Sample comment:
It is important that a chimney be tall enough to perform its intended function. To ensure the chimney or vent is able to have proper draft to allow the harmful byproducts of combustion (including carbon monoxide), the chimney height is required to protrude a minimum of 3' at the highest point in the roof where the chimney or vent passes through the roof. The chimney or vent must also be 2' taller than anything within 10' Anything shorter may not have proper draft to safely remove the fumes from the dwelling.
If the height of the chimney is insufficient, It Is possible for the combustion byproduct re-enter through the roof vents. This could lead to hazardous fumes entering the home as well as soot and other dirt entering the dwelling.
