      Maybe. I purchased a used Nissan years ago with a 6 cylinder motor, when I first starting working out of college. Used it for daily commute too. It had a head gasket leak very minor but couldn’t even see it. When I found out what it would cost, didn’t have the $$. The car had 52k when I bought it, sold it at 180k miles for $500 many years later. I can’t tell you how many cans of that shet I put in there, every time it acted up. Then one day at work when I arrived could see it high pressure hitting the fire wall. Looked like a power washer. Whoa, to get home later took one of those huge water dispenser clear jugs, I think 5 gall, filled it up to get home. Another can of stop leak and it worked, that prestone shet worked again. Never had a no heat condition in car. Then the bottom of the gas tank rusted and was dripping gas, looked inside the bottom was totally rusted. Previous owner had the car sitting claimed since new baby. Yeh I bet for a long time thanks to head gasket leak. Replaced the gas tank, went to salvage yard, took one out of another car. I tell you, too bad the body rusted to shet, so I ripped a part of the radiator cap gasket off not to build pressure, put another can of prestone in the coolant, and sold it for 500 bucks. Loved that old 5 speed Nissan Z, about a dozen bottles of stop leak. 👍😎.

    @DeWittPotts 2 роки тому +23

    I am not a legal expert but if the new owners find out that the boiler was actively leaking and the homeowner knew about it and used this to patch it there could be an issue. The new owners could try to sue the seller for the cost of replacing the boiler. If they find this video it would support their claim that the seller knew the boiler was failing.

    • @robertp7209
      @robertp7209 2 роки тому +5

      The boiler was fixed and not leaking when the homeowner or engineer did inspection before closing, then that’s how it goes. After all the warranty when new is long gone. You don’t have to disclose anything, perhaps asbestos and the like if you know about it. There is an old saying, “buyer beware”.

    • @Bob.W.
      @Bob.W. 2 роки тому +3

      Depends on state law and the language in the purchase agreement. If a seller has to warranty all mechanicals in working order at closing the buyers woud probably have a claim. In my state the standard purchase agreements no longer have the in working order warranty clause, but they do require the seller to disclose any material change up to closing. So, it just depends.

      The home inspector should have flagged the boiler anyway as being well past its lifespan.

    the bottom line is, people are having hard times and money is going quickly, steve helps out with his options which equalls pricing options, if repair buisnesses dont flex and have options there gonna be bankrupt and closed up in 6 months. steve will stay afloat and survive going down the road with miss molly to his next call, and theres gonna be plenty of those. steves no fool.

    I'm sure they're fine, but I cringe when I see those press fittings on gas!

    Bandaid to limp until you can get a replacement … bull shit for a guy trying to sell the house and just passing it on to a buyer.
    Hope he gets sued
    Hope you put your sticker on the boiler so the new buyer knows who to call to sue the guy
