Cleanup Safety Tips for Flooded HVAC Equipment

DO NOT attempt to relight ANY combustion equipment that has been flooded.

    There was a high school in the Pittsburgh, Pa. public school system that was was the recipient of 25 feet of raw sewage that came up the floor drains during a building renovation project. A contractor made a huge mistake when he accessed and blocked an old brick lined sewer system that ran under the building. The sewage in that line filled the boiler room completely covering the old fire tube boilers and the newly installed North American gas/oil burners. What a stinky and costly mess.

    A lot of you in the NYC area are going to be real busy over the next few months. If you can even be busier then you already are.
