The boiler fires but pressure will not build to the operating setpoint. This page covers how we diagnose and repair it on steam systems in Magaliessig Ext.
This fault is normally treated as same-day work because the site has effectively lost hot water, steam or safe operation.

Where a site runs on borehole water, hardness and iron content shorten service intervals considerably and are worth testing before setting a maintenance plan.
