    Random vent that goes outside

    Thank you for the info. I'm not familiar with HVAC terms but the outside vent which is clearly wrong.. (not sure how long it's been like that.) is on the far opposite end of the bedroom return vent. Between them is a big Inlet to the furnace intake (probably not the right term but where it pulls...

    Random vent that goes outside

    I removed the end and it was to the white vent in my back room. If I shine a light all the way down the end you can see where it connects outside to the vent as pictured. Same style as my drier.

    Random vent that goes outside

    That is I originally thought, but the outside vent is for air to go out and not in.

    Leaking Chimney

    I had another person come out today. A friends uncle. He quoted me $4,500. Said the builders did it all wrong and has been leaking for a long time. He showed me cracks and showed the dark spots where water had been leaking. He says the freeze and thaw is causing the blow out. I still might...

    Random vent that goes outside

    After I took the mental off in the basement to see where it goes, this is what I found. It does connect right to the bedroom "intake vent" and then passes to the intake of the furnace and then whatever excess air is discharged outside. And that is just a total guess.

    Leaking Chimney

    I am just going off what the mason told me when he came out. I honestly am not very handy and don't know for sure. I am thinking about just doing the masonry caulk and seeing how that holds. Would I just clean off the old caulk and apply?

    Leaking Chimney

    After 3-days of hard rain I noticed my all brick chimney was leaking. Today I went to check it out and some bricks are damaged and the crown is lifting from the chimney. Looks like it was caulked at one point. I will attach some pictures for reference. I had a mason come out and take a look...
