Common Smoke & Draft Problems We Solve
Chimney airflow problems can be caused by multiple issues. Some of the most common include:
- Cold air blockages in the flue
- Chimney too short or improperly sized
- Dirty or clogged chimney liner
- Damaged or missing chimney cap
- Negative air pressure in tightly sealed homes
- Broken or misaligned damper
- Downdrafts from surrounding buildings or wind shifts
These issues not only make your fireplace unusable—they can cause smoke damage, poor indoor air quality, and even carbon monoxide hazards.
