Another troll, who said it is! Why buy for next owner? If the repair lasts while owner owns it, fine, he may drop dead by then and kids can duke it out. May even drop dead before closing. You may be better at miracles. 😲🙏😎.

So if the customer wants to, so what? It’s his boiler, right? You sell boilers?

He has...

You said that right man,I think the people buying it will have more crap go bad 10 minutes after they sign the paperwork,

Maybe. I purchased a used Nissan years ago with a 6 cylinder motor, when I first starting working out of college. Used it for daily commute too. It had a head gasket leak very minor but couldn’t even see it. When I found out what it would cost, didn’t have the $$. The car had 52k when I bought it, sold it at 180k miles for $500 many years later. I can’t tell you how many cans of that shet I put in there, every time it acted up. Then one day at work when I arrived could see it high pressure hitting the fire wall. Looked like a power washer. Whoa, to get home later took one of those huge water dispenser clear jugs, I think 5 gall, filled it up to get home. Another can of stop leak and it worked, that prestone shet worked again. Never had a no heat condition in car. Then the bottom of the gas tank rusted and was dripping gas, looked inside the bottom was totally rusted. Previous owner had the car sitting claimed since new baby. Yeh I bet for a long time thanks to head gasket leak. Replaced the gas tank, went to salvage yard, took one out of another car. I tell you, too bad the body rusted to shet, so I ripped a part of the radiator cap gasket off not to build pressure, put another can of prestone in the coolant, and sold it for 500 bucks. Loved that old 5 speed Nissan Z, about a dozen bottles of stop leak. 👍😎.

Yes, in automotive they tend to leak again down the road but will seal again with another dose of stop leak.

@@gunfisher4661 glad somebody knows the truth, this guy with heater core shet may be selling cars. Knowledge is power, ignorance is bliss. He lost. Wish I had that Z, damn new BMW X5 loaded with shet, great drivetrain though. I’d pay another 70 grand to get rid of 95% of that shet, keep the drivetrain and body / suspension / steering.

Watch out heavy troll attack here. 😲😂😂. Who gives a shet what owner tells or doesn’t disclose to buyer, stupid trolls trying to straw-man. Can’t control sellers, that’s why - fools. Lie like sin, just don’t get caught, they live that way. You got it, pays to try. What the heck, so it leaks again, the house is not going to take off to space, I don’t think so. But I’m no expert 🤫🇺🇸. Peace.

So how much longer life do you think? My boiler ran 63 plus, still going strong, when I converted to gas. The instantaneous coil was rusted to shet, good luck with those bolts. Even had that stack relay setup, who, I think original burner too. Made heat & hot water for me, for about 25 years. I bought a full burner setup ready to go if that stack shet quit. Need to sell that, if I had Steve’s address I would ship it to him free, totally it’s his shipping and all, I’m well off to toss it can’t be bothered with eBay 👍💪😎.

@@robertp7209 it's lucky to get another yr out of it .now special he put tht seal It shit in it

@@larrytheplumber9851 are you an expert? Let’s assume you are. Are you the only expert? How many have you applied this product? Or do other experts have different opinions different experience level? Better yet, maybe, I wonder what actual experience the product manufacturer has documented. What do you think of those apples? 100 experts, 100 opinions, they have also 100 A holes. 🙄😩😎.

@@robertp7209 I don't give a shit dood I'm @larrytheplumber do u kn who the fucc I am .u better ask about me .I stay with the pipe son.

The boiler was fixed and not leaking when the homeowner or engineer did inspection before closing, then that’s how it goes. After all the warranty when new is long gone. You don’t have to disclose anything, perhaps asbestos and the like if you know about it. There is an old saying, “buyer beware”.

Depends on state law and the language in the purchase agreement. If a seller has to warranty all mechanicals in working order at closing the buyers woud probably have a claim. In my state the standard purchase agreements no longer have the in working order warranty clause, but they do require the seller to disclose any material change up to closing. So, it just depends.

I’m surprised that Steve would stick his neck out on this one. Feels a bit slimy. Trickery at the very least.

@@robertp7209 It really is a gray area. So if they homeowner fixes the leak with this method then they don't need to disclose. If the boiler continues to leak after the fix, even a little, but they turn it off and don't disclose it because it is almost summer time then it would be on them. The home inspector should have flagged the boiler anyway as being well past its lifespan.

