Start With the Chimney Signal You Can See

This checkup does not diagnose a chimney. It turns an observable symptom into a safer first move, a professional assessment scope and a precise job brief.

First move

Stop use until assessed

Topics for a professional to evaluate

  • Draft or pressure problem
  • Obstruction or deposits
  • Appliance or flue mismatch

Use this exact job brief

Smoke has entered the room while the appliance is operating. I have stopped use and need a venting and appliance assessment. Please state the inspection level and whether draft, obstruction, appliance connection and flue condition are included.
