Boiler Rust

Recommended Posts

This is a 10 year old Lennox cast iron boiler. These outside sections have excessive rust for a relatively new boiler in my opinion. How serious is this? How would you write this up?

Looks like the boiler castings sweat when it is shut down for the summer. They also may leak just a tad due to contraction. Common when a separate water heater is used. The owners can keep it on very low to prevent any leakage and keep the castings tight.
