This
is essentially the same problem as the previous one -- a fallen
vent pipe, but with additional negative results. A vent was not
properly fastened. It came loose and fell. The red circle at the
top shows where it was connected.
The
yellow square shows where the upper end was blowing hot fumes (note
the blackened Sheetrock) against the wall. And the red circle at
the bottom shows where the lower end connected. This is why intact
Sheetrock on walls and ceilings is code -- as a fire barrier. There
is fire risk here, as well as risk of fumes seeping into apartments.
And
of course, it again shows why vent sections screwed together are
the only way to go.
