The Food Stamp Program, administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, is proud to be distributing the greatest amount of free meals and stamps EVER.
Meanwhile, the National Park Service, administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, asks us to "Please Do Not Feed the Animals". Their stated reason for this policy "... the animals become dependent on handouts and will not learn to take care of themselves."

I thought I had seen worse till i saw the last picture ha!
Wow that's just fuked up, x2 on the last pic
And everytime I think I've seen it all till I see something like this!

Speechless.
Nice post! Suggest a CO detector for the basement?
I've seen those plastic rings on top a little melted but that's just nuts, they must have a ton of air infiltration that no one died from co poisoning
The problem is, the pipe is pushed to far into the stack(gutter). Pull the pipe back a little and it should vent just fine. Do they make a starkap for 4" gutter? lol
Good find.
The plastic rings should never have any signs of melting.
I thought "G" vent wasn't rated for hot water heaters.
Hey guys - I have actually talked the boss into getting them a CO experts low level detector. This is a older couple who in addition to the heater have a gas oven and dryer. I definately see a high probability of low level continuous CO.
The heater is in a vented crawl space. Half has been excavated to a little workshop/storage area.
Above the heater is actually the living room where the couple spends most of their days.
Gravity - I did move that sleeve and now heater vents the majority out. But I still get slight spillage out of DHood.
Sure don't like it but since Its not my company I really cant do much else except learn and wait for when I have a license and own the buisness.
Every day is a new chance to do my best and try and make combustion appliances safe as I can.
I would have red-tagged it. It is illegally venting into a vent pipe that aint in the book. lol.
Im glad you moved the pipe back. You have 5 minutes to establish draft.
Hopefully the vent in the space is keeping enough positive pressure and helping with draft.
I would have sold them on a new down spout lol
Would you hook it to the gutter?
Leave the bottom open for rain.
I wonder how many times that has been shut down. Is there a pile of red tags around there?.
Now your finger prints are on it.
Never argue with a crazy man.
actually......it IS YOUR CALL!! You were the last tech. to touch that.
If anything happens to the occupants, it will be your butt on the line. your boss will say "he should have shut it down, and didn't" when the lawyer is pressing him against the wall.
It took me awhile to realize that as a field tech. dealing with some BS from the boss is MUCH easier than dealing with being the last person that actually could have saved some lives.....but didn't.
Boss was at the job with me. And its been this way for 20 years.
I was not in any way asked to look at heater. I did quickly notice issue and lobbyd to install new direct vent.
Also after I repaired sleeve issue it was spilling less. I feel that I did all I could at this point.
