Something's scratching behind the walls of this house that has homeowners Christy and Steve Karsten scratching their heads. Series host and home inspector Rick Yerger finds it's not alive as they all thought, but the walls are hot--above 90 degrees. He traces the trouble to a gas-combustion furnace and a water heater. Something in the flue system is causing a backdraft and allowing deadly carbon monoxide to flow into the Karstens' home! The repairs include removing and reinstalling the flue system from the appliances up to the roof to ensure proper drafting and prevent fire. Proper strapping and hanging of the flue duct is also included. Fellow home inspectors Wally Conway and Tim Hockenberry join Rick Yerger to offer more safety advice on combustion appliances and proper flue systems in your home.
