???? Steam Radiators Spitting Water? This Boiler Disaster Will Blow Your Mind! ????????

Steam radiators shouldn’t be spitting water — but in this Valley Stream, NY home, nearly every radiator was leaking, banging, and flooding floors. The cause? A severely neglected Weil-McLain steam boiler with MULTIPLE ISSUES, an invisible water line, and a pressuretrol with no clue what was happening.

Watch as Mikey Pipes diagnoses this classic steam heating nightmare step-by-step, educates the homeowner (and you!) on how a steam system really works, and gets this mess under control — without selling parts that aren’t needed.

????️ For homeowners: Learn why water might be spraying out of your steam radiator valves and what it really takes to fix it.
???? For plumbers: Stop guessing. Start reading pressuretrols, clearing pigtails, and actually fixing steam systems.
