Backdrafting was noted at the top of the water heater as evidenced by the melted plastic caps. The chimney flue […]

Some panic over broken window seals and loose garage door springs and others gloss over back draft issues on hot water heaters. A seller could end up fixing issues that a buyer may not have cared […]
