Chimney Problem Checker

Pick what you see or smell to learn what it may mean and how urgent it is.

These tools give planning-level estimates from typical values. They are not quotes, designs or engineering, and results depend on your actual chimney, appliance, fuel, site conditions and local rules. Only a site visit can confirm what a project needs, and we give you a written scope and price before any work begins.

    Pick what you notice

    A small spot, several places or all over.

  3. 03

  4. 04

    See the next step

    How urgent it is and what to do.

Tips

  • Take dated photos of anything that changes.
  • Do not light a fire if you suspect damage or a blockage.
  • A leaning chimney or an alarm sounding needs a call right away.
Questions

About this tool.

Is this a diagnosis?

No. It is a general guide. Only an inspection can confirm the cause.

What if I see more than one problem?

Check each one. Several signs together suggest moisture or a failing flue.

When should I call right away?

For a leaning chimney, smoke in the house, an alarm or signs of a chimney fire.
