05 · OLDER-HOME DRAINAGE PIPING

Cast-iron sewer pipe replacement

Top Shelf evaluates the accessible piping and replaces the failed section with correctly supported modern materials.

  • Leaking and cracked cast-iron building drains
  • Deteriorated hubs, fittings, and horizontal runs
  • Exposed cast-iron removal and PVC replacement
  • Shielded transition couplings

Steam boiler piping inspected by Top Shelf Plumbing and Heating in the Scranton area
06 · STEAM HEAT SPECIALIST

Steam boiler repair

Steam systems are simple in principle but unforgiving when piping, pressure, venting, water quality, or condensate return is wrong. Top Shelf Plumbing & Heating diagnoses the system as a whole so the repair addresses the cause—not only the loudest symptom.

  • No-heat and uneven-heating diagnostics
  • Banging pipes, wet steam, and water hammer
  • Main vents, radiator vents, and slow steam distribution
  • Water loss, flooding, feeders, and unstable waterlines

Steam boiler replacement with black-steel header and near-boiler piping by Top Shelf
07 · STEAM BOILER REPLACEMENT

Steam boiler replacement

A steam boiler replacement is not a like-for-like equipment swap. The connected radiation, boiler rating, risers, header, equalizer, Hartford Loop, returns, venting, controls, and water quality determine whether the new boiler produces dry steam and heats the building quietly.

  • Connected-radiation survey and EDR calculation
  • Boiler selection based on system demand
  • Manufacturer-required boiler risers and header
  • Equalizer and Hartford Loop piping

08 · BOILER REPLACEMENT

Boiler installation and replacement

A boiler replacement should solve the existing system’s problems, not copy them. Top Shelf evaluates the radiation, piping, fuel, venting, controls, water conditions, and service access before selecting and installing the new equipment.

  • Steam boiler connected-radiation surveys
  • Hydronic heat-loss and system evaluations
  • Gas and oil boiler replacement planning
  • Steam headers, risers, equalizers, and Hartford Loops

Steam heating system piping and radiator distribution service in Scranton
09 · STEAM SYSTEM SPECIALIST

Steam heating systems

A steam boiler cannot be separated from the system it serves. Mains, branches, radiator valves, vents, traps, drips, returns, pipe pitch, operating pressure, and connected radiation all affect how quickly and quietly heat reaches the building.

  • One-pipe and two-pipe steam system evaluation
  • Banging, spitting, and uneven-heat diagnosis
  • Main and radiator venting evaluation
  • Radiator valve, pitch, and distribution problems

10 · HOT-WATER HEATING

  • No-heat and uneven-heating diagnosis
  • Circulator and zone-control service
  • Expansion tanks and pressure-reducing valves
