Condensation dripping from a toilet cistern

Where jobs go wrong

Better ventilation and, in some cases, an insulated or concealed cistern arrangement reduce it.

Cold incoming water chills the ceramic, warm humid air condenses on it, and the resulting drips look exactly like a leak.

The tell is that the drips appear in humid conditions and stop in dry weather, regardless of flushing.

Better ventilation and, in some cases, an insulated or concealed cistern arrangement reduce it.

Persistent drips onto a timber floor cause damage over time, so it is worth resolving.

Some cisterns can be lined, though improving room ventilation is usually the more effective step.

Room dimensions, the position of the window and where the waste leaves the building decide most of it. Send those and we can be specific.
