Hi, Homeowner not a plumber but I am having a problem I am hoping to get some advice on. House is 25 years old, we have been here for 11 years and replaced the boiler 3 years ago. Forced hot water system with three zones. Since I have no idea what I am talking about I will try to avoid speculation and just state what I know, I am hoping someone may have some advice about what to do from here because the professional I had in here today said he can find no problem.
Situation: About 4 to 5 gallons of water from the heating system on the basement floor a few nights ago. No obvious leaks, heating and hot water systems seam fine. The plumber said he had no clue what might have caused it, saw nothing wrong.
My wife reminded me that last season when the new boiler was used for the first cold season we had found water on the floor before. Nothing as bad as this time but getting progressively worse over the season with no obvious leak (fine and dry then go down one night and boom a puddle...by the end of the season the puddle was large but not 4 to 5 gallons large).
I have no idea where to go from here. Plumber can't see any problems but I don't think it is typical for progressively bigger puddles of water to show up on the floor?
I can see obvious corrosion and discoloration on the discharge pipes for the potable and forced hot water pressure/temp relief system. I can see bad seals and corrosion around the Taco 007-F5 circulator pump but not even a clue about these big discharges of water.
If anyone can help I would be more than happy to provide any additional information, pictures or videos.
Thanks
