SNAFU Minor

The Furnace

 

Our renovation was not particularly complex.  A two-zone heating system was already in place, yet during the course of renovating the second floor zone, the plumber some how managed to damage our furnace.  Valves clogged, pumps burned out, and large amounts of backwash emanated from numerous overflows.  $1,910 in repairs were required to correct the damage.

Damage to pressure values appeared within weeks after Touch of Class plumbers turned heat back on.
