Vent work for gas fireplaces in Leisure City
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.
Moving a termination to meet clearances
If a termination no longer meets its clearances, relocating it may be the answer. The new position must satisfy the manual and the code's clearance table, and the route to it must stay within the vent tables.
We look for the nearest compliant position and explain what the move involves, including new pipe, a new wall or roof penetration and closing the old one. Where no compliant position is available, we explain that too. The wall or roof finish around the old and new openings is listed for the right trade.
Nothing fitted that slows the vent gases
The fuel gas code prohibits devices that retard the flow of vent gases in a vent, chimney or vent connector. Listed draft regulators, safety controls and certain approved devices installed to their instructions are the exceptions.
Screens added to stop pests, restrictors from another product or homemade caps can all slow the gases. If we find one, we explain what it is and why it should come out. The listed part the system needs, such as a proper termination cap, is quoted as the replacement.
Checking an exposed termination more often
Owner's manuals already ask for routine checks of the termination for corrosion and separation. Where salt air reaches the house, those checks deserve a little more attention, especially on the side of the house that takes the most wind off the water.
Look at the cap from the ground when you can, and tell us if you see rust streaks, flaking or a loose cap. During service and vent visits we record the condition of exposed parts, so changes between visits are easier to see. Early attention usually means a smaller repair.

Questions about gas fireplace venting
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.
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.
Can the gas vent share a flue with a wood-burning fireplace?
No. The manuals we work from require a separate vent and prohibit venting into a pipe serving a solid-fuel appliance. The fuel gas code also calls for gas vents inside masonry chimneys to be labeled for gas appliances only.
