Boiler Leak Repair in O Fallon, MO
Where the water comes from decides what happens next. A drip from a fitting, a valve packing nut or a circulator flange is a routine repair. A drip from the relief valve discharge pipe means the valve is opening on high pressure, which points to the expansion tank. Water seeping between the sections of a cast iron boiler, or from the heat exchanger of a condensing unit, is usually a replacement conversation.
Read the stain as well. Rust streaks below the jacket suggest a long, slow leak. Fresh water on the floor right after the boiler fires suggests a pressure problem.
Reliable Boiler Service connects O Fallon, MO homeowners with technicians who find the source first, fix what can be fixed, and tell you plainly when the boiler itself is leaking. Stop-leak products have a place on small seeps but can foul a modern heat exchanger.
Turn the boiler off, close the fill valve if water is spreading, and call Reliable Boiler Service at (866) 456-6311.
