Pressure swings, safety valve lifting, or pressure that cannot be held under load. This page covers how we diagnose and repair it on steam systems in Boskruin Ext.
This fault is normally treated as priority work because the plant is still running but is damaging itself or wasting energy while it does.
Boskruin Ext is an extension of Randburg with a mix of original and renovated housing, so geyser positions, pressure control and pipework standards vary stand to stand. Gauteng municipal water is moderately hard, so scale on elements and heat exchangers is the single most common cause of falling performance.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
What causes steam boiler pressure problems?
The usual causes are pressure switch out of calibration, modulating burner not staging correctly, carryover from high tds water, undersized steam header for demand. Which one it is can only be confirmed by measurement, not by symptom alone.
How do you diagnose it?
Pressure switch calibration check; Burner modulation observation; Water TDS and alkalinity testing; PRV station inspection. The readings are recorded so the repair decision is based on data.
Can I keep using the system in the meantime?
Usually yes, for a short period, but efficiency and component life are both being lost while the fault persists.
Do you attend this fault in Boskruin Ext?
Yes. Technicians work out of the central Johannesburg base, which keeps travel time short for northern-suburb call-outs. Attendance in Boskruin Ext is grouped with other Randburg call-outs, which usually means a same-day or next-morning slot.
