He did the work on my loft after I got out of college. If he’s still around he’d be like 90 years old now.
Thanks Steve, sounds like you are totally dialed in. The good news here is the system ran beautifully all season, so any potential future problems would probably be blamed on 1000 other things with no one guaranteeing there work for very long these days. It was a replacement boiler of the same size so all of the piping and venting was verified with the manufacturers specs to remain the same.
Is your MTA guy still around? Or if anyone knows someone with a link to that type situation its an easy way for them to make some quick money and us to get our signoffs necessary before the busy emergency season is upon us.
Thanks again for your reply.
It’s unlikely you’ll get a busy, licensed plumber to sign off on another plumber’s work, especially with something like a boiler installation which can be dangerous if not done correctly. Install an undersized pipe, screw up the venting or even use the wrong kind of pipe dope and the liability can be on him.
I’d look for a newly licensed plumber who hasn’t built up a business yet or a retired guy who still has his license. At my old loft I used a retired master plumber who worked for the MTA (subways) and who did it the old-fashioned way (string on pipe threads, poured lead, etc.) He would only work two or three hours a day, three days a week, but he eventually got the job done.
Yes, Licensed Plumber please.
and Yes, there are 3 categories for plumber, plumbing, and heating.
and Yes, plumbers do this all the time, but not all of them. and Yes, like many items on this forum, the prices charged range tremendously, and if you had a boiler installed and the guy didn’t come through with the license, you would be in the same situation, which hopefully you will not be. So, yes, we continue to seek a reasonable solution to our problem.
Don’t you mean “licensed” plumber?
How may times are you going to post this (see Sept 3rd & 9th)?
Is any plumber realistically going to “sign-off” on work he did not complete?
