Damper Lock or Damage
A stuck or broken damper prevents proper ventilation, leading to dangerous carbon monoxide buildup and smoke spillage.
Creosote Odor & Buildup
A strong burning smell or visible tar-like deposits signal extreme creosote accumulation, a major fire risk.
Severe Draft Reversal
Smoke backing into your home is a critical hazard. This can indicate a complete flue blockage or structural failure.
Immediate Safety Protocol
Ventilate Immediately
Extinguish Fire
Clear the Area
