: You will have to rely on the judgement of the rapairman coming to inspect and repair your problem. Things can get worse over time. The repair will require looking at the problem.
The repairman checked all the radiators for steam/condensate loss and main return lines for blockage. There was no problem with either radiators or return lines. He then opened the access doors on the boiler to check the "baffles" and could not see any evidence of boiler leaking. He suggested to "watch the water level" for another 2 weeks to see if the system would "stabilize" and I would not have to top it off so often. Is there anything else that could be leaking and it was not checked? Should I get a "second opinion" ? I cannot rest assured that everything is fine, because the system is still loosing water. Any response would be appreciated.
