Steam Pipe Replacement & Installation NJ
There are several good reasons to consider replacement of the old steam pipes in your system. Old pipes:

Typical steam pipe arrangement for home system
- Are weaker
- Are more likely to leak
- Increase build-up of rust sediment in steam boiler
- Reduce efficiency of steam boiler
- Can reduce service life of steam boiler
Your steam boiler system relies on a series of steel pipes and cast iron fittings to deliver steam to the radiators in your home. Over time, pipes deteriorate due to constant exposure to steam & water causing these metal parts to rust.
After many years steam pipes & iron fittings can rust enough to become too weak to perform their job. In addition, old rusty pipes continually add rust to the water returning to your steam boiler. This accumulated rust settles to the bottom of the boiler creating “boiler mud.”
As the sediment builds up, it insulates the water in the boiler above it from the heat of the burner below the tank and lowers heating efficiency. Monthly draining of boiler valves until water runs clear helps keep sediment flushed from the tank, improving efficiency and lowering your fuel bill.
If you notice that you’re having to drain more and more water to get to clear, this can mean it’s time to think about steam pipe replacement.
Allowing excessive sediment to build up not only lowers heating efficiency, it can also reduce the life of your boiler. Steam pipe replacement reduces the amount of sediment going into the boiler and will help increase the boiler’s service life.
