Choose a chimney concern before a contractor

A symptom is a starting point, not a diagnosis. These guides help you document it and prepare questions for an on-site professional.

All chimney problem guides
01Smoke Entering the RoomSmoke spill can have several possible causes. Stop use if it persists, record when it happens, and ask for an on-site evaluation of the appliance and vent system.02Chimney OdorsOdors may relate to deposits, moisture, airflow or another source. Record timing and conditions; a smell alone cannot identify the cause.03Water Stains Near a ChimneyA stain near a fireplace or chimney may have several possible sources. Track it safely and ask for a roof-to-interior assessment.04Damaged Chimney MasonryCracked or open joints, loose brick and surface wear should be evaluated in context. A photo can document change but cannot establish structural safety.
