Our gas fireplace venting service in Pompano Beach
Where Type B vent must not be used
The same vent maker is clear about what Type B vent is not for. It should not serve appliances that need a pressure-tight or liquid-tight vent, or wall furnaces listed only for other vent types. Appliances that can readily be converted to solid or liquid fuels are excluded too.
If we find Type B vent serving an appliance its instructions exclude, we explain the mismatch and why it matters. The fix usually involves the vent system the appliance manual actually calls for. That work is quoted as a vent replacement, with the appliance kept off until it is done.
Leaks at a roof penetration
A vertical gas vent passes through the roof with flashing and a storm collar. One vent maker calls for a ring of nonhardening high-temperature sealant, such as silicone, around the pipe at the top of the storm collar to keep the roof watertight.
A ceiling stain near a vertical vent can mean the collar, sealant or flashing has failed. We check them where the roof can be reached safely and explain what we find. Vent-side repairs are quoted by us. If the roof covering around the flashing needs work, a roofer handles it.
Vent connectors on natural-draft appliances
A vent connector links a natural-draft appliance to its gas vent or chimney, unless the vent attaches directly to the appliance. The fuel gas code requires connectors to be made of noncombustible, corrosion-resistant material able to handle the vent gas temperature and resist damage.
We check the connector for its material, joints, slope and support, and for clearance to combustibles. A connector that is corroded, loose or made of the wrong material is replaced with one that meets the code and the appliance manual. The finding and the replacement are recorded.
Vent faults and appliance faults priced apart
A single visit can uncover both a vent problem and an appliance problem. We keep them on separate lines, because they are different pieces of work, often with different parts and sometimes with different urgency.
You can see what the vent repair covers and what the appliance repair would add. Some vent faults mean the appliance should stay off until they are fixed, and we say which. Appliance repairs are quoted under our gas fireplace repair service, and glass work under its own service.

What people ask about gas vents
What usually blocks a gas fireplace termination?
Nests, leaves, plants and debris are the items owner's manuals ask you to look for. Later building work, such as a deck, fence, shed or enclosed porch, can also crowd a termination that once met its clearances.
Can you tell whether my vent was installed correctly?
We compare what can be seen with the appliance and vent manuals, including the route, parts, supports, clearances and termination. We explain what matches, what does not and what we could not see.
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.
