Montclair’s grand Victorians, Tudors, and four-squares from Upper Montclair down to Watchung Plaza were built with big boilers feeding heavy cast iron radiators. Many of those homes still run steam or converted hot water systems, often with piping that dates back more than a century and boilers that have been swapped out more than once.
Titanium Plumbing & Heating repairs, replaces, and installs boilers across Montclair. Licensed, bonded, and insured technicians offer same-day, weekend, and emergency service.
Large older homes put serious demand on a boiler, and the strain shows up in specific ways. Montclair homeowners should book a visit when they notice:
Frequent water additions on a steam boiler often mean a leak somewhere in the piping, which can damage the boiler over time.
Century-old heating systems in Montclair homes share a recognizable set of repairs.
Titanium technicians work with these systems carefully, keeping the original radiators in service.
Large Montclair homes need boiler work that accounts for the whole system, from the burner to the last radiator on the top floor.
Repair service includes venting, controls, feeders, cutoffs, and piping repairs. When a boiler needs replacing, Titanium sizes the new unit to the radiation actually installed in the home rather than simply matching the old boiler, then removes the old equipment and tests the system. Upfront pricing and financing options are available.
Susan’s third floor bedrooms in her Montclair Victorian barely warmed up all winter. A Titanium technician found clogged main vents in the basement holding back steam and two failed radiator vents upstairs. He replaced the main vents and the radiator vents and checked the boiler water line. Steam reached the top floor in minutes, and those rooms finally heated evenly.
Montclair homeowners choose Titanium because their historic homes need technicians who respect the original systems.

Steam boilers lose some water normally, but frequent refilling usually means a leak in the steam mains, returns, or radiator valves. Constant fresh water can damage the boiler, so the leak should be found and repaired.
Clogged main vents or radiator vents, improperly pitched piping, or a boiler struggling to keep up can all keep steam from reaching upper floors. A technician can test venting and pressure to find the cause.
