So i posted some previous threads regarding turning off the heat at a rental property of mine for the past couple of weeks (im in cleveland oh).. its been real cold (1-10degrees).. turned everything back on yesterday and everything looked fine... no leaks in any of the copper lines which is good.
So when i turned the boiler on yesterday i heard alot of banging. All the radiators seemed to be heating up... so i left for the day. Went back today and when i went to the basement the boiler was FULL of water. The site glass was full. The overflow tube was dripping and even some overhead pipes were dripping (not water supply lines but i believe it was a return pipe for the boiler). The boiler shut itself off sometime over night im assuming. I drained at least 12-15 gallons of water fromt the system then it kicked back on.
I have leaking on the living room ceiling below where the steam lines run to ONE of the 2nd fl radiators, that same radiator was dripping from the valve on the 2nd. I guess im wondering why the system fill up with so much water and what's the fix. .........HELP!!!! ... thanks so much for any replies.. i know this sounds like a P.I.T.A response so i appreciate ANY help
