Gas Fireplace Vent Hood - options when building deck over top
Hello,
I am in the process of building a new deck on my house but I have a Nat Gas Fireplace Vent cover located in an area that the deck will be going over. Do I have any options to add an extension to the vent and run it under my deck and vent it out the side of the deck.
Can I build a box under the deck floor joists and run a chimney out the side of the deck or how do I deal with this vent.
The fireplace is located in the basement below grade and it vents up and out of the house threw the floor joist in the basement.
Any suggestions on how to deal with this vent would be appreciated |
Dundas Indoor Dryer Exhaust Vent
Saw this type of exhaust vent yesterday at an inspection. Would not these type of dryer vents violate code because dryer vents need to exhaust to the exterior?

Unusual heating set up
I came across this today, and while I don't think heating off a hot water heater is very economical, it is possible.
Since it's the only system in the home, my immediate thought was backflow from the heating loop into the domestic hw. There is no backflow prevention to the domestic. I did notice there are 2 pairs of feeds/returns, so there is a possibility of separate chambers within the heater. I am not aware of such a water heater (not boiler, which I know exists), and plan on calling the mfg to confirm.
Any input?
I will post pics when my son gets home, I cannot figure out how to resize them. |

Panel wall covering in garage
do any of you make mention of panel wall covering in a garage. My thinking is that how do I know if its installed over a "properly rated" wall covering that adjacent to living space. Or am I over thinking? |
Hello to all
I came to this forum as I was searching information about metering secondary water in residential property. I'm not in the inspection business, but considered getting into this business after I retired. I own residential rental property and worked in utilities installation, maintenance and repair for many years. Always interested in keeping up with information in various occupations. This has sparked my interest and hope to find useful insight from others. |
