Do not burn through a blockage
Stop using the appliance while an obstruction is suspected. Keep children and pets away from the firebox and do not climb onto the roof.
02 · Chimney problems
Confirm who should handle it
Ask whether the provider can safely assess and remove the obstruction, whether wildlife rules apply, and whether a wildlife professional should be involved.

Check for damage and prevention
After removal, request a check of the flue and termination. Ask whether a compatible cap or screen is appropriate for the system.
Find a local company and confirm scope
Company profiles are directory records, not a diagnosis or endorsement. Confirm current service area, qualifications, insurance, availability and written scope directly with the provider.
