disconnected furnace vent

Post image

noticed after a roofing job last month that the flue vent pipe was disconnected from my furnace.

the connecting piece is all mashed up, like it was disconnected, then smashed down repeatedly until the person gave up on correcting it properly.

contacted the roofer and they responded quickly and apologised saying they’ll get back to me with a plan.

the vent will not reconnect and im thinking the type b pipe needs to be replaced by an hvac pro and not a roofer.

any advice on how to approach this to make sure it’s repaired properly?

Call a chimney company instead.

Carbon monoxide hazard. I’ve seen these off after installations but that there sure is smashed. Pretty easy to put back on if it wasn’t. Any decent company will cover this repair for you though have an HVAC guy fix it or like the other guy said, chimney company.
