Erin and Steve of Antioch had an intermittent heating problem where the furnace would turn off after running for only twenty minutes. We found that the PVC pipe venting to the outside was not supported correctly, creating a water trap. The furnace gases were not venting, causing it to stop after twenty minutes. We supported and re-pitched the pipe and removed eight gallons of water that was clogging the pipe. Now the Furnace is running more efficiently and enduring less wear and tear.
