From the appliance collar to the termination cap
A new deck, fence or addition near the cap
A termination that met its clearances when installed can fall out of compliance when something is built nearby. Additions, decks, fences and sheds are named in one owner's manual as later work to measure against the termination during routine checks.
Tell us about any building work near the termination since the fireplace was installed. We measure the relationship against the manual's clearances. If the termination no longer complies, we explain whether relocating it within the vent tables is possible, or whether the new structure needs changing.
A gas odor near the fireplace or vent
A gas odor inside the house is an emergency before it is a vent question. Get everyone out straight away, without touching light switches or the fireplace controls. Once you are all clear of the building, call the gas utility or 911 from outside and wait for them.
Leave the fireplace off until the responders have found the source and cleared the house. After that, we can inspect the appliance and its vent and explain whether anything there needs repair. That visit follows the same steps as any other.
Ordering listed vent parts for a return visit
Vent parts belong to one system each, and ordering waits for your approval. Part numbers are checked against the vent maker's lists before the order goes in, and again on arrival.
If the fireplace must stay off in the meantime, we say so. When the parts arrive, we fit them, check the route and run the appliance. The return visit is recorded with the first, so the written record shows the full repair from finding to finish. If a supplier changes the expected date, we tell you.
Elbows added during a repair
Every elbow counts against the limits in the appliance's vent tables. A repair that adds an elbow to clear a new beam or duct can push a route that was within the tables outside them.
We count the elbows and offsets in the route before and after any change. If an added elbow would break the tables, we look for another way to route the section. Offsets and elbows used in the repair are listed on your record, so the next change starts from an accurate picture.

Before you book gas vent work
Can a new window or door near the termination cause a problem?
It can. Terminations need clearances from openable windows and doors, and a new opening can fall inside them. We measure the relationship against the manual and explain whether the termination or the opening needs to change.
Can you work on a power vent fitted to a gas fireplace?
Where the power vent is listed for the appliance, we can assess it and follow its manual. That manual calls for the venting to be safety-checked before and after any installation work. Its household circuit stays with an electrician.
What happens to the old vent parts you remove?
We take them away with the other debris, which is cleaned up and hauled away before we leave. If you would like to see or keep a damaged section, say so and we will set it aside for you.
