Your boiler works silently in the background, so while it\u2019s out of sight and out of mind, you don\u2019t really think about what to do or what would happen if it suddenly broke down. It\u2019s leading to a breakdown, but you can be proactive and prevent that from happening\u2013find out if your boiler faces this issue and needs boiler repair in Washington DC<\/a> or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Leaking Boiler (Beyond Just a Few Drops)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your boiler has a pressure release valve near the bottom. That will occasionally drip water here and there, but it won\u2019t be a lot. That\u2019s used to release a bit of pressure as needed, but if there\u2019s a puddle there? That\u2019s a big problem and constitutes an emergency call for your plumber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s happening is there\u2019s more pressure in that tank than your boiler can handle, and it\u2019s causing damage. While it may not be under a dangerous amount of pressure at the moment, it\u2019s mounting as you read this. Turn off your boiler, call for repairs, and you should be just fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unusual and Loud Sounds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Boilers make odd noises every now and again. That\u2019s just what plumbing does from time to time, but there are times when you should be concerned with the noise you\u2019re hearing. For one, if it\u2019s a very loud banging sound that happens abruptly, that could be the sound of a pipe bursting (even if the burst only results in a small leak).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the noise is either loud or consistent, and it becomes a frequent issue, it means there\u2019s something going on with your boiler. This is another sign to call for emergency repair, and be ready to hear what your technician has to say\u2013it\u2019s not likely to be good news.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pilot Light Won\u2019t Stay Lit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Another problem you can run into with your boiler is the pilot light not staying lit for more than a few minutes. This usually means that the area around the pilot light is clogged up with soot and muck from all the months of continuous operation your boiler has gone through. So what\u2019s the solution?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To disassemble components in the surrounding area and clean them out, then put them back in their proper place. Unfortunately, this isn\u2019t a very DIY-friendly task since there are a lot of safety concerns to keep in mind. You need a professional to do this for you, and sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
