I moved into the house this year (first home) and this is my first winter with the boiler. It was installed in 2006. I did have it inspected when i moved in (august, 2015) and it checked out alright. It is a two story century home with a brick chimney that runs up the side of the house. The hotwater tank and boiler both vent out this chimney, and living room gas fire place has it's own vent.
Today is the coldest day of the year (-30 with the windchill).
However, i just noticed there is water coming through the vent and making it's way to the floor. I have no idea how long this has been happening, but it must have happened before, and/or for a long time because there is rust build up in the spot it is coming in.
It could be coming from the gas hotwater tank that shares the main vent? Or perhaps chimney condensation? Or both? Or, just the boiler.
I took a picture of how it is vented as well as signs of moisture coming back down the vent for some time (no pictures of the rust or water on the floor though, but it is there).
