What do i do if my overflow is leaking?
Water dripping from a pipe in the wall or under the eaves is probably coming from a w.c. overflow. If you can safely get access to the tank or cistern http://www.arsenalfcpro.com/Kids-Petr-Cech-Jersey/ , lift the lid and check the condition of the ball valve. When the water in the tank is high enough, the ball float should rise, lifting the arm enough to close a valve and stop more water coming in. If the float has sunk in the water, it might have a leak in it. If this is the case you can rest a piece of wood across the top of the tank to hold the ball out of the water. Make a hole to let out any water and seal a plastic bag over the ball to stop it filling up again. Floats can usually be screwed off the valve arm.

However http://www.arsenalfcpro.com/Kids-Nacho-Monreal-Jersey/ , if the ball is floating properly, then check to see if there is an adjustment screw that allows you to set the ball lower and stop the water coming up as high. (2cms or an inch below the overflow outlet level is about right.)
In older systems with a metal arm on the ball valve, you may be able to bend the arm holding the ball. Be careful not to break it.

How to deal with a leak from the property above
Try to make sure you have contact details of flats above and below your flat and to give your details to your neighbours for use in an emergency.

In the event of a leak contact your neighbour. If they are not in leave a note. If the flat above has an individual water stopcock and your neighbour is not in you could turn this off

What if i find damp patches?
Try to find the source of the leak first. It may be coming from leaking gutters, slipped slates http://www.arsenalfcpro.com/Kids-Mohamed-Elneny-Jersey/ , pinhole leaks in a pipe or a broken appliance. Whatever the cause, get it fixed first and the make sure everything is well dried out. (See Burst Pipes and Gutters and Downpipes elsewhere in this leaflet.)
Your plasterwork may still be damaged even after the dampness has dried out so you should seal it before repainting. You can often just use ordinary gloss paint.
