From there we can advise you on the next steps.
When a flood happens, what actually happens to home heating systems?
Some systems and floods make it out on the other side with nothing more than a thorough cleaning. Some, however, need to be completely dried out and disinfected. In these cases, a heating technician will take care of that, which will prevent any mold and bacteria from returning. When a system is flooded, delicate parts can also be compromised as water damage is a big threat and can put your safety at risk. These parts include gas valves, safety controls ignition systems, and air circulation parts.
Another serious risk is the possibility of your heat exchanger rusting.
A rusting heat exchanger is a potentially dangerous matter, and something to take very seriously. When a heat exchanger rusts, dangerous exhaust could make its way into your home’s living space. Our technicians can identify this issue when they check your system after flooding.
If your home floods, please let us know immediately so a professional technician can inspect your Massachusetts boiler, furnace, or water heater. It may need nothing more than a cleaning, and it may need a repair. It is possible it will need to be replaced. Whatever the case may be, we will be there for every step of the process.
