How we assess and repair gas vents
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.
What we can see and what stays concealed
Much of a gas fireplace vent runs inside walls, ceilings and chases, where it cannot be seen without opening a finish. An assessment covers the accessible parts, and it says plainly which sections were not seen.
We do not describe a concealed section as sound when we could not see it. If the symptoms point to a hidden section, we explain where access would be needed and what it would involve. You decide whether to open it, with the access and restoration priced before any surface is cut.
A new fireplace is an installation project
If the vent problem is one of several reasons the fireplace is no longer worth repairing, a replacement appliance may make more sense. A new gas fireplace is planned under our gas fireplace installation service, with its own vent route, framing and supply coordination.
We explain when an existing vent could serve a new appliance and when it could not. Only a vent system the new manual lists may stay. The decision is yours, and we set out the facts rather than pushing a replacement where a vent repair would do.
Adapters between the appliance and the vent
Some appliances connect to their vent through a listed adapter or starter section, particularly when a different vent series is used. The fuel gas code allows fasteners through a double-wall vent only at certain transitions, such as from a flue collar to the vent.
We check that any adapter is the one the appliance manual lists for the vent series in use. Homemade transitions or adapters from another product are replaced with the listed part. The adapter's part number goes on the record, because it tells the next person which vent series the system uses.

Gas vent work, questions and answers in Hillsboro Pines
Can you replace just the termination cap?
Yes, if the rest of the system is sound and the cap listed for your vent system is available. We confirm the vent maker and system from the labels before ordering, and check the joints nearest the cap while we are there.
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.
What should I do if a carbon monoxide alarm goes off?
Get everyone outside into fresh air, then call 911 from there. Stay out until the responders allow you back in, and leave the fireplace off until the vent and appliance have been inspected.
