Done a lot of these after Hurricane Sandy... I should be rich, though helped out my neighbors in time of crisis. They no longer flip me the bird when driving past my house and on occasion they buy me a cup of coffee, black no sugar as true plumbers drink it.

[@MrJujubean]

that's why every basement should have a battery back up sump pump, save money in the long run and lots of it

[@dannywilkins887]

just replaced what was needed,no dramas,good work...

[@aircooledtx]

Burner was floatin' . Good fix,Steve Lav.

[@anthonygasparini1734]

She's a leaker and a little steam kettle! Nice job Steve Merry Christmas!

[@ronrobertson9324]

That boiler ain't no sump pump momma! "They don't like waddah"! Geez..what a flippin' mess. Good job Steve.

[@carltaylor1687]

One way to clean your boiler I suppose 😂

[@gmguy156]

I like the cover over the control panel

[@tomgarabed6568]

That's a new meaning to a boiler cleaning! !!

[@justinnicolas2347]

She's a leaka mama she's a leaka

[@REWYRED]

I bet there was quite the steam cloud at the top of the chimney until the inside of the boiler dried out..

[@MassholeMachinist]

If the motor was only 1/4 to 1/3 submerged while running, would it be damaged?

[@Spector_NS5_RD]

Steve you shoulda just left the water inside the combustion chamber. It’s a boiler anyway right? 😂 😝 LoL. Good save Steve-o-reno

[@Okanagan48]

What about the water in the firebox? Does it boil off? Question was answered.

[@macmorgan6685]

Great videos! What is your opinion on downsizing nozzles? I have an older W-M 466 boiler in great running order. Recommended nozzle is 1.5 gph but have lowered it to 1.25 and increased pump pressure to about 110 psi. . The house is heated with W-M cast iron baseboard and even On the coldest days, 0 degrees, I've never had the burner ever run continuously. I've got pretty good efficiency, around 75%, and know it's pretty hard to improve on that. Not sure if the improved performance of a new boiler would ever offset the cost. Any thoughts?

[@alexstoles1339]

I cant believe how much water poured out of that boiler! Wow! Keep the vids coming Steve ur awesome!

[@edwardpetty5401]

Nice work Steve!

[@Fireship1]

Back from the dead mama. Nice job Steve getting it running again.

[@edmarsh1965]

Good job Steve!!

[@tomearnshaw8532]

Another big job sorted with no fuss 👌

[@erikj.2066]

Not everyone has access to natural gas in these parts.

[@iliketranes1412]

Good job on that one, there lucky that your here, or they might have been scammed into buying a new burner. Boy, imagine that, you get an expensive burner just for it to go underwater and be replaced...

[@marshalljimduncan]

Do you ever adjust the electrodes?

[@jbpost52]

Steven wouldn't that heat exchanger chamber be filled with water as well being underwater?

[@stevenlavimoniere]

the boiler has sections this one is a 3,,, the water will drain out between sections .the water will not get trapped but will drain down into base like this one did

[@jbpost52]

You did what I was thinking I meant the boiler chamber, which was full of water. I imagine its not good for the flame retardant liner. Funny she most definitely was a leaker when you opened up that boiler door.

[@blackbeanburger3357]

love the confetti at the end. lol

[@Plu54f0x]

Bet that chimney was a spectacular steamshow till it dried out!

[@patrickmurray2220]

Them Beckett burners are robust units

[@BaFunGool]

Myself spray any existing submerged wires with WD 40 [WD means: Water Dissident, and 40 means: Batch #40]. Then in a brief period of time, then spray some contact cleaner removing oily film before firing.

[@RobertL78]

I had always heard it meant "Water Displacer"

[@abc-coleaks-info3180]

It really is just fish oil. It took them 40 tries to get it right, and they chose fish oil. It works, sometimes.

[@steveg5268]

Is there a concern for the piece of backing material inside the boiler. This shields the cast iron from direct flame? I dont know what its called. Wouldnt it deteriorate after soaking?

[@dburto13]

I had a feeling you would be back to take care of that one Steve...LOL. Nice looking boiler, she'll chooch for a while until it drys out. Nice work.

[@bobgallo2178]

Nice graphics, Steve.

[@robertricardo7523]

Steven.... Thanks for the video.

[@frankrizzo3915]

I feel for the home owner.

[@alessichris07]

She’s a choochin

[@johnc4876]

How about the refractory? Target wall, floor blanket need to be replaced?

[@fleetwin1]

She's a leaker mama, what a flippin mess!

[@Joop5000]

No low water issue there, huh Steve? LoL!

[@RangerCaptain11A]

that dungeon looks better at low tide. you shoulda snagged the spam for your cookin series.

[@RangerCaptain11A]

when you let all that water out i expected a fish to fall out.

[@macmorgan6685]

steve, do the new style Motors fit the old af burner chassis?

[@stevenlavimoniere]

yes the old AF just had a different fan blade,,,,, less fan blades and bigger ,but same chassy all the parts are interchangeable

[@morcowbell9387]

Yes most parts are exchangeable between American oil burners manufacturers , Beckett, Wayne and Carlin’s ! Riello and the newer Beckett Nx or AFII that’s a different story!

[@wpbrigham]

She don't like to go under water mama.....

[@RobertL78]

That was an expensive power strip.

[@MookieMan1]

Robert L it wasn’t the power strip. It was the fact that their electric was out for an extended period. Then when the power went back on, the pumps were tripping.

[@tdgreenbay]

Tree took out the power for a few days

[@dklucas1]

Another good the bad and the ugly story

[@bctaxidermy]

Too bad you didn’t find the water sooner bud.

[@truegrit8280]

Didn't they have a regular floor drain in the basement so some of the water could flow there ?

[@ddteamrc6461]

All because some genius had to put a power strip where there shouldn't have been one

[@brodibro662]

You don't think the flame is too high? I mean the ohmes were at 1500. It's gonna go off in reset

[@MookieMan1]

Saeed Mohamedali it dropped to like 900 if you watch the video

[@danwittels5542]

She's a chewcha!

[@kdmq]

All the minerals and shit in the ground water corroded the set screw for the basket.

[@Novisk58]

I guess that's one way to clean the basement floor. At least it had none of those brown trout swimming around. I guess I should quit being a cheap sob and replace my sump pumps for my French drain system. Pumps are 10 years old and reminders of flooded basement are "not good" Not that customers would listen but sump pump checks and replacement should be a regular pm. Might avoid this disaster. Nice job Steve

[@johnnicatra570]

16:08

[@7islander]

Boilers not the leaker but the basement sure is. Should have sold them a sump pump!

[@bobsjers]

Might have been a good time to sell them a battery back up pump

[@iliketranes1412]

Or maybe it's time for a new basement lol

[@jackblack9830]

@steven lavimonier She was a wet one momma

[@JasonM35]

Un cani fadeli.

[@jason-ge5nr]

all from a power strip

[@tdgreenbay]

No tree took out the power for a few days
