Just started to get a problem and thought I would throw it out there and see what you think.
Had my Boiler set up for 15 years. No issues. But in the last few days I have been getting exhaust fumes seeping into my living room from my Fire Place. My chimney has Two Flues, one for the Boiler and the other is the Fire PLace where I have a Pellet stove Insert. The Boiler Vent just goes into the Flue in the basement, but does not extend any further up.(pic). I'm assuming there are obviously cracks and gaps between the flues letting the fumes through. Taking the repair of the Chimney would be very expensive, could I have the Boiler Vent Pipe extended up further, to take care of the issue. The current pipe from the Boiler is 7inches.
