Why is there an air gap behind my fireplace insert?
I finally had to replace my siding around the chimney area outside, & discovered that there was a 2 ft x 2 ft missing drywall piece right above the insert. It does still have the black fiber board, but the drywall is mysteriously missing.
Does anyone know of a reason for that? I'm planning on sealing it up with something because this house is really drafty.
