Customer called for no heat on second floor of new home. Home was finished within the last year or so. Went to attic to diagnose second floor furnace and upon going up to attic found flue pipe from inducer assembly of unit no longer attached to the rest of the flue pipe exhausting out of roof. Opened furnace door and found the flue not attached inside unit as well. Included several pictures. Upon further investigation found the flue pipe was only being held together by tape. Their was no screws attaching each piece of pipe together. The tape did not hold and is the cause of the flue pipe becoming de attached. I reattached flue with screws and sealed with foil tape. With having the flue spilling gasses into attic , essentially the results would have been catastrophic. Performed in room co test with combustion analyzer after repair and found no traces of co at this time.
