    We have had a plumbing issue where we had to leave the taps running in order to flush the toilet lately (we are awaiting a visit from a plumber) I had the taps running tonight, flushed the toilet but now no water at all from the taps or bath/shower. I can hear water maybe refilling in the boiler.

    Is there anything I can do to get the water back?

    Whats constantly refilling? The main water storage tank in the attic? Is it an apartment, or house? Have you had work done, or has this problem started out of the blue?

    We live in an apartment, I can just hear the water going in the boiler for quite a long time now. We haven't had any work done, the plumber thinks there could be a pump issue as we can only flush the toilet with the taps running :( and after having the taps running for a bit of time, the noise from the water in the boiler has been going a while.

    The water is just refilling the storage tank, normally above your hot water cylinder, its a black plastic tank.

    When you turn the taps off, the tank will stop filling a few minutes after once its full.

    I am guessing because I had the taps on a long time :o it would take longer to stop... thanks sorry was just panicking, didn't want to flood the place.

    It has just stopped now. I will be able to sleep tonight :D

    I will give the plumber a ring tomorrow. Thanks for your help.

    Sorry mr Mod.. I don't know of all the forums on here (as there are so many). I put it where I thought it should go. Feel free to move if needed.
