So this is strange but here it goes.
It appears that every time my boiler kicks on, water starts to seep up from the basement floor, about 4 ft away.
That's the short of it... my wife had this suspicion last year, but I couldn't/wouldn't believe. Then the summer came along, no seepage. Then the other day, she's in the basement exercising and sure enough, the boiler kicked in, water started coming up. I choose wisely and agreed with her that she must be on to something. Does it happen every time? Not sure, haven't done a true analysis of it yet, but there definitely seems to some correlation (but that doesn't mean causation).
The house was built in the late 50s and the boiler is probably almost as old. We've been lucky, but we know that might have run out... we've been preparing for the replacement boiler.
So, has anyone heard of such a thing before?
Thanks
