Help Needed- steam problem

Member Posts: 1
Good morning,
We own a gas boiler and it's set to go off automatically when the temperature reaches 55 degrees F, but as of lately whenever the heat turns on the boiler lets off a lot of steam, so much steam that my walls are drenched, I wanted to know if there was any possible way that i could fix this myself and if so how? any help would be appreciated.

Escaping steam
Where is the steam escaping from would be a start. Raise the setting and observe, or better yet take a picture and post it here.--NBC0 -
Also
what does the pressure gauge on the boiler read when it's making steam?
