How To Isolate Steam Water Pipe From Floor Wood

Hi i am in process of designing baseboard heating for second floor zone.

How to isolate steam water pipe from floor wood.

The charred wood is at any place that a pipe is against a wood surface. On one joist where there is a pipe running horizontally along the length of the beam you can see a black haze on top of it along the beam it is not from a torch. You can use a combination of surface drying and air circulation to help remove moisture from the wood. Slip a plastic clip around each pipe and then press the clip down into the hole to isolate the pipe from the surrounding wood.

For example the large trunk heating duct is often suspended 1 inch from the bottom of the floor joists to make sure. Look for standing puddles of water near a wall.

Wood floors can add character and style to your home but water damage leave dark stains and can cause the wood to buckle. I took a piece of sandpaper and cleaned the charred off. Now move upstairs and check the vertical sections of hot water pipes that come up through the floor.

Second floor will be separate zone but i want to add one baseboard on attic and i should able to turn or off whenever i want for attic only without affecting second floor heating which is on same zone. We are replacing steam to baseboard heating. The trick is to isolate as much as possible the pipes from any wood framing. You can be sure that water is leaking in a wall if you see conspicuously wet carpet or notice that the floor is always wet in a certain area of your home.

This is the simplest way to tell that you have a water leak in your walls. Next up in heating cooling.
