Question:

the is a whole is my house boiler HELP!!!?

Hey there is a whole in my boiler at home. The green boiler in like the toilet ( boiler room) i thinks its a electric one. with green fam all around it. There is like 2 whole the size of a pin. and the is allot of water drizzling down. i dont think its meant to be there and its making all the heaters in the house have clicking noises beacuse of the air. Also its lets a load of steam out and the room ontop has mould issues now. Please help!!! if anything how do i turn the water off just for the boiler so the rest of the house can have water.

Answer:

There is usually a valve near the bottom of the boiler heater. Turn it off. Call your landlord or maintenence right away. U can also wrap a towel where the steam is coming out. It should help only a little. If u own the place call plumber or hvac tech right away
The water supply to the boiler should have a red either gate valve or T shut them turn right until off for both. Also shut the electric off, a boiler of this size should have its own switch and breaker in the electric box. Then call in the pro's to fix your issue. Gate valve is standard roundish turn off for water T is a handle that is parallel to hose for on and makes a T when off.
You can turn the water off by locating The shut-off valve. find a water pipe and follow it to the boiler. there will be a shut -off valve probably near and above the boiler. From your description, I cannot figure out the pinhole leaks. The boiler would be under pressure, therefore the would not be allowing air into the boiler.
