Keep an eye out for water dripping near your furnace


Over the past year or so, at least 5 homeowners in Spring Pond Estates have had a problem with water coming out of the pressure relief pipe in their heating system. It can start with a small drip, but could eventually lead to water in the garage, or even flowing back into the living space.

The root problem was that their water heater expansion tank failed. This can happen over time, and as our original heating systems are about 25 years old, you should keep an eye on it. These small tanks near your furnace can get waterlogged and stop working properly.

Look for any water that comes out of the pipes that are open at their ends and pointing to the floor of your garage. Most of us have several of these open pipes. If you see any water come out, or a puddle of water on the floor, contact D.F. Richard or a plumber to check your system. Some of us keep a small bucket under the pipe and check it once a week or so.
