ive came across this problem before its the expansion vessel is letting in water and not working 100% which increases working pressure fact

Never bleed the expansion tank. If the system was installed properly there are bleeder installed up in the radiator or even in the baseboard, bleed those. Usually there is also a bleeding station at the boiler for each zone you can bleed it thru there. You have have to do it a few days later some more because air bubbles combine and become a big bubble if not all the bubbles were taken out the first time.
good luck

Actually a blockage wouldn't do much to increase pressure in a hydronic boiler. The boiler pressure doesn't go up or down from pumping or circulating. It only goes up from expansion from heating which the expansion tank helps accomodate. It can also increase pressure from a bad pressure reducing valve or a bad expansion tank. Blockage is very rare and doesn't increase any pressure.

OR IT COULD BE that the heat exchanger is partially blocked u noob. please for futur reference get a qualified certified heating technicien for this kind of inspection.
this guy or any other home inspectors dont kno shit about this cause u need to specialize in school. I recomemd u to get a heating and cooling tech so u dont waist ur cash on this clown here.
hes so vague "theres corrosion here and there..." well no shit any1 could spot that!
