Warning Signs of an Obstructed Chimney

When a chimney is blocked, it may be hard to diagnose that issue on your own. However, there are some simple warning signs you can look out for:

• You smell exhaust when the heat comes on
• No hot water or heat
• Your carbon monoxide detector goes off
• More Soot than usual at the base of your chimney

Yes, many people may be surprised to know it, but no hot water or heat is a common sign you might need the replacement of your chimney flue. This is because many boilers and furnaces vent right through the chimney. Chimneys carry the gasses of the fire and exhaust up and out so it does not vent into the living room. However, when the boiler or water heater cannot effectively let the exhaust out through the chimney, they shut down as a safety measure. Thus, no heat or hot water.

Many people may think to call the plumber or the heating company. However, checking in with us can figure out the problem.

What Causes Flue Obstructions?

All chimneys are designed to safely and effectively remove any dangerous byproducts of burned fuel. So, when there is an obstruction, the chimney cannot perform this very important aspect properly. When it comes down to it, there are three main reasons your chimney flue can be obstructed.

• Excessive build-up of soot or creosote
• Birds, squirrels, or other small animals nesting in the chimney
• Collapse of the internal chimney bricks/tiles
• Tree foliage, trash, debris

All of these aspects are simple things, but they all can easily disturb the functioning of your chimney. Nests, tree foliage, trash and debris can pretty easily clog the chimney, making it unsafe for use. Soot and crumbling bricks are also elements to be cautious of. And your entire home’s structure and age may also play a part in the overall health of the chimney. However you want to slice it, you need to be understanding of these issues. But just know that when the time comes for the replacement of your chimney flue, these signs will alert you and us about its need.
