Question:

Boiler leaking from the top! Help?

All of a sudden I have no hot water at home. I went to check out the boiler and water is leaking from the top, around the pipe that expels the fumes on the top of the boiler. It leaks though the joints of the metal where the hole for the fumes is. As soon as I cut the water to the boiler it stops leaking.The boiler is about 10 years old and I have very hard water in my area. Is it possible that it went kaput? how do I fix it?

Answer:

The boiler is about 10 years old Is it possible that it went kaput Oh, yeah. how do I fix it? Replace it. It's corroded and the cost in labor to try to fix it will outstrip the cost of a new boiler.
Hi going off the age of the boiler I would honestly suggest you get a few q uotes from tradesmen it will save money in the long term good luck
