It's very cool to see a honest guy out there helping people. Oil burners esspecially, because 99% of homeowners are relatively clueless about how to fix a problem when it happens. Also in winter time they are desperate to get heat. This is a open invitation for dishonest repairmen to over charge a desperate homeowner. God Bless you Steve.
Steve: your pricing for your work here is very fair to say the least. Its good to see people like you out there performing quality services at fair prices. I figure you are a busy man with many repeat customers as a function of how you conduct yourself. Thanks for the video
I'm in Conway, NH area with leaking boiler, good luck finding a plumber to call back which is usual here now. Thinking I'm screwed for Holidays and I find you and you save Christmas bought some stop leak followed your instructions and it looks like leak has sealed, thank you for video you saved me:)
Thank you for showing your pricing. While you certainly can’t use it to figure out what you will pay for a job, it’s helpful to know a ballpark estimate for repairs. Got my merch last week, loving it all!
I'm not a fan of sealing liquids or powders, but I have used them. If it keeps the customer happy and shows them you were willing to try to extend the life of their equipment I'm all for it. As long as they are aware that it might or might not work, and they are ok with that!
This stuff reminds me of Bars Leak head gasket repair snake oil. If she gets a few more years from the boiler, that's all that matters. Good Vid, Steve.
According to what I've been watching and hearing, Peerless boilers seem to hold up better than some of the others. Can you attest to that, Steven? Your videos are awesome, BTW.
@@kristindell267 They are built In Boyertown, PA which happens to be where i live. Most places around the area have peerless boilers and seem to hold up really well! A peerless boiler with a beckett burner is one hell of a machine lol
and thanks for the videos, I don't care what anybody says, you're alright. I have leaking sections in my Wells Mclain oil boiler and I just ordered the powder to hopefully get me through until April 2021. I don't have the cash for the repair or a new unit. I already bought Oatey High Heat Furnace cement to try and seal the outside and whatever I find in the inside to try to minimalize to flow of water. My furnace gets up to 85 degrees F (water thermometer) and starts to come out pretty good, and we're not just talking about a small drip. It starts without leak, so I think this stuff will work, depending on how much I put in. The question I need to ask is about my automatic air bleeding system and expansion tank. I need a new bleeder because it leaks from under the top while under pressure. I have a TACO inline pressure regulator that is supposed to let 12 psi through but it is getting up to 22 psi. I bled the system completely and I think the expansion tank is filling with water because it is pouring out of the bleeder on top of it after the air stops. Did I bleed it from the wrong spot? Should I have bled it out from the pipe directlyt over the boiler that is lower than the expansion tank so it didn't go that high? I opened that bleeder after the tank's bleeder started making water and only air came from that bleeder. Not sure why water is coming out of there other than a bad tank or a bad flowcheck valve that is after the tank letting water back from the baseboard heat return. Am I supposed to bleed the air from the boiler only to remove air from the system? Not really sure what's going on as I'm an electrician.. LOL
I just poured 2 qts of Hercules leak sealer into my 10 yr old New Yorker boiler. Stopped the leak almost instantly. I only need it to get me to warm weather then I’ll be replacing the unit but not with another New Yorker.
If it is like Radiator Stop Leak, it will clogg up the heater coil on a vehicle. I put it in an old station wagon that I used to have. It didn't stop the leak in the Radiator either.
A boiler has leak due to small crack line at bottom of the boiler, Will PurePro Boiler Weld Powder able to seal the crack? Your opinions will be really appreciated. Thanks.
Steve: can you clarify something for me? This remedy will not work for a steam boiler, because you can’t make steam if there’s a film on the water.. correct??
Stephen question wouldn't you drain down the expansion tank to drop the pressure in the system just curious keep up the good work I enjoy all the videos
He drained down the pressure in the boiler already simply by shutting off the water to the feeder and draining with a washer hose. The new style expansion tanks have a rubber bladder and a 12to 15 psi air charge to work with the feeder usually set the same psi. When he drained, any water in the expansion tank has come out down the supply pipe. Sometimes zones do not have to be fully drained if zone valves and isolation valves are closed and you can pull a vacuum on on the boiler without draining everything completely. Like holding your finger on the top of a straw as you pull it out of your drink
Steve you should have brought the baby dog in to meet the Rottweiler she would of had a friend for life. Great video the baby dog is working again y'all peace
I love that dog ! You have any knuckle head wrenches ? When bleeding radiators I carried a gallon jug with a hose out the cap, u know people get really funny about "O Water" on my floor. U make me laugh she's a leaker
A temporary solution so you can get a month out of it before the new one is installed but it will gum up every piece including the relief valves in the radiators .what a mess it makes .you need chromium as a rust preventer .but it's cancer causing to humans .

