Furnace Vent Pipe Repair in Toronto

Furnace Project, Toronto

Replacing a Damaged Furnace Vent Pipe in Toronto

At this Toronto home, part of the furnace vent and intake piping had been damaged and couldn’t stay in service. We cut out the damaged section, put in new piping and fittings, reconnected the run and secured it so it stays put.

• Problem: Damaged section of furnace vent/intake piping
• Location: Toronto, Ontario
• Scope: New piping and fittings, reconnected and secured
• Completed: October 2026

What We Found

A Damaged Section on the Outside Run

The vent and intake pipes on this house come out of the basement and run down the exterior brick wall, right beside the gas meters. One section of that piping was damaged. A furnace depends on these pipes to move exhaust out and bring combustion air in, so a damaged length gets replaced, not patched over.

The photo shows the run partway through the job, with the insulation sleeve taken off so we could get at the piping.

The Repair

New Piping, New Fittings, Secured in Place

We removed the damaged portion and fitted a new length of PVC pipe with new fittings at each end. Then we reconnected it to the rest of the system and secured the piping properly.

With the insulation sleeves back on, the finished run looks like the first photo on this page, and the furnace venting is ready for normal operation again.
