There may be a pressure valve that has automatically opened. Look for a pipe that discharges to the outside of the house. Try filling the system and get your loved one to stand outside watching for gushing water. The valve can be reset, but each boiler is different and I can't advise on how to do that - I've got exactly the same problem!
