Have a new roof installed? Don't forget to check your gas flue ducts! They may have accidentally been disconnected during the roofing process.


A disconnected flue vent, especially for appliances like furnaces or water heaters, is a serious safety hazard. It can lead to the buildup of dangerous gases like carbon monoxide, which can be deadly. The fumes from the combustion process, which should be properly vented outdoors, can instead leak into your home.
