🔥 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. ✅ Chapters: 0:00 – Intro: Radiators Spitting Water 1:20 – What Causes Water to Leak from Air Vents 3:00 – Meet the Homeowner: Previous “Fixes” Failed 6:45 – Touring the System: Radiators, Valves, and Piping 10:10 – Explaining Pressuretrols, Pigtails & Wet Returns 15:30 – Investigating the Weil-McLain Boiler 20:00 – Clearing Clogs, Draining the Boiler 30:00 – Replacing the Sight Glass & Testing Low Water Cut-Off 40:00 – Final Diagnosis and Advice 💬 Comment below if: Your radiators are leaking or making loud banging noises You've dealt with a “plumber” who clearly didn’t understand steam You’ve got questions about how steam heating should work 🔥 Subscribe for More Real-World Plumbing & Heating Diagnostics 👍 Like | 💬 Comment | 🔔 Hit the Bell | 📲 Share This Video 📍 Serving: Valley Stream, NY & surrounding Long Island areas ✅ NEED SERVICE?
