Please look I need expert advice quick!!!!
I'm sorry guys I'm not trying to be a whiner here but after this other plumber installed the 4 inch vent I am scared to death...
How hot should Type B pipe get??? All of a sudden after this plumber installed 4 inch pipe my Tee and chimney feed (Type B) becomes very hot to the touch! I don't recall that happening with the 3 inch pipe and in fact when I made the comment that it seemed cooler than the other pipes(when 3 inch was in) he said of course it would be because it is double lined pipe and doesn't get as hot as the single wall. Well take a look at these pics before and after it looks like he crimped the 4 inch pipe and put it OVER the Tee opening instead of in it like it was before and taped it up..to me that is forcing a lot of the exhaust out to the surface of the Tee and chimney
I don't think I am being an alarmist here am I???? Please , you guys are the experts and I need help. I'm not trying to whine but I have 2 kids in the house and am afraid of what he has done.....he also spun the Tee out a bit to get it away from the wood and now that is loose at it's connection to the chimney
Please look at before and after and help me please
I wish you guys were in NH and I know it would get done right..what is wrong with the plumbers I am getting from Sears??? They are independent plumbers/contractors for Sears
How do I find someone who can do it right? A big company????? I can't just open the phone book and guess
Please help with you expert knowledge.........I'm trying to learn
