Diagnosing Draft Issues with Chimney Airflow Testing

Draft problems are a common cause of smoke backflow and poor fireplace performance. Our airflow tests identify chimney depressurization, blockages, and other hidden factors disrupting ventilation. We use precise tools to analyze draft strength and airflow consistency.

Restoring Safe & Effective Draft

Once problems are identified, we recommend targeted solutions including draft inducer installation, flue resizing, or repairs. Our goal is to improve chimney function and prevent smoke hazards.