In my state as long as the buyer doesn't ask how the boiler is you don't have to say anything. But putting a Band-Aid on it sure makes it like they want to hide something. And with today housing market the seller could do nothing and let the buyer pay to fix it. Go check out for yourself.

Yup. Best to replace the boiler, but the thing is already shot, so no harm trying this stuff first before shelling out the big bucks.

@@jblyon2 why replace when selling? Buy a new roof for next owner? Stupid is what stupid does. If keeping, if it lasts it lasts, the guy may drop dead by then.

Troll attack, in earnest. 💪.

Steve is under a troll attack. Did he say he’s selling the house or not, so what if did. What makes you care if he doesn’t or not, maybe years from now. So WTF does that have to do with the repair. Absolutely nothing. The repair doesn’t make it a new boiler, neither is fixing a flat tire makes it new? Yep, another material change. F’in troll attack, never seen this before. It’s up to the owner what he is willing to pay for, if he wants new fine. You get what you pay for. He’s paying either way. It’s not Steve’s issues, do you have any clue at all what’s on those yellow tags hanging, can you read? What are they called? Don’t be shy. Come on. But once again, WTF do I know I’m no F’in expert 😳😂😂😂.

Aluminum powder--used in anti-diarrheals.

had the exact same thoughts, this guy is just a cheap bastard and doesnt want to shell out 9K even though he will get it back when the house sells

Why, it makes heat doesn’t it? Does heat feel different if from new vs old boiler? Heat is F’in heat, don’t you know. 🤷🏻‍♂️.

@@robertp7209 well if I was the potential buyer, I'd pass on a over twenty year boiler. Putting a band-aid on it like Steve said is really not worth doing. Trust I learned the hard way buying my current home. Thank God it was a furnace, but still I came out of 5k. We won't discuss Ac,water heater,gutters,roof,windows, entry doors both house&garage.. It's about doing the right then. I can only imagine what other things in that house hasn't been replaced or repaired. Probably selling house as is.

@@TheOracle313 you have it $, others don’t. Is price negotiable? How about refrig, range, washer, dryer, built ins like microwave, gas fireplace, other shet. Better yet, hire a architect to find a property, show picture of what you want, blank check it. Hamptons NY, including tearing down an existing house on property, got to love blank checks buyers like you. And the wait list for the best architects, is years. And I mean blank check. Hell I’m just working class scum 😢😢😁.

@@robertp7209 blank check buyer ??. Middle class here buddy, a paycheck away from drowning. Lol, unless I was skilled as Steve I'd pass on my house. Luckily for me I found a way to fix up my house with little money out of pocket.

Every time you add fresh oxygenated water, your increasing the chances of the boiler rotting. It’s leaking because it’s old. It’s past it’s expected life span. Some go longer than others past that point.

Subaru sold basically the same stuff for their engines. Might still be available. Honestly though it’s just a band-aid waiting to fall off.

@@erikj.2066 When I worked at a dealer every head gasket job got a bottle of Barsleak lol

Sounds like a dealer I worked for where common maintenance and safety items found during a used vehicle works check that would be denied for repair by the A-hole managers in sales. They’d push the aftermarket warranty with the buyer, so some of the stuff would get fixed after the sale, and our paycheck would take the hit on the crumbs the warranty company was willing to offer for labor times. Sales department would also get bullshit with one of our state inspectors that would fail the freshly sold vehicle for inspection on safety items like tires, and loose steering components. Simply referred them to the R.O. showing the write up with all the details on the items they denied replacing during the initial works check.

@@erikj.2066 yep know that all too well. Part of that silliness is why my back is totally shot now. Lifting Allison transmissions by ones self does catch up when you least expect it lol

@@kg4muc yeah I hear you on that. That’s why I made a lateral move in the in industry, and stopped wrenching on them. Worked with too many miserable 50-60 year old guys dealing with carpal tunnel, arthritis, or they had to “retire” early to receive chemo, and plan their final arrangements. Also babysitting lots of morons, who had no business fixing a 10 speed, let alone the brakes on a car used for hauling around kids. Got tired of cleaning up their messes too. But they “work” cheap!

guy said 7K and steve corrected him with 9K lol

I paid $5K cash.
