    Furnace has water noise in exhaust pipe
    My furnace is 11years old and I can hear water trickling inside the exhaust pipe. The vent pipe goes up through the attic.This is the first time I've ever heard this. Thanks

    Check the condensate drain on the furnace. Check to make sure the discharge pipe is clear of all debris.
