    My only problem was I told them I get paid to work out I don't pay to work out even though the membership was free I still had to pay a parking toll in a garage and couldn't do it on the clock so I never went other than one time I had to use the shower due to a sewer explosion and then I had a client meeting

    Hey Mikey! Love the vids. I have 2 steam Burnham boilers installed 14 and 15 years ago probably the same size as this one in 2 of my rental houses and both have failed within 6 months of each other and replaced. They both had a hole in the block in the exact same place as this one in the video. Wondering if this was a factory defect as all 3 failed in the 14-15 year timeframe. These Burnhams historically usually last about30 years or so. Your professional thoughts?

    @Craigcul Месяц назад

    Another great job. Why do builders always make the access to the basements so tight hardly enough room to get the utility room appliances in and out? This was a great repair as the burner was still in very good condition. does the parts and labour not make this repair close to the price of a totally new unit? But nice to see that you can give new life to an old boiler.

    There is a reason that that one section failed. Whatever damage that section, likely damaged other sections as well if they are not currently leaking, it will be leaking soon. Not very smart to replace one section. And the labor involved in separating sections and putting them together, is significant. Not cost-effective in any way. Not in any way got a customers best interests.
