Here are some issues that have come to our attention and have been resolved.ġ) Vent Stack Height - The height of the Vent kit is too high above the roof deck. Is it made of Cast Iron, Copper or Plastic? Plumbing vents started to standardize in the later 1960 which usually came to a 3' for residential and 4' for commercial buildings. We are continually working on our products, with the many different styles of plumbing vents especially going back into the 1950's and earlier, it becomes very difficult to determine how the vents are actually constructed. It makes us feel great and helps others gain confidence in our products and in our promise to you, that it will work or we will refund the purchase price. But, we are always looking for comments from our clients. I would especially like to thank everyone who has responded with a testimonial ! I know is hard to think about a sewer vent stack, especially when it is working. I want to thank all our customers for their past and continued support of No Frost Venting. Hello everyone! My name is Jim and I am the inventor of this product. I would not hesitate to recommend the No Frost Venting Sewer Kit, especially to those people that have a history of their vent stack freezing shut. Since then, my vent stack has had no further problems even though severe weather continued. Jim being a stand-up guy found a person for me and had it installed.

So I bought the device but struggled to find a person to install it. I was skeptical but since I know where Jim works (haha), I have nothing to lose. Luckily, Jim (owner), works as a contractor where I work. My house is a 2-story home so I was not willing to venture up the ladder and get onto the roof to chisel away the ice. I've started to smell the sewers inside the home and I needed to get this problem fix asap. However, this February, my vent stack was frozen shut due to build up of snow/ice. I've owned my home for more than a decade and I have never had a problem with my vent stack. Not a good combination for plumbing vent stacks.

Winter weather this year has been horrendous - lots of snow and frigid temperatures. I am very happy with it, gives me peace of mind during those periods of extreme cold weather. I would have had multiple issues during those 2 weeks without the No Frost Venting device. My sewer vent is on the back side of the house facing the north wind and it did not freeze up on me during that very cold spell. I installed the device on Jan 26th just a few days before 2 of the coldest weeks we have had since 1996 in the twin cities, which included 2 back to back nights of -32 F with -80 F wind chills. When I received the product I was impressed by how well made it was, very heavy duty, and you really can't see this from the pictures. When I ran across the No Frost Venting product, it just made sense to me after reading about how it works. I had tried some other products in the past but did not have good results. My vent stack froze shut one night in the middle of January this year, so I started searching around to see what was available out there to help with this problem. This winter of 2018/2019 is turning out to be worse (unless you like -30 F). The last time was the winter of 2013/2014, which was a particularly cold and snowy winter here in the Minneapolis/St Paul area. My testimonial on the No Frost Venting 24' Sewer Stack Kit: I have have had intermittent problems with my sewer vent stack freezing shut in the past.
