Help in San Diego?

in Strictly Steam
Hi all - I have a two-pipe steam radiator system in my 1926 house in San Diego, some radiators work, some don't, boiler is good, pressuretrol set correctly, etc. I suspect steam traps may be an issue, or gunk in the return somewhere.

I'd like recommendations for qualified repair people in the San Diego area - I haven't been able to find any.

Thank you!

    Visit the wholesale plumbing/heating supply houses and ask for recommendations.
    Even someone who is retired could be a start.
    The traps would be a good place to start-search here for testing traps for the procedure.
    Even one open trap can shut down the others on the same main.—NBC

    Yeah it gets cold there, especially when the wind is whipping in. Not like winter back east, but you need heat.
    I’d be curious to see pics of a house in San Diego that has steam.

    There was an error rendering this rich post.

    I'm usually there in the spring, but quite busy right now in the windy city.
