    Bleeder stck & overflow leaking
    Husband turned on the heat. He never bled the baseboards. I started to bleed and one of the bleeders won't move. Tried some wd40. No luck. Can I use some force or am I risking breaking the vavle.
    Also- the overflow has a slow drip. Any ideas?

    Get a professional set of eyes on it. The overflow is a safety device, that may need attention.

    Thanks! I am calling about the overflow and will just have them try to loosen that bleeder, just in case it starts to leak and becomes unstoppable.
