Most likely the heater core is clogged/leaking.

Have a cooling system pressure test performed.

Most garages can pressure test the cooling system.

They hook up a gauge to radiator and hand pump the system to see if it will hold pressure.

Step 1 - A heater cannot operate unless the engine is full of coolant/antifreeze. If coolant level is low check the system for leaks.
