Gas Appliance Venting Systems
While gas appliance maintenance doesn’t involve major cleaning as with wood fireplaces, we do have to do some cleaning to remove particulate matter that naturally builds up in the gas vent. If neglected, this buildup can grow to the point that it impedes the drafting of gas fumes and toxins. The biggest concern here is carbon monoxide, a clear, odorless gas that can be fatal when inhaled by people and pets.
We also want to make sure the material of the vent isn’t cracked or broken. A damaged vent pipe will allow carbon monoxide and other pollutants to leak into your home’s atmosphere. If we find issues with your venting system components, we can make repairs or replace them with new components.
