Roofing Inspection and repair should only be performed by
a licensed and qualified roofing professional.
1). Attachment to the Fireplace
a. Make sure that the attachment of the venting to the top
of the Appliance is tight, secure and that no corrosion has
affected the venting’s integrity.
b. Make sure that both vents (incoming & outgoing) are
secure and that these flexible liners have not been kinked,
restricted or damaged in any way.

can collect and affect the performance of the Fireplace if the
venting is not vertical in all areas.
2). Roof Termination
a. Make sure that all sealing materials are in good condition
and that there is no opportunity for moisture to access the
building.
b. Make sure there are no signs of corrosion to the Vent
Termination or Roof Flashing
c. Make sure there are no signs of intrusion by any birds or
pests of any kind. Make sure animals have not built any nests
anywhere in the vicinity of the Vent Termination.
3). Attachment to the Vent Termination
a. If you have to re-seal a Vent Termination or Roof Flashing,
firstly make sure the Venting is secure to the Termination
or Vent Adaptor. Make sure there are no signs of corrosion
anywhere in the venting system.
