Another Disaster Averted by Local Plumber

We were called out to inspect a Burnham Series 2 hydronic boiler, and what we found was beyond dangerous. The flue pipe wasn’t even connected — it was on the floor, patched together with spray foam insulation! 😱

Inside this Long Island home, a 75-gallon power-vented water heater was improperly vented, corroding from years of amateur work. If left untouched, this could have filled the house with carbon monoxide — a silent killer.

Watch as Mikey Pipes and Derek quickly diagnose and repair the mess, replacing the flue with properly glued CPVC fittings, cleaning the boiler, and ensuring safe operation for the homeowner.
