HIya--I have a vent pipe that goes from the boiler to the chimney---it has a few holes in it that kind of look like someone punched them into the pipe years ago--is there a reason someone may have done that? there is hot air leaving this pipe up the chimney,,,were they trying to send some of this into the basement? should I plug them? thanks for any info!
eek-good to know--have already plugged them-wonders of duct tape--I have a co2 monitor right next to my boiler so I'll be safe--will replace-thanks for answering!
You should plug them immediately and it will be good to get an expert plumber who can repair it for you.IT will be recommended if you can call emergency plumbing service to give you instant solution to make it functional.
Plug them now if you can and you must have the boiler on, replace the pipe as soon as possible. Like get new pipe today if you can do this yourself, or call a service person today. Those gasses are the combustion gasses, and could contain various amounts of carbon monoxide which is poisonous.
complicated factor. try searching from yahoo and bing. that will could help!
