Be Careful of the Risk of Carbon Monoxide
A damaged or broken flue pipe can cause carbon monoxide to build up in your home. This can make you very sick or even cause death. Carbon monoxide has no smell, no color, and you can’t see it without specific equipment.
If you think your flue pipe is broken or your carbon monoxide detector beeps:
- Get everyone out of your home right away and call 911
- Turn off your water heater if you can do it safely
- Don’t go back inside until emergency services say it’s okay
- Contact Water Heaters Today LLC for emergency flue pipe repair
Common Venting Problems We Fix in Las Vegas
Too-Small Venting: Vent pipes that are too small for your water heater, causing backdrafting and bad combustion.
Wrong Slope: Horizontal pipes that don’t go uphill enough (needs 1/4 inch up for every foot), letting condensation build up.
Too Much Horizontal Pipe: Vent pipes that go sideways too far before going up, blocking the draft.
Missing or Broken Draft Hood: Broken, missing, or wrong draft hoods that don’t safely move combustion gases away.
Blocked Vents: Bird nests, trash, ice, or collapsed pipes blocking exhaust flow and causing dangerous backdrafting.
Rusted Pipes: Rust holes, bad corrosion, or old single-wall pipes that need complete replacement.
Wrong Termination: Vents ending too close to windows, air intakes, property lines, or without proper caps and screens.
Not Enough Air: Not enough air supply for proper burning, especially in tight or sealed homes.
Wrong Materials: Wrong materials like PVC, non-rated pipe, or pipes with walls that are too thin for your water heater type.
Multiple Appliance Problems: Wrong combined venting from multiple gas appliances creating draft or sizing problems.

Have Any Questions?
A flue pipe (also called a gas vent) is like your water heater’s chimney. When your gas water heater makes hot water, it creates dangerous smoke and gases, including carbon monoxide. The flue pipe carries dangerous gases from your water heater outside your Las Vegas home so your family can breathe safely. If your flue pipe is broken, dangerous gases can get trapped inside your house like your garage, which can make people very sick or even cause death. That’s why Las Vegas laws say every gas water heater must have a flue pipe that works correctly.
- Orange or rust spots on the pipe.
- Gaps or holes where pipes connect.
- Water marks around the vent.

Yes, a broken flue pipe is very dangerous. Carbon monoxide is a deadly gas you can’t see or smell. If your flue pipe is broken or not installed right, this poison can leak into your home. Never try to fix a flue pipe yourself because it’s too dangerous. You could get very sick, start a fire, or cause an explosion. In Nevada, only licensed professionals are allowed to work on gas water heaters. Our technicians at Water Heaters Today LLC have special training and licenses to fix flue pipes safely.
You should get your flue pipe checked once every year. In Las Vegas our very hot weather and hard water damages pipes really fast. If your water heater is more than 10 years old, you might need to check it more often. Water Heaters Today LLC checks your flue pipe when we do regular water heater maintenance.
Yes! We’re open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for emergencies in Las Vegas. If you think your flue pipe is broken or your carbon monoxide alarm goes off, get everyone out of your house right away.
