Description

A section of the pipe feeding the heating unit in the attic burst, causing the deluge in the 1915 Erie Station on January 11, 2014. The extreme cold from a "Polar Vortex" froze the water this heating pipe connected to the air handler located in the attic. This piece was removed and replaced by Vic Mangano and T.J. Clayton of T.M. contracting.
