat pump and geyser spares together, since both are commonly installed on the same property.
