Flooded insert.

[Mas0n]

Hello I have an unfortunate situation. My house recently flooded with about six inches of water. Just last year we had an insert installed. Took out the firebrick doesn't look too bad haven't tried the fan yet. Do you think I can use it?

Sorry to hear that. We've had many reports locally of frozen pipes leading to flooding. Remove the blower so that the area under the firebox can be inspected and dried if necessary. Maybe try out the blower on the bench if it is completely dried out.

If you are running off a well and a pressure tank, they make low pressure cut out switches that will cut power to the pump once the tank pressure falls below the cut on pressure. So if a pipe bursts the pump wont run forever and flood everything.

We live on a river which was my life long dream that hasn't been all that great. Fortunately it only got the back half of the house. Enjoying the harman p43 till I get the insert figured out.
