Drafting Issue Diagnoses / Repair

Drafting issues can be some of the trickiest to determine due to the fact that there are hundreds of reasons why they can occur. A-1 Safety Chimney Service technicians are educated to evaluate, find, and solve these issues.

Height of the Chimney

 One of the most common issues is the height of the flue. A-1s technicians will be able to determine if the height of the flues termination needs to be raised or off set with other flues in the same chimney.

Cold Flues

 Cold chimney flues are another common reason for down drafting issues. During the winter months chimney flues tend to be extremely cold due to a number of reasons (not insulated, exterior chimney, etc.). There are many ways to rectify these problems and A-1 Safety Chimney Service has the answers and solutions.

Pressure Problems

 Pressure problems occur when the structure that the venting system is located in is either sealed to tight, or isn't sealed well enough. When a home is sealed to tight the venting system has nowhere to draw air from causing drafting issues. When the home is sealed well enough another source can overpower the draw of the venting unit causing flow reversal. A-1 can determine what the issue is and suggest a solution to the problem.

There are many other reasons why venting systems may down draft. A-1 is trained to figure the source of your problem and is willing and able to fix the problem.
