Restoring finishes after vent access
After a concealed vent section is repaired, the opening used to reach it has to be closed. That can involve framing, drywall, plaster, tile or exterior siding, depending on where the access was made.
We explain who restores each finish before the work begins. Simple closures may be part of our scope, while decorative finishes usually go to a finish trade. Matching an existing paint or texture exactly can be difficult, and we say so in advance rather than after the wall is open.
The discount on vent work after your inspection
Vent repairs, like any other service we quote, come with a 10% discount when you give the go-ahead no later than 72 hours after your free inspection. The clock starts at your own inspection rather than a date on a calendar.
That gives you time to read the estimate, check the parts and ask questions without pressure. The reduced price is shown in writing on the estimate. If you approve after the window, the scope and the work stay the same, and only the price changes.
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.
Appliance repairs are a separate service
Faults inside the appliance, such as pilot, igniter, valve, control or blower problems, are handled under our gas fireplace repair service. A vent visit looks at the appliance only as far as its connection to the vent and its behavior while running.
If our vent checks point to an appliance fault, we explain it and quote it under repair. That keeps the scope of each job clear. You can approve the vent work and the appliance work separately, in whichever order makes sense for your home.
The gas venting scope you approve
- Accessible joints checked for full engagement
- Termination cap condition and fastening
- Supports, straps and wall bands
- Attic insulation shield position
Gas fireplace vent repair questions answered
Why does direct-vent pipe have an inner and outer pipe?
A direct-vent system usually runs one pipe inside another. Outside air for the fire comes in through one passage and exhaust leaves through the other, and both stay sealed from the room, which is why each joint and gasket matters.
Can a gas fireplace vent through an old masonry chimney?
Some appliances are listed to vent through a liner or gas vent inside a masonry chimney. Before the connection, the fuel gas code calls for the chimney passage to be checked for obstructions and cleaned if wood or another solid fuel was burned in it. Insert liners are handled under the insert service.
What is a draft check on a natural-draft fireplace?
After warm-up, a test at the draft hood relief opening shows which way the exhaust is moving, up the vent or back out into the room. We carry it out during vent work on draft-hood appliances.