No wonder people love ya !
The Service call is more than that in NYC. I would make this my go-to guy in a heartbeat.
Thank you for showing your pricing. While you certainly can’t use it to figure out what you will pay for a job, it’s helpful to know a ballpark estimate for repairs. Got my merch last week, loving it all!
I think that charge is reasonable....
Dude I love you brother. You are an awesome Tech. Thanks for the lessons

Steve is working again!!

Spector NS5 RD Bars leak works, but there can be side effects. Namely clogged heater cores, and a possible clogged radiator.
Erik J. Yep Bars leak plugged my radiator in and older Subaru Forester. Ruined the engine.
I love when you called the dog a monster...LMAO The dog and the tank.
Great video Steve,i watch all of them

I think Steve found a hairy helper. Lol.
Thanks for the vid
This is so strange, I have gotten addicted to these plumbing and boiler videos, I am a Mortician by trade, go figure! I sure have learned alot!
Nice work Steve love baby the dog does her dance at end 😊
Nice pricing on the job.... very fair!

one of the other video with hercules you mixed it but this one you can pour straight? how many bottles do you pour?
Great video Steven.
great work steve!!!!!!!
Can this be used for a gas steam Weil McClain boiler?
I know it’s been a few years since you did this, did it work? And if so, is it still working today? Six years later?
Steve you running the generator? mine has been chooching since 4pm yesterday, hopefully she holds up

Where's the cup to catch water? 😵 You are good to at least tried! Good work.
WIl the stuff interfere with bleeder and/or safety relief?
A boiler has leak due to small crack line at bottom of the boiler, Will PurePro Boiler Weld Powder able to seal the crack? Your opinions will be really appreciated. Thanks.
There is nothing like those old radiators! Feel sorry for the poor guy that eventually has to take down that old expansion tank.
Were those ladies hitting the ripple?
Did it fix the leak? Otherwise I love the video!

Hey Moe I put the yeast in!
sealed the deal great job
That was not Steve's mess, the dog peed. Dog liked Steve and Steve threw Dog under the bus. :-) Those were nice radiators.
curious to see if the stuff works. It very well may... Let us know.
Is it ok to put some liquid seal or Hercules seal on cast iron oil boiler?
Hercules Boiler solder may work.
Nice job Steve. That one radiator was a beauty. They sure don't make those babies any more do they?
That was from the Taj Mahal
Steve you should have brought the baby dog in to meet the Rottweiler she would of had a friend for life. Great video the baby dog is working again y'all peace
So did it work? Thanks for the video
I love that dog !
You have any knuckle head wrenches ? When bleeding radiators I carried a gallon jug with a hose out the cap, u know people get really funny about "O Water" on my floor.
U make me laugh she's a leaker
How long do these last?
That was Archie Bunkers old house ! 704 Howser Street, Queens NY !
great video too watch all the item....
Where did you get that new lead light??!?? Can't find it anywhere
Hello?
What is the most common cause of a boiler leak.... the seal is shot, cracked boiler, rusted out boiler?
Its a fuckin monstah.
I didn't know Bill Burr worked on boilers.
Oatley liquid is best
Steve is now in on the latest neighborhood gossip.
Real working man cooking series video, time to...
Time For A New Boiler
good video but all i can think of is "bounce back to Jersey"
That's a New England accent
love your content but the website graphics are a little cheezy and its not easy being cheezy
Gunk, makes a liquid boiler seal that works pretty fair too. Give it the ol Grundy momma!!
Gundy
Looks Like Ground Flax Seed.
Your doin it wrong you mix with water and pour
seems like those peerless boilers like to leak wit age, L to have had good luck with boiler seal on them.
A temporary solution so you can get a month out of it before the new one is installed but it will gum up every piece including the relief valves in the radiators .what a mess it makes .you need chromium as a rust preventer .but it's cancer causing to humans .
It's a leaka
Big old house.
"Gross"
