The vent behind your gas fireplace
Shrubs and vines around the vent cap
Shrubs, vines and trees can grow over a wall termination, blocking airflow and holding debris against the cap. Growth can also creep within the clearances the manual sets for the termination.
We look at the planting around the termination and explain what needs cutting back and how much space the manual expects. Trimming plants is a garden task rather than vent work, so we leave that with you or your gardener. Damage the plants have caused to the cap or wall seal is quoted as vent repair.
B-vent installation from appliance to roof
A new Type B vent runs from the appliance draft hood or collar up to a listed cap above the roof. Along the way it needs firestop spacers at ceilings, an attic insulation shield where it crosses insulation, supports, roof flashing and a sealed storm collar.
We size and lay out the route to the appliance manual and the fuel gas code, using parts from one listed Type B system. The height above the roof follows the code's rules for the roof and nearby walls. Each stage is checked before ceilings and roof are closed up.
Power vent circuits go to an electrician
A power vent needs household power, and some appliances need power for their controls and blowers. The circuits that feed them are electrical work and belong to an electrician.
If a power vent or appliance is not getting the supply its manual requires, we explain what we measured and what the manual asks for. The electrician handles the circuit. We handle the vent and appliance side, then test the system once the supply is correct. Both pieces of work are listed separately in the paperwork.
Direct-vent units rely on a sealed front
A direct-vent fireplace is sealed from the room by its glass assembly and gasket as well as by its vent. If the gasket or glass fails, the sealed system is no longer complete, even when the vent itself is sound.
During a vent visit we look at the glass assembly for obvious damage, because it is part of the same sealed system. A cracked panel or failed gasket is not repaired under venting. It is quoted under our glass replacement service, and the appliance stays off until it is fixed.

Before you book gas vent work
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.
Do you move a termination if clearances are no longer met?
We can relocate it within the vent tables for the appliance, using listed parts. If no permitted position exists nearby, we explain the options, including changes to the nearby feature by the appropriate trade.
What if the pipe inside the wall has come apart?
A separated joint is corrected with the listed parts and locking method once it can be reached. The appliance stays off until then. Access and restoration are priced separately from the vent repair itself.
