Tall vent terminations face powerful suction
Drawing flames and embers upwards in the rare event of a fire. Tighter caps and bracing counteract these forces to confine risks. We examine terminations for securely fastened, corrosion-resistant AV rated caps stamp certified to withstand hurricane-strength gusts. Loose caps pose catastrophe and fail inspections.
Building codes also specify a direct vertical vent route rising at least 12 inches from the roofline before elbowing. This clearance deters winds redirecting fumes towards intakes or exits. Elbows swinging too close require extension to pass scrutiny. Our video inspections methodically scope all rises and offsets adhering to clearances.
Seams, joints and connectors likewise undergo stringent leak tests pressurizing segments to validate airtight construction. Gaps leak fumes indoors or allow air inversions sucking flames backwards. We deploy manometers identifying even subtle defective fittings for repair.
Compliance certificates accompany our services as proof of due diligence.
