The flooded basement caused a crack in the heat exchanger
Back in April, every one of us had a significant storm that brought 12 inches of rain to the area.
The rain came over a several-day phase in addition to flooded most of the valley.
My wifey in addition to I have a basement in our lake house in addition to every one of us had many inches of rain in the basement before the storm was over. The flood in the basement covered parts of the oil furnace, however my wifey in addition to I thought things were fine once the water receded. The first time every one of us tried to use the oil furnace this winter, every one of us realized there was a problem. The two of us called the heating business to investigate the issue. The two of us found out that there was a crack in the heat exchanger. The heating business serviceman told us that the crack could have happened during the flood. The two of us would not have recognized there was a concern until every one of us tried to use the heat, so there was no way to assume ahead of time. The crack on the heat exchanger was near the base in addition to in a place where it was taxing to make a repair, so my wifey in addition to I had to buy a up-to-date heat exchanger. I was caught off guard by the disappointing news. The oil furnace will not labor without this important area which is responsible for making heat. The up-to-date heat-exchanger was an fancy area to upgrade, however the heating business gave me a deal on the installation fees. They also told me to contact our homeowners insurance, because they might refund all of my fees since the concern occurred during a natural disaster.
