How do i seal the flue pipe coming out of a gas furnace?

I just had a wood burning whole house stove installed by a pro chimney dude. Within 2 months, the flue pipe for the chimney was leaking smoke into the house. It was leaking at the pipe joints. I went out and bought some muffler repair tape at the auto store. It's made by Permatex and is rated at 1000 degrees. It stopped the leak and continues to work fine.

If it is leaking when you use the shower, not shutting off completely, it will need to be replaced. If it is leaking at the wall, take it off and reseal the thread on the pipe with either pipe dope or Teflon tape and reinstall.


Does homeowners insurance cover plumbing repair to a leaking pipe behind a wall in the house?

AnswerIt may vary state to state but generally NO insurance will not cover the leaking pipe but it will cover the cost to get to it and repair the damage done to get to it as well as cover the damage done from the leak. You are on your own with the cost of the plumber. Best bet is to read your policy on exclusions. If it is not excluded, it's covered.

How do you repair a leaking pipe that is under concrete?

You will have to remove the concrete above and around the leaking pipe. All or some of the pipe may need to be replaced. If your house was new in the early 1980s, the PVC pipe that was used has been found to be generally faulty.ANS 2 - FIRST - make sure it IS under the concrete. In my experience this hardly ever happens unless the foundation has cracked, or building settled considerably.

When repairing a leaking pipe, you need a plastic tube that is not leaking and with a mouth a little larger than the pipe you are replacing. No specific kind of tubing would be preferable over another type.
