    Is the bottom picture the pile of rust that happened when you opened the boiler room closet door? LOL

    You may be able to fit three 2" PVC vents inside the one chimney, as long as there are no other appliances using the common chimney (like a water heater) Using a masonry chimney as a chase for 3 or 4 PVC vents are allowed, as long as you use the louver door for combustion air if the boiler instructions allow for indoor combustion air

    You might want to consider that option for the Utica Cub but they require Stainless steel venting Other boilers allow for PVC

    After you make that expensive repair and you still have the same problem, What will you check next?
