Boiler Help

[Michael J. Ashburn]

Has anyone ever heard of a boiler company "Hercules"? This monster was old, I mean OLD. I could not get anything off of it other than dirt. I can not find any info. about the company.

Thank you,
and Happy Veterens Day.

Gerry, You are the Man!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for the call, it was great to speak with you.

I just hung with the owner and his boiler guy was there 2 dyas ago doing band aid repairs and missed the flue pipes (1-6" & 1-8") venting into the basement.
Unbelievable!!

I had the same situation with a water heater...when the water heater is too tall, don't worry about the stinkin vent.

They thought the vented combustion would jump over to the chimney by itself.

Nice David, I had no idea we had so many CO assassins in the world.
My photo did not turn out well enough to post. It was the worst I had seen in my 4 years of inspection.

There also was major fire damage in the attic, exposed K&T wiring, 4 vertical support beams with no bottoms left under, 3-5 layers on the roofing, and 1 service panel rusted and charred.
All for about 100K, A real Beauty!!!
