While heading down to do laundry last Thursday, my neighbor was met with the sound of spraying water plus a really wet basement floor, he right away called out to his spouse for help.
He went down plus shut off the main water valve however the water continues to pool on the floor, however upon further inspection, he found that the water was spraying from the holding tank of the boiler.
There was no way to turn off the water that was coming from there so they simply tried to collect it in a bucket, but my neighbor called for a repairman plus was thankful that it was during the Fall when they didn’t need to run the heat yet. The holding tank finally stopped spewing water when it was empty plus then his spouse looked a bit closer. There was a crack along the seam line plus he knew that it would need replacing. While waiting for the contractor they went online to see about ordering the part themselves. They learned that they could plus that the replacement was fairly easy too. The part was linked by clamps plus seals so it didn’t even require any special tools. They ended up cancelling the repairman plus ordered the parts themselves. Thanks to Youtube plus other online resources, instructional videos have made if easy to make minor repairs yourself occasionally. If you are ever unsure of something, especially when it comes to something like your Heating, Ventilation plus A/C system, you should constantly trust a professional. They are fully trained plus you never want to mess up something that you have invested a significant amount of currency in.
