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.
