Is Your Vent System Safe?

Filed under Shocking DE Inspection Discoveries
As a Delaware Home Inspector we see all kinds of things during a routine home inspection. While inspecting the heater and hot water heater I came across the vent pipe that was not properly installed. Anytime you have two appliance venting into your chimney the small diameter pipe should be above the large pipe. This is to help prevent carbon monoxide spilling back into your home if the two appliance our running at the same time. In addition if you look at the picture closely you will also see that the heater vent pipe is not properly pitched, It slopes on a downward angle. If the angle is not correct the heater will have to work twice as hard to get the carbon monoxide out of the pipe, This strain could cause the inducer motor and or pressure switch to fail. Notice the rust on the vent pipe for the heater this is caused by condensation build up, the condensation drips onto the pipe from the hot gases.
