Plumber Needed Any suggestions

      Not just a normal plumber, but one that knows how to work on Hot Water Boilers.  We contacted the people we lease the house from and they said to get a plumber to come out and get an estimate on repairs as well as do an annual PURGE of of the hot water heating system.  

There is a pressure relief valve on the boiler that is leaking.  Probably a liter of water a day.  It was no biggie during the summer as the boiler is turned off, however now that winter is coming on us. (Suppose to drop down to between Freezing and +2 this weekend, we are going to fire the boiler back up.  Which means it will be a liter of HOT water we loose every day.   I should note, that it is leaking internally and goes to the smaller pipe, which leads to a drain that goes outside the house.

   Were suppose to get someone to come take a look at it get an estimate and then get the repairs done.

If you know of a plumber or just happen to be one, could ya send me a note, please.   I took pics of the entire system and pics of the bad valve, its the one with the RED tag on it.

	Do you think they can do a gas water heater? MSN me the contact info, or drop him a line and let him know you have a friend that needs some work done, and give him my number.
