🔍 Found During a Home Inspection

During a recent home inspection performed by InspectorCor Home Inspections, we identified concerns with the water heater flue pipe installation.

⚠️ The flue pipe shows improper configuration and support, including multiple offsets and questionable connections that may negatively impact proper draft. A compromised or poorly installed flue can allow combustion gases—including carbon monoxide—to spill back into the living space instead of venting safely to the exterior.

🚨 Proper venting is critical for gas-fired appliances. Flue systems should be correctly sized, properly supported, and installed per manufacturer’s instructions and current codes to ensure safe operation.

📌 Recommend further evaluation and correction by a licensed HVAC or plumbing professional.

This is why professional home inspections matter—venting issues are not always obvious but can pose serious safety risks if left uncorrected.
