Possible Causes
Improper vent slope causing condensate backflow, Missing condensate drain on high-efficiency models, Cold vent pipe in unconditioned space, Loose vent joints
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn OFF the heater if you suspect vent leakage of flue gases.
Steps:
- Inspect vent slope: Ensure horizontal vent sections slope correctly per Marey instructions (usually back toward the heater or toward a drain, depending on design).
- Check joints: Verify all vent joints are properly sealed and locked. Reseal with approved vent sealant if needed.
- Insulate vent: In cold spaces, insulate vent sections to reduce condensation.
- Install or clear condensate drain: If your model requires a condensate drain, ensure it is installed and not blocked.
When to call a technician: For vent system modifications or if you suspect flue gas leakage.
