The safety of every home's inhabitants is a top concern for Alacrity Home Inspection. Home Inspector, John Munsey, found this vent on a roof near Renton. Are you looking for Home inspectors in Tacoma WA? The exhaust vent is too close to the roof's surface and the asphalt shingles have discolored. Over time, the elevated temperatures of the asphalt and sheathing, underneath, will lower the ignition-temperature of the system to a point where it can ignite. John Munsey called for immediate evaluation by a qualified contractor and recommended keeping the furnace off until this potentially dangerous situation is addressed. Alacrity Home Inspections is a locally owned and operated, professional home inspection service for the Seattle- Tacoma-Olympia region.
