The guys from my natural gas đź’¨ company came looking for leaks. It took them time to find the culprit. But they found this in my attic. The water heater flue, or exhaust pipe, that allows the hazardous gases to go out the home had a pretty big separation from water tank 4/7

CO is odorless and colorless gas, the only way to detect a leak is with a detector. A silent killer, and yes, worse than #COVID. I’m grateful I had it installed last year as part of a package that came with alarm system, but not because I thought I needed. Thank God!! 6/7
